Automates web interactions for AI agents and applications without managing infrastructure.
About
Steel Browser is an open-source browser API designed to simplify the creation of AI-powered applications and agents that need to interact with the web. It eliminates the need to build automation infrastructure from scratch by providing a batteries-included browser instance, allowing developers to focus on the AI application itself while Steel manages browser sessions, page interactions, and browser processes. Features include full browser control via Puppeteer and CDP, session management, proxy support, extension support, debugging tools, anti-detection measures, and resource management, all accessible through a REST API and SDKs.
