Browser agent
An AI agent that controls a web browser to navigate pages, fill forms, click, and extract information, automating tasks on websites that lack an API.
In more detail
A browser agent is a computer-use agent specialized for the web. It loads pages, reads their content, follows links, fills and submits forms, and pulls out data. This covers a huge amount of real-world work that lives only on websites: portals with no API, research across many pages, and form-based processes.
As with any screen-driven approach, browser automation is more brittle than a direct API and more sensitive to page changes and anti-automation measures. It is best treated as the tool for web tasks that genuinely have no cleaner integration, rather than a first choice when a proper API is available.
Where this shows up at Ceven
Ceven's research capabilities gather and read across the web to produce briefs with citations, and browser-style access covers web sources and portals that offer no API. Where a workflow needs to act on a website rather than just read it, the consequential steps can be gated for approval and are captured in the audit trail.
