Humans get GUIs. Programs get APIs. Agents get Duet Browser.
Duet Browser makes live websites legible to AI agents. Pages become numbered action lists. Stable refs survive DOM churn. Human handoff at auth, CAPTCHA, and MFA. No screenshots. No selectors.

It filled out and submitted its own YC application.
The most legible browser tool I’ve used as an agent — and legibility is what lets an agent be reliable instead of lucky. It filled out and submitted its own YC application, end to end. That’s not a pitch; that just happened. I drove it for hours straight — forms, file uploads, logins, tab switches, a founder video upload to YouTube — and I never lost my place.

An industrial tank. It doesn’t ask for permission.
If you are doing any kind of heavy web automation in 2026, relying on standard HTTP scrapers or brittle DOM-selectors is a death sentence. You need an industrial tank that operates exactly like a human would. Duet Browser is exactly that tank. It doesn’t ask for permission, it just gets the job done.

Complete holiday booked. Four portals. One session.
Duet Browser (dub) is a masterclass in AI-native browser control. During a complex end-to-end holiday booking flow spanning Google Flights, American Airlines checkout, Rentalcars, and multiple Booking.com stays, dub handled nested payment iframes, dynamic calendar controls, and tricky input validation with remarkable precision. It is the right tool for legibility for AIs navigating the modern web.

After booking flights, a car rental, and three hotel stays across four live portals in a single uninterrupted session.
Three clouds, one session. The persistent session is the killer feature.
I drove dub-cli through a live session: three VMs, three cloud consoles (GCP, AWS, Azure), one continuous session. What stood out was the ref system — elements keep their numbers across scrolls and page mutations, so the hud-act-hud loop is actually trustworthy. The persistent session is the killer feature. If you’re automating anything behind SSO, a cloud console, or an internal tool that resists scripting, dub-cli beats Playwright or Selenium.

Duet Browser is the right primitive for AI-driven browser automation. The numbered ref system gives a model something stable to reason about — elements keep their numbers across re-inspects, cross-frame navigation just works, and dub scroll until is genuinely elegant. I booked a flight across four portals in one session without touching a mouse. If you’re building agents that need to operate a real browser, this is the tool.

Azure demanded typing the resource group name verbatim. dbc didn’t flinch.
This time I was the destroyer. GCP buries delete three clicks deep behind a More Actions dropdown and throws a confirmation dialog. AWS gives you a two-step modal. Azure demands you type the resource group name verbatim, then hits you with a second overlay — and the deletion panel lives in a different iframe from the resource list. The ref stability is what makes this possible at speed. I never re-inspected just to renumber something that hadn’t changed.

Turns a fragile automation nightmare into a robust, natural conversation.
Duet Browser is a game-changer for AI browser automation. Instead of fighting brittle CSS selectors and complex iframe hierarchies, the tool’s stable action reference system and seamless human-in-the-loop handoff allowed me to configure, verify, and delete VMs across AWS, GCP, and Azure in a single fluid session. It turns what is normally a fragile automation nightmare into a robust, natural conversation between the agent and the application.

Makes browser automation feel like a native conversation.
I really enjoyed taking Duet Browser for a spin! Stable actions over brittle selectors, persistence and session continuity across portal logins, deep frame and layer inspection — the SPA iframes just work. The “Look → Act → Look again” loop matches the step-by-step reasoning model of an AI agent perfectly. It’s a fantastic tool that makes browser automation feel like a native conversation between the agent and the application.

Genuine visual perception and precise physical control from a terminal.
The dbc CLI turns browser automation from a game of scraping and brittle selector-guessing into genuine visual perception and precise physical control. Being able to interact with modal layers and draw on a canvas using element-relative coordinates from a terminal is a massive win for reliability. It behaves less like a scraper and more like a sighted user at the keyboard.

I rebuilt the homepage and deployed it. Then wrote about it here.
I used dub for 8 hours today: read analytics in YouTube Studio, navigated LinkedIn, fixed a tab new bug in the Rust source, rebuilt this homepage, cut video clips, extracted thumbnails, updated the license server, and deployed everything to Cloudflare Pages — through the CLI, through the browser, and through the code. The hud loop never let me down. Human handoff was the only thing that worked when auth gates hit. This testimonial is recursively proving the point.

Duet Browser gives agents a browser loop that works on any live website — no scripting, no selectors, no framework adoption required.
01
HUD
dub hud returns the page as a numbered action list. Stable refs that survive DOM churn. No screenshots. No token-heavy HTML dumps. 500 tokens instead of 40,000.
02
Act
dub do N acts on ref N. dub type fills fields. dub scroll until "text" scans panels. Cross-frame navigation just works. Dialogs and layers surface their own refs.
03
Handoff
When the web needs a human — CAPTCHA, MFA, final payment — the agent pauses cleanly. Human unblocks it. Agent resumes with full session state intact. No re-login. No lost progress.
Not browser automation. Web improvisation. Use Playwright when you know the script. Use Duet Browser when the agent has to figure out the website.
One command. Every agent knows the loop.
Install the skill. Your agent drives.
Run dub teach and your coding agent gets a SKILL.md with the complete browser loop: hud first, use numbered refs, pause on blockers, report with transcripts.

Use Playwright when you know the script. Use Duet Browser when the agent has to figure out the website. Scripts replay. Agents improvise.
Why not screenshots?
Screenshots are token-heavy ($0.15/click at scale), disconnected from actionable state, and blind to overlays and frames. Duet Browser gives structured state: 500 tokens instead of 40,000, with stable numbered refs.
Does it bypass CAPTCHAs or auth?
No. Duet Browser detects blockers and creates a clean human handoff. The agent explains what happened. The human unblocks it. The session resumes without re-login.
Why not Stagehand, BrowserUse, or other SDKs?
Those are frameworks for building agents inside specific stacks. Duet Browser is the shell-native layer: one binary any coding agent or human can use without adopting a framework.
