What Browserbase Stagehand does
Stagehand is an SDK for browser agents, which the page describes as built for agents rather than testing. Its Act, Observe, and Extract methods take natural language instructions. Self-healing actions refresh how actions run when sites change, and hybrid accessibility tree trimming is used to save tokens. Playwright-style methods such as goto, click, locator, and screenshot are supported, along with batched commands, deep locators for nested iframes, and shadow DOM and iframe support. WebMCP support, clipboard support, built-in OpenTelemetry tracing, and domain allowlists and blocklists are included. The SDK is available in TypeScript, Python, and Go, and deploys through Browserbase. The page does not state a license or pricing.
