An AI web browsing framework focused on simplicity and extensibility.

Package Exports

    This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@browserbasehq/stagehand) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

    Why Stagehand?

    Most existing browser automation tools either require you to write low-level code in a framework like Selenium, Playwright, or Puppeteer, or use high-level agents that can be unpredictable in production. By letting developers choose what to write in code vs. natural language, Stagehand is the natural choice for browser automations in production.

    1. Choose when to write code vs. natural language: use AI when you want to navigate unfamiliar pages, and use code (Playwright) when you know exactly what you want to do.

    2. Preview and cache actions: Stagehand lets you preview AI actions before running them, and also helps you easily cache repeatable actions to save time and tokens.

    3. Computer use models with one line of code: Stagehand lets you integrate SOTA computer use models from OpenAI and Anthropic into the browser with one line of code.

    Example

    Here's how to build a sample browser automation with Stagehand:

    See Stagehand in Action
    // Use Playwright functions on the page object
    const page = stagehand.page;
    await page.goto("https://github.com/browserbase");
    
    // Use act() to execute individual actions
    await page.act("click on the stagehand repo");
    
    // Use Computer Use agents for larger actions
    const agent = stagehand.agent({
        provider: "openai",
        model: "computer-use-preview",
    });
    await agent.execute("Get to the latest PR");
    
    // Use extract() to read data from the page
    const { author, title } = await page.extract({
      instruction: "extract the author and title of the PR",
      schema: z.object({
        author: z.string().describe("The username of the PR author"),
        title: z.string().describe("The title of the PR"),
      }),
    });

    Getting Started

    Start with Stagehand with one line of code, or check out our Quickstart Guide for more information:

    npx create-browser-app

    Build and Run from Source

    git clone https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand.git
    cd stagehand
    pnpm install
    pnpm playwright install
    pnpm run build
    pnpm run example # run the blank script at ./examples/example.ts
    pnpm run example 2048 # run the 2048 example at ./examples/2048.ts
    pnpm run evals -man # see evaluation suite options

    Stagehand is best when you have an API key for an LLM provider and Browserbase credentials. To add these to your project, run:

    cp .env.example .env
    nano .env # Edit the .env file to add API keys
