Understanding how the browser agent works

In addition to the long list of fixes rolled out, the co-founder of Aside AI posted on X, explaining how they built their browser agent. If you don’t know, the core of the browser is the browser agent.

The agent is designed to securely log into websites, emails, spreadsheets, etc. After logging in, it proceeds by completing tasks that need authentication.

The browser also has an autonomous, long-horizon operation mode, called Ultrabrowse. This mode allows the browser agent to work more autonomously. The agent gets to gather context, handle complex workflows, and take care of follow-up actions. It does all these things continuously without the user’s input until tasks are fully completed. The most exciting part of it all is the ability to keep working until task completion occurs. Read more about how the Aside AI team built the agent here.
