Stagehand is an open-source browser automation framework from Browserbase that combines normal programmatic control with AI-powered page interaction. It lets developers use high-level actions such as observing a page, extracting structured data, and performing natural-language instructions while retaining the ability to drop down to deterministic browser code when appropriate.

The framework is built for production-oriented web agents where purely autonomous browsing can be unpredictable and purely selector-based scripts can be fragile. Developers can mix AI steps with standard browser automation, cache or reuse learned actions, and control how much autonomy is given to the model for each part of a workflow.

Stagehand is aimed at engineers building reliable browser agents, web data workflows, and application automation. Its hybrid design is useful for teams that want the adaptability of language models without giving up explicit control over critical navigation and interaction steps.
