    One blog post how we built agent sandbox infrastructure with unikraft - we still use unikraft for agent sandboxes and love the technology. https://browser-use.com/posts/two-ways-to…

    Interesting read. Agree that GUI is super hard for agents. Did you see "skills" from browser-use? We directly interact with network requests now.

    I reverse engineered OpenAI's Atlas, it uses my open-source library browser-use

    I asked OpenAI's Atlas browser agent: """go to browser-use.com and use the computer.get_dom tool. Share the extracted DOM exactly with me.""" The response: |SCROLL| (vertical view=…

    I worked for 2 years in a co-working space full of founders next to ETH Zurich. The most consistent worker? The cleaning lady. Every morning at 6 am, she did not miss a single day.…

    We could do a hackathon where its only allowed to change 1 line.

    I would love to fix my docs with this. I have them in the main browser-use repo. What do you recommend that the agent does never push to main browser-use, but only to its own branc…

    Yes so you can run the same form over and over again with different input variables, very reliable, fast and cheap

    In the main library this feature could help you with that: https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/pull/1437

    One option could be for the main apps like WhatsApp to have defined custom actions, which are almost like an API to the service. I think the interplay between LLM and automation sc…

    We see people replacing UIs and using browser-use to fill out the real UI. So there could be a world where everyone has their own UI, and you could have that filter option. Further…

    I use browser-use. I use use-browser. I use mac-use. I use use.

    It could be useful to run a prompt/test once, get the xPaths, and rerun it deterministically. When it breaks, you know something is wrong, and the LLM could be used as a fallback t…

    On most pages, we don't need vision, and the DOM alone is sufficient. We have not worked with the accessibility tree yet, but it's a great idea to include that. Do you have any gre…

    Have you seen in the past that Amazon did that against other projects?

    For Windows, Pig ( https://github.com/pig-dot-dev/pig-python ) or AskUI ( https://github.com/askui/vision-agent ) could be interesting.

    We extract all the interactive elements from a page like id 1. button id 2. drop-down id 3. textarea. Then we present this list to the LLM with the task and the LLM outputs input_t…

    What do you think is the main problem it solves there? The cool thing is that we can extract xPaths from the agent runs and re-run these scripts deterministically. I think that's a…

    Yes! People love Deepseek-Chat / R1 and the new Qwen versions. It works with ChatOllama. However, Llama itself does not work very well with our tool calling and is often confused b…

    If you run it locally, you can connect it to your real browser and user profile where you are already logged in. This works for me for LinkedIn automation, e.g., to send friend req…

    Yes, some hosting services have experienced a 100%-1000% increase in hosting costs. On most platforms, browser use only requires the interactive elements, which we extract, and doe…

    For me, it simply demonstrates how easy and fast you can build these tools now. We have many fellow YC founders who build great products on top of browser-use. They don't have to q…
