Browser Automation

Karma One includes a built-in Browser Agent powered by Playwright that can navigate websites, interact with page elements, extract data, and capture screenshots -- all controlled through natural language instructions.

Overview

The Browser Agent gives your AI assistant the ability to see and interact with the web just like a human user. This opens up powerful workflows for research, monitoring, testing, and data collection.

| Capability | Tools | Description | |------------|-------|-------------| | Navigation | browser_navigate, browser_navigate_back | Open URLs and navigate between pages | | Observation | browser_snapshot, browser_screenshot | Read page content and capture visuals | | Interaction | browser_click, browser_type, browser_fill_form | Click elements, type text, fill forms | | Data | browser_evaluate, browser_network_requests | Execute JavaScript, inspect network traffic | | Media | browser_streaming | Analyze video and streaming content | | Tabs | browser_tabs | Manage multiple browser tabs |

Getting Started

Simply describe what you want to do on the web, and Karma One will control the browser for you.

"Go to news.ycombinator.com and list the top 10 stories."
"Open the pricing page of Stripe and take a screenshot."
"Search for 'machine learning' on Google Scholar and extract the first 5 results."

The Browser Agent works through an accessibility snapshot of each page, which means it understands the page structure, button labels, form fields, and links without relying on pixel-level image recognition.

Core Capabilities

Web Screenshots

Capture full-page or viewport screenshots for visual reference, documentation, or analysis.

"Take a screenshot of https://example.com."
"Capture a full-page screenshot of our landing page."
"Screenshot just the pricing table on that page."

Screenshots are returned as images directly in the conversation and can be saved to files.

Form Filling

Automate form submissions across login pages, search forms, registration flows, and more.

"Go to the contact form on our website and fill in: name 'John', email 'john@example.com', message 'Hello'."
"Log in to my staging environment with the test credentials."

The browser_fill_form tool handles text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns, and sliders.

Click and Navigate

Interact with buttons, links, menus, and other clickable elements.

"Click the 'Sign Up' button on the page."
"Navigate to the third tab in the dashboard."
"Expand the FAQ section and read the answer to the first question."

Supports left/right/middle click, double-click, modifier keys (Shift, Control, Alt), and hover actions.

Data Extraction

Pull structured data from web pages including tables, lists, prices, and text content.

"Extract all product names and prices from this Amazon search results page."
"Get the exchange rates table from xe.com."
"Read the full article text from this news page."

For complex extractions, the Browser Agent can execute custom JavaScript via browser_evaluate to parse and return exactly the data you need.

Web Content Reading

Read and analyze the content of any web page without needing to take screenshots.

"Read the content of this Wikipedia article and summarize it."
"What does the documentation page say about authentication?"

The browser_snapshot tool captures the accessibility tree of the page, providing a structured text representation of all visible content.

Video Streaming Analysis

Analyze video content playing in the browser, including live streams and embedded videos.

"Open this YouTube video and describe what's happening."
"Analyze the content of this Bilibili live stream."

Use Cases

Competitive Monitoring

Track competitor websites for pricing changes, new features, or content updates.

"Check the pricing page of [competitor] and compare it with last week's screenshot."
"Monitor the blog of [competitor] and summarize any new posts."

Data Collection

Gather data from websites that don't offer APIs.

"Collect all job listings from this careers page."
"Extract the product catalog from this e-commerce site into a table."

Automated Testing

Verify web application behavior by simulating user interactions.

"Go to our staging site, create a new account, and verify the welcome email prompt appears."
"Test the checkout flow: add an item to cart, proceed to checkout, and verify the total."

Research and Analysis

Conduct web research across multiple sources and synthesize findings.

"Research the top 5 project management tools. Visit each website and compare their features."
"Find the latest quarterly earnings for these 3 companies from their investor relations pages."

Tab Management

Work with multiple browser tabs simultaneously for complex workflows.

"Open three tabs: Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo. Search for 'Karma One AI' on each."
"Switch to the second tab and scroll down to the reviews section."
"Close all tabs except the first one."

Security Notes

The Browser Agent operates in a sandboxed environment. It does not have access to your local browser's cookies, saved passwords, or browsing history.

Avoid providing real passwords or sensitive credentials in prompts. For authenticated workflows, use test accounts or API tokens where possible.

The browser session is ephemeral -- it starts fresh for each task and does not persist cookies or session data between separate requests.

Network requests made by the Browser Agent are logged and can be inspected using the browser_network_requests tool for debugging and transparency.

Some websites may block automated browsers. The Browser Agent handles common bot-detection scenarios, but success is not guaranteed on all sites.
