Nope, you can also deploy and manage your own browsers as soon as they accept custom extensions.

Does "agent-based" here mean a CLI/Coding agent or software-level agents you built? I'd say that Stagehand is subtly faster for local use cases (batching, in-extension design) while covering both CLI (via https:/&#

The cache serves as a managed server-side layer in the Stagehand API, keyed to instruction, page content, and the options you provide. Model configuration is intentionally excluded from the cache, so switching models does not invalidate it.

We removed agent because so many great harnesses are available in the ecosystem. Instead of keeping it, we decided to make Stagehand v4 better integrated with popular harnesses, both at the Coding Agent level (Codex, Claude Code) and framew

Exactly, as Stagehand now runs inside the browser, you'll save on the round trip. Also, enabling batch actions will further accelerate your test suite.

Nope, Stagehand is open-source and works with local browsers by default.

A lot, especially for performance. That's why we built our own benchmarks that account for both the model and the harness. For example, with Claude Opus 5, the accuracy gap can be up to 3% and performance up to 200ms, depending on whet

It still uses CDP but communicates from an extension within the browser instead of a script running in a separate runtime or, worse, in a separate region.

We built Stagehand 2 years ago (24k stars and 4M monthly npm downloads) and recently fixed its biggest flaw: round-trip latency. Every action performed requires a round trip between your script and the browser (short when running locally bu

You can see durable execution as a combination of persistent state and queues (simplified example). With regular queues, the state is spread across many places from messages, runtime and external storages where the primary value is the reli

Yup, I definitely faced multiple loops or "blocked" scenarios when iterating on the prompt and tools. The most obvious one is when the Agent generates a terminal command that requires some interactivity (ex: "confirm to ...&q

Not the version featured in the blog post, but adding a MCP server like Stagehand could enable it to search on the web!

It is actually comparable to both. We aim to provide a similar feature set as Sidekiq (throttling, unique jobs) but with a complete hosted solution. While Defer and Temporal can both be used for writing background jobs, workflows, and CRONs

When deployed in non-local environments, background functions get executed on our infrastructure with their (securely stored) arguments, spawn in a dedicated isolated temporary container. For our users concerned about data locality, we reco

Here’s how our Builder works: When a commit is pushed, we fetch your application’s repository from GitHub and compile (if TypeScript) all the files in the first `defer/` folder found. Then, we require each of those files to retrieve th

I agree with you, as mentioned in the article, I’ve built similar solutions as yours at Algolia, using Redis and Kubernetes. However, not all developers know and want to do Kubernetes or RabbitMQ and not all companies can afford to invest t

Sure! We got our first customers from both channels: network (sales) and inbound (twitter discussions, etc). I agree that top-down is not working well for a newcomers but getting better at a later stage.

Sure, please note that was referring to “modern development standards” in the Node.js ecosystem. Node.js, with the flexibility of the JavaScript language, allowed the rise of great abstraction and other domain-oriented API designs, a bit li
