What it does

Browser-use automates online tasks with ease by providing a Python library to control a browser, ideal for startups needing AI-powered browser automation.

When to use it

•When you need to automatically fill out forms on a website
•When you want to scrape data from a website that uses JavaScript
•When you need to automate user interactions on a website for testing or datacollection

Ready-to-paste prompt

browser.get('https://www.example.com/form')
browser.find_element_by_name('username').send_keys('your_username')
browser.find_element_by_name('password').send_keys('your_password')
browser.find_element_by_name('submit').click()

Heads up: Make sure you have the correct version of Chrome or Firefox installed, as browser-use is built on top of Selenium and requires a compatible browser version
