The Browser Use capability lets your Agent automate interactive web tasks in a live browser — navigating pages, clicking buttons, filling out forms, and extracting data. Use it for tasks that require interacting with websites that don’t have APIs, like government portals, vendor platforms, or dynamic search interfaces. Browser Use works within Agents and can also be called by Workflows for more complex multi-step automations.
