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.
One API key for hundreds of AI models from every major provider
Six hundred plus models for text, image, video, audio, transcription, embeddings, and reranking behind one OpenAI-compatible API.
Requests are rerouted to another provider on outages or rate limits by default, so you don't write custom retry logic.
The auto-router selects a model and provider per request using live marketplace performance and pricing data.
Track spend, tokens, and usage per model, provider, and team member in one place, including bring-your-own-key usage.
Offers robust serverless inference and GPU clusters for open models, but features a narrower selection of proprietary models.
