🌤️ Want to skip the setup? Use our cloud for faster, scalable, stealth-enabled browser automation!
1. Create environment and install Browser-Use with uv (Python>=3.11):
uv init && uv add browser-use && uv sync
# uvx browser-use install # Run if you don't have Chromium installed
2. [Optional] Get your API key from Browser Use Cloud:
# .env
BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=your-key
# GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-key
# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key
3. Run your first agent:
from browser_use import Agent, Browser, ChatBrowserUse
# from browser_use import ChatGoogle # ChatGoogle(model='gemini-3-flash-preview')
# from browser_use import ChatAnthropic # ChatAnthropic(model='claude-sonnet-4-6')
import asyncio
async def main():
browser = Browser(
# use_cloud=True, # Use a stealth browser on Browser Use Cloud
)
agent = Agent(
task="Find the number of stars of the browser-use repo",
llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
# llm=ChatGoogle(model='gemini-3-flash-preview'),
# llm=ChatAnthropic(model='claude-sonnet-4-6'),
browser=browser,
)
await agent.run()
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())

Want to get started even faster? Generate a ready-to-run template:
uvx browser-use init --template default
This creates a browser_use_default.py file with a working example. Available templates:
default - Minimal setup to get started quicklyadvanced - All configuration options with detailed commentstools - Examples of custom tools and extending the agentYou can also specify a custom output path:
uvx browser-use init --template default --output my_agent.py
Fast, persistent browser automation from the command line:
browser-use open https://example.com # Navigate to URL
browser-use state # See clickable elements
browser-use click 5 # Click element by index
browser-use type "Hello" # Type text
browser-use screenshot page.png # Take screenshot
browser-use close # Close browser
The CLI keeps the browser running between commands for fast iteration. See CLI docs for all commands.
For Claude Code, install the skill to enable AI-assisted browser automation:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/browser-use
curl -o ~/.claude/skills/browser-use/SKILL.md \

We optimized ChatBrowserUse() specifically for browser automation tasks. On avg it completes tasks 3-5x faster than other models with SOTA accuracy.

For other LLM providers, see our supported models documentation.
Should I use the Browser Use system prompt with the open-source preview model?Yes. If you use ChatBrowserUse(model='browser-use/bu-30b-a3b-preview') with a normal Agent(...), Browser Use still sends its default agent system prompt for you.
You do not need to add a separate custom "Browser Use system message" just because you switched to the open-source preview model. Only use extend_system_message or override_system_message when you intentionally want to customize the default behavior for your task.
If you want the best default speed/accuracy, we still recommend the newer hosted bu-* models. If you want the open-source preview model, the setup stays the same apart from the model= value.
Yes! You can add custom tools to extend the agent's capabilities:
from browser_use import Tools
tools = Tools()
@tools.action(description='Description of what this tool does.')
def custom_tool(param: str) -> str:
return f"Result: {param}"
agent = Agent(
task="Your task",
llm=llm,
browser=browser,
tools=tools,
)
Yes! Browser-Use is open source and free to use. You only need to choose an LLM provider (like OpenAI, Google, ChatBrowserUse, or run local models with Ollama).

How do I handle authentication?Check out our authentication examples:
curl -fsSL https://browser-use.com/profile.sh | BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=XXXX sh (replace XXXX with your API key)These examples show how to maintain sessions and handle authentication seamlessly.
How do I solve CAPTCHAs?For CAPTCHA handling, you need better browser fingerprinting and proxies. Use Browser Use Cloud which provides stealth browsers designed to avoid detection and CAPTCHA challenges.
How do I go into production?Chrome can consume a lot of memory, and running many agents in parallel can be tricky to manage.
For production use cases, use our Browser Use Cloud API which handles:
Tell your computer what to do, and it gets it done.
