🌤️ Want to skip the setup? Use our <b>[cloud](https://cloud.browser-use.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme-skip-setup)</b> for faster, scalable, stealth-enabled browser automation!

# 🤖 LLM Quickstart

1. Direct your favorite coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, etc) to [Agents.md](https://docs.browser-use.com/llms-full.txt)
2. Prompt away!

<br/>

# 👋 Human Quickstart

Browser Use 0.13 introduces a new beta agent powered by a Rust core and a browser harness built for current frontier models. It gives the model a real browser/computer action space, persistent tools, and recovery loops inspired by coding agents.

```text
Python API -> Rust core -> Browser harness -> Web task done
```

**1. Install Browser Use with the native core runtime (Python>=3.11):**
```bash
uv add "browser-use[core]"
# or: pip install "browser-use[core]"
browser
```

The `[core]` extra installs the native Browser Use runtime for your platform.

**2. [Optional] Get your API key from [Browser Use Cloud](https://cloud.browser-use.com/new-api-key?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme-quickstart-api-key):**
```
# .env
BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=your-key
# GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-key
# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key
```

**3. Run your first agent:**

**Browser Use Terminal:** 
```bash
uv add "browser-use[core]"
browser
```

**Python Script:**
```python
from browser_use.beta import Agent, BrowserProfile, ChatBrowserUse
# from browser_use.beta import ChatOpenAI  # ChatOpenAI(model='gpt-5.5')
# from browser_use.beta import ChatAnthropic  # ChatAnthropic(model='claude-opus-4-8')
import asyncio

async def main():
    agent = Agent(
        task="Find the number of stars of the browser-use repo",
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(model='openai/gpt-5.5'),
        # llm=ChatBrowserUse(model='bu-2-0'),  # Browser Use's own optimized model
        # llm=ChatOpenAI(model='gpt-5.5'),
        # llm=ChatAnthropic(model='claude-opus-4-8'),  # Sonnet also works well.
        browser_profile=BrowserProfile(
            headless=False,
            allowed_domains=["*.github.com"],
        ),
    )
    history = await agent.run()
    print(history.final_result())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

Existing Python agent users can keep using `from browser_use import Agent`. The new Rust-powered beta agent is `from browser_use.beta import Agent`.

Check out the [library docs](https://docs.browser-use.com/open-source/introduction) and the [cloud docs](https://docs.cloud.browser-use.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme-cloud-docs) for more!

# Open Source vs Cloud

We benchmark Browser Use across 100 real-world browser tasks. Full benchmark is open source: **[browser-use/benchmark](https://github.com/browser-use/benchmark)**.

**Use the Open-Source Agent**
- You need [custom tools](https://docs.browser-use.com/customize/tools/basics) or deep code-level integration
- We recommend pairing with our [cloud browsers](https://docs.browser-use.com/open-source/customize/browser/remote) for leading stealth, proxy rotation, and scaling
- Or self-host the open-source agent fully on your own machines

**Use the [Fully-Hosted Cloud Agent](https://cloud.browser-use.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme-hosted-agent) (recommended)**
- Much more powerful agent for complex tasks (see plot above)
- Easiest way to start and scale
- Best stealth with proxy rotation and captcha solving
- 1000+ integrations (Gmail, Slack, Notion, and more)
- Persistent filesystem and memory

# 🚀 Template Quickstart

**Want to get started even faster?** Generate a ready-to-run template:

```bash
uvx browser-use init --template default
```

This creates a `browser_use_default.py` file with a working example. Available templates:
- `default` - Minimal setup to get started quickly
- `advanced` - All configuration options with detailed comments
- `tools` - Examples of custom tools and extending the agent

You can also specify a custom output path:
```bash
uvx browser-use init --template default --output my_agent.py
```

<br/>

# 💻 CLI

Fast, persistent browser automation from the command line:

```bash
browser-use open https://example.com    # Navigate to URL
browser-use state                       # See clickable elements
browser-use click 5                     # Click element by index
browser-use type "Hello"                # Type text
browser-use screenshot page.png         # Take screenshot
browser-use close                       # Close browser
```

The CLI keeps the browser running between commands for fast iteration. See [CLI docs](browser_use/skill_cli/README.md) for all commands.

### Claude Code Skill

For [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code), install the skill to enable AI-assisted browser automation:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/browser-use
curl -o ~/.claude/skills/browser-use/SKILL.md \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/browser-use/browser-use/main/skills/browser-use/SKILL.md

# FAQ

<details>
<summary><b>What's the best model to use?</b></summary>

We optimized **ChatBrowserUse()** specifically for browser automation tasks. On avg it completes tasks 3-5x faster than other models with SOTA accuracy.

For pricing and other LLM providers, see our [supported models documentation](https://docs.browser-use.com/supported-models).
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Can I use Claude / GPT / Gemini through ChatBrowserUse?</b></summary>

Yes. `ChatBrowserUse` accepts provider-prefixed model ids, so a single `BROWSER_USE_API_KEY` reaches all of them — no separate OpenAI/Anthropic/Google keys required:

```python
from browser_use import Agent, ChatBrowserUse

llm = ChatBrowserUse(model='anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6')  # or 'openai/gpt-5.5', 'google/gemini-3-pro'
agent = Agent(task='...', llm=llm)
```

For the best speed and cost we still recommend the default `bu-*` models.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Should I use the Browser Use system prompt with the open-source preview model?</b></summary>

Yes. If you use `ChatBrowserUse(model='browser-use/bu-30b-a3b-preview')` with a normal `Agent(...)`, Browser Use still sends its default agent system prompt for you.

You do **not** need to add a separate custom "Browser Use system message" just because you switched to the open-source preview model. Only use `extend_system_message` or `override_system_message` when you intentionally want to customize the default behavior for your task.

If you want the best default speed/accuracy, we still recommend the newer hosted `bu-*` models. If you want the open-source preview model, the setup stays the same apart from the `model=` value.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Can I use custom tools with the agent?</b></summary>

Yes! You can add custom tools to extend the agent's capabilities:

```python
from browser_use import Tools

tools = Tools()

@tools.action(description='Description of what this tool does.')
def custom_tool(param: str) -> str:
    return f"Result: {param}"

agent = Agent(
    task="Your task",
    llm=llm,
    browser=browser,
    tools=tools,
)
```

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Can I use this for free?</b></summary>

Yes! Browser-Use is open source and free to use. You only need to choose an LLM provider (like OpenAI, Google, ChatBrowserUse, or run local models with Ollama).
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Terms of Service</b></summary>

This open-source library is licensed under the MIT License. For Browser Use services & data policy, see our [Terms of Service](https://browser-use.com/legal/terms-of-service) and [Privacy Policy](https://browser-use.com/privacy/).
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>How do I handle authentication?</b></summary>

Check out our authentication examples:
- [Using real browser profiles](https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/examples/browser/real_browser.py) - Reuse your existing Chrome profile with saved logins
- If you want to use temporary accounts with inbox, choose AgentMail
- To sync your auth profile with the remote browser, run `curl -fsSL https://browser-use.com/profile.sh | BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=XXXX sh` (replace XXXX with your API key)

These examples show how to maintain sessions and handle authentication seamlessly.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>How do I solve CAPTCHAs?</b></summary>

For CAPTCHA handling, you need better browser fingerprinting and proxies. Use [Browser Use Cloud](https://cloud.browser-use.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme-faq-captcha) which provides stealth browsers designed to avoid detection and CAPTCHA challenges.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>How do I go into production?</b></summary>

Chrome can consume a lot of memory, and running many agents in parallel can be tricky to manage.

For production use cases, use our [Browser Use Cloud API](https://cloud.browser-use.com?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme-faq-production) which handles:
- Scalable browser infrastructure
- Memory management
- Proxy rotation
- Stealth browser fingerprinting
- High-performance parallel execution
