FAQ

What is Nextbrowser?

Nextbrowser is a fully managed AI Browser Agent that automates anything you do in a web browser—no coding or server setup required. Just tell it what you want (“log in to my account, pull down the latest price data, and save it”), click Run, and it handles the rest. Behind the scenes, our smart agent figures out each step, runs it in a secure online browser, and returns the results in whatever format you prefer (spreadsheets, text files, etc.).

Who can use Nextbrowser?

Nextbrowser serves both non-technical and technical audiences:

Knowledge workers & solo professionals (marketers, researchers, analysts, recruiters, QA engineers, founders) who want to offload repetitive web tasks.
AI-native startups building multi-agent workflows via LangChain, n8n, Make, etc.
No-code/RPA teams seeking an enterprise-grade alternative to brittle scripts.

Our goal is to empower anyone—from a one-person shop to large teams—to automate at scale without DevOps overhead.

How do I start using Nextbrowser?

Sign up for a Nextbrowser account and/or grab your API key from the dashboard.
Choose your interface:
• Web UI: chat-style console to describe tasks, launch live sessions, and receive interactive feedback.
• API / SDK: integrate directly from code or workflow tools.
Describe your task in plain English (e.g., “Log in to LinkedIn, scrape the first 50 profiles’ names and titles, and export to CSV”).
Run immediately or attach a one-off/recurring schedule. The browser spins up in the cloud, executes the plan, and stores artifacts automatically.

How do Profiles (login sessions) work?

Persistent profiles retain cookies, local storage, and other session data across runs—perfect for reusing authenticated logins (e.g., LinkedIn, Gmail). For disposable tasks, launch a one-time stateless session that starts clean each run.

Can I schedule recurring tasks?

Yes. The built-in Task Scheduler lets you run any task once or on a cron/interval schedule (daily, weekly, custom). Adjust schedules for complex cadences such as “every business day at 9 AM” or “first Monday of each month.”

How long does a typical task take?

Duration depends on complexity, pages, and data volume. Most straightforward scrapes or form-fill workflows finish in seconds to a few minutes. Exact timing is shown step-by-step in the execution logs and session summary.

Can I monitor tasks in real time?

Absolutely. Live Session View streams the cloud browser’s viewport and action logs while the task runs. Pause, resume, or take manual control mid-run, and replay every interaction for auditing or debugging.

What happens if a step fails or errors out?

Self-healing retries for common selector or navigation failures.
AI-driven corrections: ask the agent to suggest an updated plan if something breaks.
Manual intervention: jump into Live View, fix the flow, then hand control back to the AI.

Is there an API or developer interface?

Yes—Nextbrowser provides a full REST API plus Node.js & Python SDKs to create tasks, fetch results, manage profiles, and set schedules. You can even attach custom tooling via a single-line Chrome DevTools Protocol URL.

How secure is Nextbrowser?

Anti-detect: secure fingerprint profiles with canvas/WebGL spoofing and device emulation.
Proxy management: integrated residential/mobile proxy pools with location/ISP targeting.
Data isolation & encryption: each user’s sessions and results are siloed and encrypted at rest.
CAPTCHA handling: automatic solving for reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, and Cloudflare challenges.

Are sources or scraped data recorded?

Structured outputs: JSON, CSV, Markdown, or tables.
Raw artifacts: HTML dumps.
