SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Automate browser tasks for AI agents to interact with websites, eliminating manual, repetitive browsing for actions like navigation, form filling, and data extraction.

Core Features & Use Cases

Robust browser automation: open URLs, snapshot interactive elements into compact refs, perform clicks, fills, navigations, and captures (screenshots, PDFs) with minimal context.
Multi-session and authentication support: isolate cookies, storage, and state per session; reuse saved authentication states across runs; support various login flows and auth strategies.
Use case examples include onboarding form automation, QA testing, data scraping, and automated website workflows with human-in-the-loop when needed.

Quick Start

Open a target website, snapshot interactive elements, fill required fields, and submit to complete a task.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate browser tasks like form filling and web scraping with AI agents?▼

Browser automation for AI agents is handled by a CDP-based engine that snapshots interactive elements into compact refs, enabling efficient clicks, fills, navigations, and captures. This approach minimizes context usage while executing web scraping or form filling tasks.

Can I isolate cookies and authentication states across multiple browser automation sessions?▼

Multi-session isolation is supported for browser automation, allowing you to separate cookies, storage, and state per session. You can reuse saved authentication states across different runs to maintain login flows and automate authenticated website workflows.

What is the best way to capture screenshots and PDFs during automated website workflows?▼

Capturing screenshots and PDFs during automated website workflows is achieved by using a CDP-based engine to perform browser actions. The engine opens URLs and captures web content directly, providing the visual outputs needed for QA testing and data extraction.

Does browser automation work with proxy configuration for AI agents?▼

Proxy configuration is supported for AI agent browser automation, allowing you to route web traffic through specified proxies. This feature integrates with multi-session isolation and authentication flows to maintain state and manage network requests.

Why use compact element refs for AI reasoning in web scraping and testing?▼

Compact element refs are used in web scraping and testing to provide a minimal context footprint for AI reasoning. A CDP-based engine snapshots interactive elements into these refs, enabling AI agents to perform clicks and fills efficiently without overwhelming context limits.

When do I need human-in-the-loop control for automated browser actions?▼

Human-in-the-loop control is needed for automated browser actions when executing complex authentication flows or onboarding form automation that require manual verification. The automation engine pauses to allow human intervention before continuing the website workflow.
