Cloud browsers and web APIs for AI agents
Spin up scalable, sandboxed headless browsers on demand and drive them with Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or the Stagehand framework.
Find relevant websites from a single query and convert any URL into clean HTML, JSON, or markdown built for LLM context.
Authenticate agents and get through login walls, CAPTCHAs, and anti-bot systems so workflows do not stall mid-task.
Inspect sessions with live view, replay, structured logs, and debugging across prompts, model calls, and browser actions.

Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
