Connect AI agents to any website with natural-language queries
Describe the data you want in plain terms and AgentQL locates it, eliminating hand-written XPath, CSS selectors, and regex.
Queries keep returning consistent results despite dynamic content, layout changes, and page redesigns.
Integrate with Playwright and headless browsers to drive pages and extract structured data in a single workflow.
Retrieve public data from any URL without launching a browser, ideal for scheduled server-side jobs.

Cloud browsers for AI agents, scraping, and automation that won't get blocked
Swap launch() for connect() and point your existing Puppeteer or Playwright scripts at a managed cloud browser — no rewrite required.
Give MCP clients like Claude or Cursor ready-made search, scrape, and crawl tools, or run Browserless's own stateful agent for multi-step tasks.
Automatic anti-bot bypass, built-in CAPTCHA solving, and residential or datacenter proxy rotation to get through blocked targets.
Log in one time and reuse the session across every run, so agents start signed in without credentials baked into your code.
