An artificial intelligence web-browsing agent interprets a task and interacts with pages through links, forms or structured browser controls. It can gather current information that is not present in the model's training data and return sources or artifacts.
Browser automation remains fragile when sites change, block automated access or require authentication and human verification. Safe agents treat page content as untrusted data and request approval before consequential submissions or purchases.
