Stagehand is an open-source SDK from Browserbase for browser agents. It combines natural-language actions and structured extraction with programmatic browser control.

Key Features:

  • Natural Language Actions - Describe browser tasks through act and observe APIs.
  • Structured Extraction - Extract page data using a defined schema.
  • Playwright-Style Methods - Use familiar navigation and locator methods; check compatibility for your SDK version.
  • Language SDKs - The current project provides TypeScript, Python, and Go SDKs.
  • Local or Hosted Browsers - Use supported local browser workflows or Browserbase-hosted infrastructure.

Older Stagehand releases used different browser APIs. Check the documentation for the version you install before migrating an existing automation.

Frequently asked questions

What is Stagehand browser automation?

Stagehand provides act for instruction-based browser actions and extract for structured data extraction. Applications configure the browser connection, model and schema needed for the workflow.

Can I use Stagehand without Browserbase?

Yes. Stagehand’s current quickstart launches a local browser and passes it to Stagehand. Browserbase is an available managed browser option. Local execution still requires the documented browser and model configuration.

What are the differences between Stagehand and Playwright?

Stagehand focuses on interfaces and context for browser agents, including instruction-based actions and structured extraction. Playwright provides browser automation and testing APIs. Compare the current versions and the agent or testing workflow you need; similar APIs do not imply identical capabilities.
