Browserbase, worked by an AI employee
Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Browserbase account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Browserbase is
Browserbase is a serverless platform that enables developers to run, manage, and monitor headless browsers at scale, offering seamless integration with tools like Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium.
You paste in a key from your own Browserbase account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Browserbase whenever you like.

You stay the boss of your Browserbase account.
