Some work needs the web, not just the repo: checking that a deployed page renders, logging into an app to reproduce a bug, pulling facts off a site, or filling out a form. The browser agent gives a task a real web browser it can drive — and streams what it’s doing back to you live.

​
What you can do with it

Turn it on for a task and the agent can browse the web as part of its work:
  • Verify a deployed site — “open the staging URL and tell me whether the pricing page renders and the CTA works.”
  • Reproduce a bug behind a login — navigate an authenticated app and capture exactly what the user sees.
  • Read a page — “open this article and summarize the top items,” or grab a page’s heading, prices, or table.
  • Drive a flow — fill a form, click through a multi-step wizard, follow links.
  • Research across sites — gather and compare information from several pages in one task.

​
Watch it live — and keep the screenshots

The live Browser panel in AgentBees showing the agent's browser and captured screenshots

The live Browser panel — the agent's browser streams in real time next to the chat/terminal, with the screenshots it captured below.

  • A Browser panel shows the agent’s browser as it happens — every page it opens, live, whether you’re in the chat view or the developer view.
  • Each navigation is captured as a screenshot you can click to preview.
  • The screenshots are saved with the task, so they’re still there when you come back later — reopen the panel any time from the 🌐 Browser chip.

​
Two backends — pick isolation or speed, per task

Choose the browser backend for each task from the New Task form:
With Grid, browsing stays inside your own network — nothing leaves. rtrvr is faster, but the page content is sent to rtrvr’s cloud, so use it only for public, non-sensitive flows.

​
Turn it on

1

An admin enables it for the org

In Admin → Agent LLM, turn on the browser agent. For the rtrvr backend, add the org’s rtrvr API key in the same panel (Grid needs no key).
2

Pick a backend on the New Task form

Under Advanced options, set 🌐 Browser agent to Grid or rtrvr.

The agent gains web-browsing tools

It navigates, screenshots, reads, and fills pages on its own — and you watch it in the Browser panel.
The browser agent is off by default — browsing is an explicit opt-in, both at the org level and per task, so a task only reaches the web when you choose it.
