New Skill: Browser Use - AI-Powered Browser Automation

We’ve added a new development skill to the directory: Browser Use from the browser-use team. This tool enables AI agents to autonomously interact with websites through a combination of CLI commands and visual understanding.

What Browser Use Does

Browser Use bridges the gap between language models and web browsers. It gives AI agents the ability to “see” web pages through screenshots and clickable element detection, then interact with them just like a human would.

CLI Commands

The command-line interface provides direct browser control:

• browser-use open <url> - Navigate to any website
• browser-use state - List all interactive elements with indices
• browser-use click [index] - Click on specific elements
• browser-use type - Input text into forms
• browser-use screenshot - Capture the current view
• browser-use sessions - Manage multiple parallel browsing sessions

Browser Modes

Browser Use supports multiple modes for different use cases:

Headless (Default)

Fast, invisible browser execution for automation tasks where you don’t need to see what’s happening.

Headed

Visible browser window so you can watch the agent work. Useful for debugging and demonstrations.

Real Chrome

Uses your existing Chrome installation with saved logins and cookies. Perfect for tasks requiring authentication you’ve already set up.

Cloud

Stealth browser with built-in proxies and anti-detection features. Handles fingerprinting and CAPTCHA challenges for production workloads.

Key Features

Vision-Based Interaction

The agent receives screenshots and a map of clickable elements, enabling visual understanding of page layouts and dynamic content.

Parallel Sessions

Manage multiple browser sessions simultaneously for tasks like comparison shopping, multi-account workflows, or parallel data collection.

Custom Tools

Extend agent capabilities with custom tools using Python decorators for domain-specific automation.

Use Cases

Browser Use is useful for:

• Form automation - Fill complex applications and multi-step forms
• E-commerce tasks - Add items to carts, compare prices across sites
• Research - Browse and aggregate information from multiple sources
• Web scraping - Extract data from dynamic, JavaScript-heavy pages
• Testing - Automate user flows and verify functionality
