Stagehand

Stagehand helps teams build browser workflows that feel closer to instructions than raw automation.

About this resource

Stagehand helps developers describe browser work in a more natural way. It is useful for agent products that need real web interaction without hand-coding every click and selector.

Getting started

  • Start with one website task
  • Keep the browser environment stable
