Overview

By the end of this guide, you’ll have an AI agent built with AgentKit that can browse the web using Browserbase. You’ll learn how to:
  1. Create AgentKit tools that leverage Browserbase’s managed headless browsers
  2. Build autonomous web browsing agents that can search, extract data, and interact with websites
  3. Use Stagehand, Browserbase’s AI-powered browser automation library, to create resilient web agents
This integration is useful for:
  • Building AI agents that can fetch real-time information from the web
  • Creating autonomous browsing capabilities within your agents
  • Developing resilient web scraping and interaction systems
  • Enabling your agents to perform complex web-based tasks

​
There are two approaches to using Browserbase with AgentKit:

  1. Create custom Browserbase tools: Ideal for simple actions on webpages with manual browser control.
  2. Use Stagehand library as tools: Better for autonomous browsing and resilient web scraping.
