Every Modality Will Browse

Browserbase argues that browser agents benefit from several views of the same page. In its multimodal-agent essay, a screenshot shows what a user sees, the page's structure (the DOM) shows what it contains, and the accessibility tree shows what can be interacted with. Network events and a replay record add what changed and how the got there.
The proposed advantage is to use visual interpretation where appearance matters and structured information where precision matters, with a record of consequences. Browserbase argues that each moment an agent proceeds, stalls or fails can then become training data, data or a recovery opportunity. This is an infrastructure argument from a browser-infrastructure company about how to build and study agents, not a measured claim that combining these inputs improves success.
- multimodal — A model that works with more than text — reading images, audio, or video, and sometimes generating them too.
- AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
- eval — A repeatable test for AI quality — a set of tasks plus scoring — used the way software teams use test suites, because model output is too variable to judge by eyeballing.
