What is Browse Anything?

Browse Anything is an AI-powered browser automation platform that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to understand natural language commands and execute web tasks autonomously. Instead of writing complex automation scripts, you describe what you want in plain English, and our AI agent navigates websites, fills forms, extracts data, and completes tasks for you.

How It Works

1
You describe a task - "Find hotels in Paris for next weekend under €150/night"
2
LLM understands intent - Our AI parses your request and creates a plan
3
Browser executes - A real browser navigates to booking sites, applies filters, and gathers results
4
You get results - Structured data, screenshots, or confirmation of completed actions

Core Features

🤖

AI-Powered Navigation

LLMs analyze web pages visually and semantically to understand page structure, find interactive elements, and navigate complex UIs without hardcoded selectors.

📡

RESTful API

Task Scheduling

Schedule recurring tasks to run automatically. Daily price checks, weekly reports, or any schedule you need with cron-like flexibility.
