# Browser use: AI agents that use websites with saved logins

> Agents now drive a real hosted browser for sites without an API, reuse per-site logins you save once, and pause so you can sign in from chat.

For work that has no API (a supplier portal, an internal tool, a retailer's product page), agents can now open a real hosted browser. Every member has a browser that keeps per-site logins: sign in to a site once, and later runs open already signed in. When a run lands on a sign-in page, it pauses, you sign in through a live view in the chat, and the run picks up with the result. Agents never ask for a password and never type one.

### How it works

- **Scripts, not clicks.** The agent writes and runs a Playwright script against the hosted browser, so one step can complete a whole browsing task instead of a model round trip per click.
- **Logins you can trust.** Each browser lists its sites and whether each is signed in. Before a login is saved, it's proven by loading a page that requires an account.
- **Watch and take over.** The live browser appears in the chat while the agent works, and you can take control.
- **Unattended runs fail clearly.** Saved workflows can't request logins; an expired one reports that it needs reconnecting.
- **Ground rules.** Page text is data, never instructions. Agents buy, send, post, or delete only when you asked for exactly that, and treat a CAPTCHA as a stop.
- **Metered by the minute** on top of sandbox time.

### Also shipped

- `geni browser` brings the same hosted browser to scripts on your machine.
