What is browser automation?

Definition

Artificial intelligence browser automation combines browser control with model-based interpretation. An agent can open pages, follow links, fill forms and read results while deciding the next step from the visible state and task instructions.

Browser action can affect accounts and external systems, so permissions and approvals must reflect the consequences. Automation should verify the current page before acting and stop when identity, scope or target state is uncertain.
