Today, Browserbase released Stagehand, an open source standard and implementation that bridges the gap between things like Playwright, Playwright, Puppeteer or Selenium, which can control a browser but which were built primarily for testing applications, with LLMs to allow a much more expressive and fault-tolerant solution for agentic systems that control web browsers.
We sit down with Paul Klein, the CEO and Founder of Browserbase, and AI Tinkerers San Francisco organizer, as he unveils Stagehand and takes us on a tour of it's natural language interface and simple command interface -- "act," "extract," and "observe."
Paul explores the challenges of running headless browsers in production, highlighting Browserbase's role in providing a robust, scalable infrastructure and walks us through examples of Stagehand tackling the complexities of web automation.
