Launch HN: Browser Use (YC W25) β open-source web agents

Enable AI to control your browser π€
π Browser-use is the easiest way to connect your AI agents with the browser.
π‘ See what others are building and share your projects in our Discord - we'd love to see what you create!
π©οΈ Skip the setup - try our hosted version for instant browser automation! Try it now.
Quick start
With pip (Python>=3.11):
pip install browser-use
install playwright:
playwright install
Spin up your agent:
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from browser_use import Agent
import asyncio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
async def main():
agent = Agent(
task="Compare the price of gpt-4o and DeepSeek-V3",
llm=ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
)
result = await agent.run()
print(result)
asyncio.run(main())
Add your API keys for the provider you want to use to your .env
file.
OPENAI_API_KEY=
For other settings, models, and more, check out the documentation π.
Test with UI
You can test browser-use with a UI repository
Or simply run the gradio example:
uv pip install gradio
python examples/ui/gradio_demo.py
Demos

Vision
Tell your computer what to do, and it gets it done.
Roadmap
Agent
- Improve agent memory (summarize, compress, RAG, etc.)
- Enhance planning capabilities (load website specific context)
- Reduce token consumption (system prompt, DOM state)
DOM Extraction
- Improve extraction for datepickers, dropdowns, special elements
- Improve state representation for UI elements
Rerunning tasks
- LLM as fallback
- Make it easy to define workfows templates where LLM fills in the details
- Return playwright script from the agent
Datasets
- Create datasets for complex tasks
- Benchmark various models against each other
- Fine-tuning models for specific tasks
User Experience
- Human-in-the-loop execution
- Improve the generated GIF quality
- Create various demos for tutorial execution, job application, QA testing, social media, etc.

Cooperations
We are forming a commission to define best practices for UI/UX design for browser agents. Together, we're exploring how software redesign improves the performance of AI agents and gives these companies a competitive advantage by designing their existing software to be at the forefront of the agent age.
Email Toby to apply for a seat on the committee.
