What is Browserbase?
Browserbase is a platform that gives AI agents real cloud browsers so they can navigate websites, fill forms and take actions where no API exists. One API key covers browsers, a Search API, a Fetch API that turns any URL into HTML, JSON or Markdown, agent identity tools, and observability.
Developers run managed headless browsers at scale, with captcha solving, stealth mode and proxies on paid plans. Sessions can be inspected through logs, live view and session replay. A Functions runtime deploys agents, and a Model Gateway provides model access. The company also maintains Stagehand, an open-source AI SDK for browser automation.
It suits engineering teams building agents, scrapers or automated workflows that need reliable browser infrastructure. The vendor describes its infrastructure as SOC-2 Type II, and the Scale plan offers HIPAA (BAA), DPA and SSO.
