Stagehand
Browser automation framework
Stagehand is a browser automation framework from Browserbase that combines natural language and code. You write fixed steps in familiar Playwright style and describe uncertain steps in words for a model to execute. The framework is MIT licensed and runs locally or with Browserbase cloud browsers.
