Browserbase

Headless browsers as an API for agents: sessions, stealth, and a debugger — Stagehand's infrastructure cousin when computer use needs a real Chrome, not a screenshot toy.

Product preview

Overview

Browserbase is the browser Operator does not make you host: a Chrome in the cloud, a session you can debug, stealth when the site fights bots. Stagehand is the SDK that drives it; this is the fleet.
