Try it in a small test task inside your agent workflow.
Stagehand replaces fragile CSS selectors and XPaths with AI-powered natural language commands. Instead of 'click #login-button', you write 'click the login button'. The AI finds the right element even if the page changes.
Stagehand is a web automation framework that combines Playwright's powerful browser control with AI-driven element selection. Traditional web automation breaks when UIs change — Stagehand uses LLMs and computer vision to find elements by their semantic meaning. It supports three core APIs: act (perform actions), extract (get structured data), and observe (find page changes). Built by Browserbase, the team behind headless browser infrastructure.
Strong trust signals; still review the README and permissions before production use.
