About Browser User
Browser Use was founded in 2024 by Magnus Müller and Gregor Zunich as part of the ETH Student Project House accelerator. The startup tackles the problems with website navigation for LLM models.
Most automation solutions rely on computer vision and screenshot navigation, which the startup says makes them slow, expensive, and often error-prone. Browser Use, which began as an experimental project, has developed technology that converts website interfaces into a text format.
Unlike most existing solutions, this allows LLM models to interact with elements such as buttons, lists, and input fields faster and more accurately - without the errors typical of pixel analysis.
The startup believes that in the coming years, automated AI agents will perform more online tasks than humans. Browser Use aims to create an infrastructure that enables this transition.
