Browser Use Desktop App
Run a team of browser agents on your desktop.
Every AI browser tries to be both a browser and an agent. Keep your normal Chrome — this is just the agent half.
Ports your cookies into a fresh Chromium so agents are logged in everywhere you are, and spawns tasks from anywhere with a keyboard shortcut.
Built on Browser Harness.
