What Browser Use does

Browser Use lets you hand an LLM a task and a browser, and it clicks, types and reads pages until the task is done. The library is free. The company also sells a hosted Browser Use Cloud.

Who it is for

Python builders automating web tasks such as research, form checks or data entry on sites without an API.

How to use Browser Use with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor

  1. Install with uv: uv pip install browser-use
  2. Set an API key for the model you want to use.
  3. Write a short script with Agent(task=..., llm=...) from the README quickstart.
  4. Ask Claude Code or Cursor to write and debug the script for you.

Tip: Keep tasks narrow and test on sites you own first. Respect each site's terms.
