AI agents for web browsing tasks

Complete multi-step tasks in a browser: forms, purchases, lookups and downloads.

12 agents, each with its inputs, outputs and review level checked by a person.

Browser agents complete multi-step tasks on websites: filling forms, comparing options, making purchases within limits, downloading files and gathering information from pages that have no API. They act in a real browser, so they can reach what other agents cannot, and that is also why they need limits.

They come in a few forms. Some run in a browser on your own machine, as an extension or a desktop app, and use the sessions you are already signed in to. Others run in a browser on the vendor's cloud computer, often as part of an always-on personal agent, and keep working while you are away. Developer tools expose a browser to your own code through an API. Many of the newer ones are in beta or invite-only.

The listings record how each agent is driven (a description, a recorded flow, an API), where its browser runs, what it can do, what it returns and whether a person confirms actions with consequences. Use them for lookups and repetitive form work first. Purchases, submissions and account changes need the review level checked and limits set.

Questions

How is a browser agent different from a scraper or a recorded automation?

A scraper reads pages and a recorded automation repeats fixed clicks. A browser agent reads the page each time and decides what to do next from a description of the goal, so it copes better when a site changes and can handle tasks that differ each time. It is also slower and less predictable. Vendors document reliability differently and the catalogue does not test it.

Does it ask before buying something or submitting a form?

Most pause for confirmation before payments, submissions and account changes, and some let you set spending limits or allowed sites. The review level on each listing shows the vendor's default. Keep confirmation on for anything you cannot undo.

Can a browser agent log in to my accounts?

Many can, either by using sessions already open in your browser or by having you sign in inside the agent's own browser. Either way it acts with your access, which is a security decision for you. The inputs section of each listing shows what the vendor documents.

Is it safe to let an agent browse with my data?

The agent sees what is on the pages it visits and what you tell it, and a web page can contain instructions meant to mislead it. Limit it to the sites and accounts a task needs, keep approval on for actions with consequences, and read the vendor's privacy page, linked from the listing, on what is stored.

Can I try one now?

Some are generally available and others are in beta, on a waitlist or limited to certain plans. The listing records availability as the vendor stated it on the date it was checked.

How are browser agents priced?

Usually by task, run, minute of browser time or credits, sometimes inside a monthly plan. Each listing shows the vendor's published model with the date it was checked, or states that pricing is not published.
