Happy to see there's a way to get browser automation for AI without building infrastructure to support it. Yet I don't see examples of connecting an LLM to drive a web session, just examples of using Puppeteer or Playwright or Selenium to drive a web session. Presumably your user base knows how to write custom code for an interface between Claude or OpenAI API and Puppeteer/Playwright/Selenium. Sadly, I don't know how to do that. Would it be fair to expect your documentation to help? What would you suggest to get started? Is the interface between Steel, or Puppeteer/Playwright/Selenium, something that might be implemented in the new Anthropic Model Context Protocol, so there's less custom code required?

I’d recommend checking out Stagehand if you want to use something that’s more AI first! It’s like the AI powered successor to playwright: https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand (I am one of the authors!)

Good point! The space is so early, and it's 100% on us to help people get started building web agents. We're actually re-working this repo (+ a tutorial with it): https://github.com/steel-dev/claude-browser https://github.com/steel-dev/claude-browser - which implements a web agent by reworking the claude computer use repo + page screenshots for vision. We also have more AI-specific examples, tutorials, and an MCP server coming out really soon (like really soon). You can keep an eye out on our releases on discord/twitter where we'll be posting a bunch of these example repos.
