SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

AI workflows often require automated browser interactions, but heavy GUI tools can be brittle. agent-browser provides a lightweight CLI-based approach to drive web pages through ref-based selectors, making automation resilient and script-friendly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ref-based interactions: Interact with elements using refs from accessibility snapshots.
  • Navigation & Flow control: Open URLs, go back/forward, reload, and handle sessions.
  • Capture & Inspect: Take screenshots and fetch HTML/text for verification.
  • Parallel Sessions: Run multiple independent browser instances for concurrent tasks.
  • Use Case: Automate login flows, form submissions, and data scraping for AI agents without a full browser automation suite.

Quick Start

Use the agent-browser CLI to open a page, snapshot elements, and perform actions using refs, then inspect results or save artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate browser interactions for AI agents using a CLI?▼

Browser automation for AI agents is handled by the agent-browser CLI, which drives web pages using ref-based selectors. It enables navigating URLs, filling forms, clicking elements, and taking screenshots in headless or headed modes.

What are ref-based selectors and how do they work for web scraping?▼

Ref-based selectors for web scraping are identifiers derived from accessibility snapshots of a web page. They allow AI scripts to interact with elements resiliently, making browser automation script-friendly and less brittle than traditional DOM selectors.

Do I need to install anything specific to run headless browser automation with this CLI?▼

Yes, headless browser automation requires installing the agent-browser CLI globally and downloading Chromium via the `agent-browser install` command. This setup provides the necessary environment to run automated web navigation and scraping tasks.

Can I run multiple parallel sessions for concurrent web scraping tasks?▼

Yes, you can run multiple parallel sessions for concurrent web scraping tasks. The agent-browser CLI supports running multiple independent browser instances simultaneously, allowing AI agents to handle concurrent automation flows efficiently.

What is the best way to automate login flows and form submissions for AI scripts?▼

The best way to automate login flows and form submissions for AI scripts is using a lightweight CLI approach with ref-based selectors. The agent-browser tool navigates web pages, fills forms, and clicks elements without requiring a full browser automation suite.

Why use a CLI tool instead of a full browser automation suite for AI workflows?▼

A CLI tool is preferred over a full browser automation suite because heavy GUI tools can be brittle. A CLI-based approach using ref-based selectors makes browser automation resilient and script-friendly, ideal for AI agents needing lightweight web interactions.
