Browserbase describes a cloud browser as the execution environment beneath an AI agentAn 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.Full definition →: the agent chooses actions, while a remotely controlled browser loads pages, runs their scripts and performs interactions. Its architecture guide explains connecting automation code over the browser's existing control protocol.
Browserbase says a cloud browser service manages separate sessions and records them for later inspection. That matters when a team needs concurrent jobs or must investigate a failed run without having watched it live. The change is operational: browser hosting and observability become managed infrastructure, while the agent still supplies the decisions about what to do.
