Pros
  • Runs a real browser under LLM control, with optional persistent profile and logged-in cookies
  • LLM-agnostic: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure, DeepSeek, Ollama all supported
  • Docker setup with built-in VNC viewer for watching the agent work
  • Fully open-source and self-hosted; no per-task fees beyond the LLM
  • Clean Python API
  • Strong role/goal abstractions
  • Active community
  • Hosted platform for deployment
Cons
  • Gradio UI is utilitarian rather than production-grade
  • Inherits browser-use's brittleness on anti-bot and heavy SPA sites
  • Requires local Python or Docker setup; not a hosted product
  • Production observability still maturing
  • Debugging multi-agent flows is hard
