## Key capabilities

- **Hosted headless browsers** — spin up and drive cloud browsers via API/SDK without managing infrastructure.
- **Session management** — create, observe, and replay browser sessions, with live view and recordings.
- **Stealth and proxies** — built-in options to reduce bot detection for legitimate automation.
- **Framework integration** — works with Playwright, Puppeteer, and Stagehand (its AI automation layer).

## How Browserbase compares

Browserbase provides the *infrastructure*, where other directory entries provide the *automation logic*:

| Tool | Role | Open source | Notable for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Browserbase** | Hosted headless-browser infrastructure | No | Managed cloud browsers you drive via SDK/API |
| **Playwright** | Browser automation framework | Yes | Deterministic scripted control |
| **Browser Use** | AI agent browser automation | Yes | LLM plans actions from a natural-language task |
| **Stagehand** | AI browser automation framework | Yes | Natural-language actions on Playwright |

Use Browserbase when you need managed cloud browsers at scale; pair it with Playwright for scripted flows or Browser Use / Stagehand for AI-driven automation.

## Editorial notes

Browserbase is useful when AI agents need reliable hosted browser sessions, debugging, and web automation infrastructure.
