Prospect firmographic research from any company website

When a new lead lands in the CRM with an incomplete profile, the agent opens a Browserbase session on the company website, extracts the business description, key products, and hiring signals from the Jobs page, and writes a structured firmographic profile back to HubSpot — then posts a summary to #new-leads. Sales reps start their outreach with a full context picture rather than a blank company record.

What you do manually today

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

Sales
120 min / week
Manual prospect research across company websites
Reps spend 20–30 minutes per prospect manually visiting websites, copying contact details, and cross-referencing firmographic data across tabs before writing it into the CRM by hand.
Sales Agent
0 min
Agent researches prospects via browser automation
When a new lead appears in the CRM, the agent opens a Browserbase session, extracts firmographic data and hiring signals from the company website, and writes a structured profile back to the deal record automatically.
Marketing
60 min / week
Weekly manual competitor pricing checks
A marketing team member visits each competitor's pricing page manually, copies current prices into a spreadsheet, compares them to last week's snapshot, and writes a summary for the team meeting — every week.
Marketing Agent
0 min
Agent extracts and diffs competitor pricing automatically
The Marketing Agent opens Browserbase sessions on all competitor pricing pages, extracts current prices, diffs against the previous week's data in Google Sheets, and posts a change summary to Slack — without a human visiting a single tab.
Customer Support
75 min / week
Manual vendor portal log-in to check order status
Support agents log into vendor portals individually for each order status query, copy the status information into the ticket manually, and log out — a 5–10 minute process per ticket that compounds across the day's queue.
Customer Support Agent
0 min
Agent retrieves order statuses via browser automation
The Support Agent uses a pre-authenticated Context to open Browserbase sessions on vendor portals and extract order statuses in bulk — writing results directly to ticket records without a human touching a portal.
Human Resources
90 min / week
Manual job board posting for each open role
Recruiters visit LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor individually, fill in the job posting form on each site, and verify the posting is live — 30–45 minutes of repetitive form-filling per role per board.
Human Resources Agent
0 min
Agent submits job postings to all boards automatically
When a requisition is approved, the HR Agent opens authenticated Browserbase sessions on each job board, fills and submits the posting form using the approved details, and captures a screenshot confirmation — all within minutes of approval.
Finance
45 min / week
Manual invoice download from each vendor portal
Finance staff log into each vendor billing portal on the first of the month, navigate to the invoices section, download the current PDF, and upload it to the accounts-payable folder — repeated for every vendor, every month.
Finance Agent
0 min
Agent downloads invoices via browser automation
The Finance Agent opens pre-authenticated sessions on vendor portals, triggers the invoice download, retrieves the PDF via Get Session Downloads, uploads it to Google Drive, and logs the data to the AP tracker — without a human logging in.
Operations
30 min / week
No visibility into runaway or stalled browser sessions
Without active monitoring, stalled automation sessions accumulate compute charges undetected — a session that gets stuck on a Friday can run through the weekend, generating unexpected infrastructure costs with no alert triggered.
Operations Agent
0 min
Agent monitors and terminates stalled sessions automatically
The Operations Agent runs a weekly sweep of all long-running sessions, retrieves logs to confirm stalls, terminates each one, and posts an incident report to Slack — capping compute costs before they compound.
Legal
90 min / week
Manual regulatory database searches by paralegals
A paralegal visits each regulatory authority website manually, searches for new filings and guidance updates, copies material items into a Word document, and circulates it to legal counsel — a 90-minute weekly process per jurisdiction.
Legal Agent
0 min
Agent extracts regulatory updates across all jurisdictions
The Legal Agent opens Browserbase sessions across all monitored regulatory databases, extracts new filings and guidance updates, logs them to the compliance tracker, and flags material items to the #legal-compliance Slack channel automatically.

FAQs

Questions about Browserbase Agent + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Browserbase?

Go to the Apps tab, find Browserbase Agent, and click Connect. The recommended path is MCP — Actionist installs the official Browserbase MCP server and the agent authenticates using your Browserbase API key. Paste the key from your Browserbase dashboard under Settings → API Keys. Actionist runs a test session creation to confirm the handshake before any automation tasks run.

What permissions does the Browserbase API key need?

The API key needs access to your Browserbase project. Generate it from the Browserbase dashboard under Settings → API Keys with the default project scope. The key authorises all session operations — creating, managing, and terminating sessions — as well as contexts, extensions, and downloads. A read-only key is not sufficient if you want the agent to create or run sessions.

What is the difference between Browserbase and Stagehand?

Browserbase is the cloud infrastructure — it provides hosted, scalable browser instances that run in the cloud with Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium compatibility, session recording, and a full REST API. Stagehand is an AI-powered automation layer built on top of Browserbase: it lets agents control browsers using natural language instructions ('click the login button', 'fill out the contact form') rather than CSS selectors or coded automation scripts. When you connect Actionist to Browserbase Agent, you get both: cloud browser infrastructure plus natural-language control via Stagehand.

Can Actionist agents run browser tasks for sites that have no API?

Yes. This is Browserbase Agent's core value proposition. Because the agent controls a real browser — clicking, typing, navigating, extracting — it can automate any website regardless of whether that site exposes an API or a webhook. This covers legacy portals, government databases, vendor back-offices, and competitor research sites. The agent reads the screen and acts on it, just as a human operator would, so no API integration is required on the target site.

How long can a Browserbase session run, and what happens if it disconnects?

Standard sessions time out after a period of inactivity. For longer-running agent tasks, enable the Keep Alive option when creating the session — this allows the session to persist even after a temporary disconnection and resume where it left off. Session duration limits depend on your Browserbase plan. All sessions are recorded by default, so if a session ends unexpectedly you can replay it in the Session Inspector to diagnose what happened.

What is a Browserbase Context and when should an agent use one?

A Context is a reusable browser profile that persists cookies, local storage, and authentication state across multiple sessions. When you create a session from a Context, the agent starts already logged into any site the Context was authenticated against — eliminating the need to re-authenticate on every run. This is particularly useful for scheduled agent tasks that need to access a logged-in portal or SaaS tool without interacting with a login screen each time.

Can I combine Browserbase Agent with other Actionist app integrations?

Yes — this is where Actionist adds the most value. A typical workflow might have the Sales Agent use Browserbase to extract lead information from a site with no API, then write the results to HubSpot or Google Sheets, and send a Slack summary — all in one scheduled agent task. Browserbase Agent handles the web interaction leg; the other connected apps handle the data storage and communication legs. Any of Actionist's connected apps can be combined with Browserbase in the same automation.

Does Browserbase support browser extensions and stealth mode for automation?

Yes. Browserbase supports loading custom Chrome extensions into sessions — useful for tasks that require ad-blockers, password managers, or site-specific tools. Sessions also use fingerprint profiles and residential proxies (on supported plans) to reduce bot detection. For sensitive data-extraction or compliance monitoring tasks, stealth settings help ensure the browser behaves like a normal user session rather than a flagged automation bot.
