Browser Use

Python library that gives AI agents full browser control — navigate, click, fill forms, extract data. Built on Playwright. Reached 50K GitHub stars faster than most AI infra projects. Works with any LLM.

Stagehand

TypeScript framework for AI browser automation built on Playwright. Introduces act/extract/observe primitives that let LLMs control browsers with natural language. Action caching (v3) makes repeated flows deterministic and cheap.
