What it does

Browser Use connects an AI model to a real web browser. You describe a task in plain words, like "find the cheapest flight on these dates" or "collect these prices into a list", and the AI clicks, scrolls and types its way through websites to do it.

This kind of tool is called an "AI agent": instead of only answering questions, the AI takes actions.

The open-source library is free. The company behind it also sells a hosted version.

Who it's for
