Browser Use: AI agents that actually operate a browser
Your model can describe a website. This lets it use one: navigate, click, type, fill the form and finish the task.
Browser Use is a free, MIT-licensed Python library that lets AI agents operate a real web browser: navigating pages, clicking elements, typing into fields, filling forms and completing multi-step tasks such as finding and booking a slot. It is built on Playwright and installs with a single pip command, and it is available as an open-source library, a CLI for your own agent, or a hosted cloud service if you would rather not run browsers yourself. It is the practical answer to the gap between a model that can read about a website and one that can actually use it.
What you get
- Agents that drive a real browser rather than scraping HTML
- Navigate, click, type, fill forms and complete multi-step tasks
- One pip command to install, built on Playwright
- Open-source library, a CLI, or a hosted cloud option
- MIT licensed, so commercial use is unambiguous
Who this is not for
Browser automation is brittle and slow compared with an API. If the site you are targeting has an API, use the API. Also check the site's terms: automating a login or scraping behind one can breach them regardless of the technology.

Common questions
Is Browser Use free?
The library is MIT licensed and free. There is a separate paid hosted cloud product, and you still pay whichever model provider drives the agent.
How is it different from Playwright or Selenium?
Those are scripted: you write every step. Browser Use puts a model in the loop, so you describe the goal and it decides which elements to interact with. It is built on Playwright underneath.
Is it reliable enough for client work?
For well-defined tasks on stable pages, it can be. Treat it as inherently fragile: page changes break it, and you need retries, monitoring and a fallback. Never make it the only path for something critical.
Can it handle logins and CAPTCHAs?
It can drive login forms and handles some CAPTCHA flows, but doing so may breach the site's terms of service. Confirm you are permitted to automate an account before you do.
