Steel.dev

Steel.dev is an AI-native browser infrastructure platform that enables developers to build browser automation, AI agents, and web-based workflows without managing browser infrastructure themselves. Instead of maintaining headless browser fleets, proxies, CAPTCHA solvers, and session management, Steel.dev provides a cloud-based browser API purpose-built for AI applications. The platform is designed for AI developers, automation engineers, SaaS companies, startups, and enterprises building AI agents, browser automation tools, customer support assistants, research agents, and large-scale web automation systems. Its managed browser infrastructure allows developers to focus on building intelligent applications rather than maintaining complex browser environments.

The platform provides cloud-hosted browser sessions with full Chrome compatibility, allowing AI agents to browse websites, fill forms, solve CAPTCHAs, authenticate users, extract structured data, generate screenshots, and automate complex web workflows. Developers can connect using Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) while benefiting from built-in proxy management, persistent sessions, JavaScript rendering, and anti-bot capabilities. Steel.dev offers browser automation APIs, cloud browser infrastructure, session management, proxy support, CAPTCHA solving, browser fingerprinting, developer SDKs, and seamless integrations with Browser Use, OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, and other AI agent frameworks. The platform also supports self-hosting through its open-source browser engine, enabling organizations to deploy browser infrastructure within their own environments when required.

Steel.dev helps organizations deploy reliable browser automation at scale while dramatically reducing the engineering effort required to manage browser infrastructure. Whether building AI shopping assistants, autonomous research agents, web scraping platforms, robotic process automation (RPA), QA automation, or enterprise browser-based workflows, developers can create production-ready solutions with minimal operational overhead. Its combination of managed cloud infrastructure and open-source browser technology makes Steel.dev a flexible choice for startups and enterprise engineering teams alike. And the best part? Steel.dev offers a Free Forever plan, allowing developers to start building without upfront costs, while paid plans provide additional browser hours, concurrency, enterprise security, and dedicated support.
