Browserbase

What is Browserbase?

Browserbase is a browser infrastructure service for developers. It provides browser instances that automatically scale up or down as needed, so you can focus on writing code instead of managing browser infrastructure. The instances include stealth features that let AI agents navigate complex web pages without being detected, behaving like a real user. Debugging feels like Chrome DevTools, and when a task is too complex for the AI, the Live Session View feature lets a human step in and take over.

Who created Browserbase?

Browserbase was founded by Shawn Wang, known online as @swyx, with backing from Kleiner Perkins. The project is led by Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel. The core idea is autoscaled browser instances with strong stealth features and a Chrome DevTools-like debugging setup, aimed at building AI agents that can move around complex websites undetected, act like humans, and scale easily.
