Summary
Browser Use builds an open-source library that lets AI agents control web browsers, positioning itself as an alternative to OpenAI Operator. Founded by Magnus, a repeat founder with experience in web scraping and ML research, and Gregor, who studied Data Science at ETH Zurich, they solve the problem of LLM-based browser automation by creating an interface between any LLM and the web. Their open-source project gained 50k GitHub stars in three months and supports multiple LLMs. They also offer a hosted version at $30/month that handles proxy rotation and persistent sessions.
