## Model Gateway
-Templates use the Model Gateway to route LLM requests -- you only need your `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY`. No separate OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API keys required. Supported models include OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google (Gemini).
+Stagehand primitives use the Browserbase Model Gateway, so they need only `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY`. Bring-your-own-agent templates also use Vercel AI Gateway for the outer agent loop and require `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`; no provider-specific OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key is required.
-> **Note**: CUA (Computer Use Agent) models are not yet supported through the Model Gateway. Templates using CUA models still require a separate model provider API key.
+> **Stagehand V4 note**: V4 does not expose the V3 `agent()` orchestration API. TypeScript agent templates use Vercel AI SDK with Stagehand's `code_execute` tool. Python agent templates use LangChain Deep Agents with Stagehand's `run`, `snapshot`, and `screenshot` tools. Other templates call V4 browser primitives directly.

# Stagehand + Browserbase: Hacker News Automation
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
+
## AT A GLANCE
-- Goal: Demonstrate Stagehand's core browser automation features through a complete Hacker News workflow.
-- Comprehensive Example: Shows navigate, observe, act, extract, and execute (autonomous agent) in a single workflow.
-- Real-world Scenario: Navigates to Hacker News, clicks on top post comments, extracts structured data, and uses an autonomous agent to find the newest post.
-- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v3/sdk/go
+- Goal: demonstrate Stagehand V4's core browser automation primitives through a complete Hacker News workflow.
+- Complete workflow: launch a Browserbase browser, attach Stagehand, navigate, observe, act, and extract typed data.
+- Real-world outcome: open the top story's comments, extract its first comment, then extract the newest visible story.
+- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v4/first-steps/quickstart
## GLOSSARY
-- navigate: Load a web page in the browser session
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v3/references/page
-- observe: Analyze page elements and generate actionable steps based on natural language instructions
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v3/basics/observe
-- act: Execute actions on web pages using natural language instructions
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v3/basics/act
-- extract: Extract structured data from pages using JSON schema definitions
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v3/basics/extract
-- execute: Run an autonomous agent to complete multi-step tasks automatically
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v3/basics/act
+- `LaunchBrowserbase`: create a Browserbase browser owned by the application.
+- `Create`: attach Stagehand V4 to that browser.
+- `Observe`: find possible page actions from a natural-language instruction.
+- `Act`: execute either an observed action or a natural-language instruction.
+- `Extract`: return typed structured data together with result metadata.
## QUICKSTART
-1. Ensure Go 1.22+ is installed (`go version`)
-2. Set required environment variables:
- ```bash
- export BROWSERBASE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
- export MODEL_API_KEY="your-model-api-key"
- ```
-3. Run the example:
- ```bash
- go run main.go
- ```
+1. Install Go 1.26 or newer (`go version`).
+2. Set `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` in your environment.
+3. Run `go mod download`.
+4. Run `go run .`.
+
+The V4 Go SDK is temporarily pinned to an exact Stagehand source commit. Replace it with the published V4 Go module once that package is released.
## EXPECTED OUTPUT
-- Session initialization with Browserbase
-- Navigation to Hacker News homepage
-- Observation of page to find comment links for the top post
-- Action execution to click on the comment link
-- Structured data extraction (title, top comment, author)
-- Autonomous agent execution to navigate back and find the newest post
-- Session cleanup and termination
-- Live session recording link displayed in console
+- Launches a real Browserbase browser and attaches Stagehand V4.
+- Navigates to Hacker News and verifies the main-document HTTP response.
+- Observes and opens the comments link for the top-ranked story.
+- Extracts the story title, first comment, and commenter.
+- Navigates to `/newest` and extracts the newest story title.
+- Explicitly closes Stagehand before closing the browser.
## COMMON PITFALLS
-- Missing Go installation: Ensure Go 1.22+ is installed (`go version`)
-- Missing environment variables: Verify BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and MODEL_API_KEY are set
-- Module not found: Run `go mod download` if dependencies aren't resolved
-- Network issues: Check internet connection and website accessibility
-- Session errors: Verify API keys are valid in Browserbase dashboard
-- Find more information on your Browserbase dashboard -> https://www.browserbase.com/sign-in
+- Missing Go installation: ensure Go 1.26+ is installed.
+- Missing credentials: verify `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` is set.
+- Module not found: run `go mod download` if dependencies are not resolved.
+- No `MODEL_API_KEY` is needed: Stagehand primitives use Browserbase Model Gateway.
+- Stagehand V4 does not expose an agent API. Bring your own agent framework when orchestration is required.
## USE CASES
-• Content aggregation: Automate data extraction from news sites, forums, and social platforms for monitoring and analysis.
-• Research automation: Collect structured information from multiple pages using autonomous agents for competitive intelligence.
-• Testing workflows: Validate web interactions, form submissions, and navigation flows across different pages.
-• Data scraping: Extract structured data from dynamic websites that require JavaScript execution and user interactions.
+- Content aggregation: extract structured records from news sites, forums, and social platforms.
+- Research automation: combine deterministic navigation with AI-guided actions and typed extraction.
+- Content automation: combine page interaction and structured extraction in a real cloud browser.
## NEXT STEPS
-• Add error handling: Implement retry logic for failed actions and better error messages for debugging.
-• Extend extraction schema: Add more fields to extract (upvotes, comment count, post date, etc.).
-• Multi-page workflows: Chain multiple navigations and extractions to build comprehensive data collection pipelines.
-• Customize agent instructions: Modify the execute instruction to perform different tasks (e.g., find posts by keyword, filter by score).
+- Add retries for transient site or model failures.
+- Extend the extraction types with points, comment count, and post age.
+- Add an external Go agent framework if the workflow needs autonomous planning.

# Amazon Global Price Comparison
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
+
## AT A GLANCE
- **Goal**: Compare Amazon product prices across multiple countries using geolocation proxies.
@@ -7,16 +9,16 @@
- **Workflow**: Creates Browserbase sessions with geolocation proxies for each country, navigates to Amazon, searches for products, and extracts structured pricing data using Stagehand's AI-powered extraction.
- **Concurrent Processing**: Runs all country searches in parallel using `asyncio.gather()` for faster execution.
- **Structured Extraction**: Uses Pydantic schemas to extract consistent product data (name, price, rating, reviews) across different Amazon regions.

# Stagehand + Browserbase: Basic Caching
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.

## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: Demonstrate how Stagehand's caching feature dramatically reduces cost and latency by reusing previously computed actions instead of calling the LLM every time.
- Shows side-by-side comparison of workflows with and without caching enabled.
- Demonstrates massive cost savings for repeated workflows (99.9% reduction in LLM calls).

-# Stagehand + Browserbase: Business Lookup with Agent
+# Business lookup with a Python agent
-## AT A GLANCE
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
-- Goal: Automate business registry searches using an autonomous AI agent with computer-use capabilities.
-- Uses Stagehand Agent in CUA mode to navigate complex UI elements, apply filters, and extract structured business data.
-- Demonstrates extraction with Pydantic schema validation for consistent data retrieval.
-- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
+This template uses LangChain Deep Agents for the reasoning loop and Stagehand V4 code mode for the
+browser. The agent opens San Francisco's official Open Data API, finds an exact DBA record, and
+returns a validated Pydantic object.
-## GLOSSARY
+## How it works
-- agent: create an autonomous AI agent that can execute complex multi-step tasks
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent#what-is-agent
-- extract: extract structured data from web pages using natural language instructions
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
+- `create_deep_agent` owns planning, model calls, and structured output.
+- Stagehand code mode exposes one persistent Browserbase session through `run`, `snapshot`, and
+ `screenshot` MCP tools.
+- Vercel AI Gateway supplies the bring-your-own agent model.
+- The Stagehand MCP server runs in an isolated `uvx` environment because the current Stagehand and
+ Deep Agents clients require different `websockets` versions.
+- The template closes the MCP session and browser process automatically.
-## QUICKSTART
+## Quickstart
-1. uv venv venv
-2. source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
-3. uvx install stagehand python-dotenv pydantic
-4. cp .env.example .env # Add required API keys/IDs to .env
-5. python main.py
+Requirements: Python 3.11–3.13 and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/).
-## EXPECTED OUTPUT
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# Add BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY to .env.
+uv sync
+uv run python main.py
+```
-- Initializes Stagehand session with Browserbase
-- Displays live session link for monitoring
-- Navigates to SF Business Registry search page
-- Agent searches for business using DBA Name filter
-- Agent completes search and opens business details
-- Extracts structured business information (DBA Name, Account Number, NAICS Code, etc.)
-- Outputs extracted data as JSON
-- Closes session cleanly
+The first run installs the Stagehand Deep Agents integration from `stagehand/main` in `uvx`; the
+integration pins its Stagehand server dependency to `stagehand==4.0.0`.
-## COMMON PITFALLS
+## Expected outcome
-- "ModuleNotFoundError": ensure all dependencies are installed via pip
-- Missing credentials: verify .env contains BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and GOOGLE_API_KEY
-- Google API access: ensure you have access to Google's gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview-10-2025 model
-- Agent failures: check that the business name exists in the registry and that max_steps is sufficient for complex searches
-- Import errors: activate your virtual environment if you created one
-- Find more information on your Browserbase dashboard -> https://www.browserbase.com/sign-in
+The agent opens the official SF Open Data JSON endpoint and returns the exact Jalebi Street record,
+including its business account number, location ID, address, NAICS data when present, and the
+official source URL. The script exits nonzero if the returned DBA or evidence source does not match.
-## USE CASES
+## Configuration
-• Business verification: Automate registration status checks, license validation, and compliance verification for multiple businesses.
-• Data enrichment: Collect structured business metadata (NAICS codes, addresses, ownership) for research or CRM updates.
-• Due diligence: Streamline background checks by autonomously searching and extracting business registration details from public registries.
+- `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY`: launches the Browserbase session.
+- `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`: authenticates the Deep Agents model through Vercel AI Gateway.
+- `DEEPAGENTS_MODEL`: optional model override; defaults to `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6`.
+- `STAGEHAND_RUN_TIMEOUT_MS`: optional browser-tool timeout; defaults to 120 seconds.
-## NEXT STEPS
+## Resources
-• Parameterize search: Accept business names as command-line arguments or from a CSV file for batch processing.
-• Expand extraction: Add support for additional fields like tax status, licenses, or historical registration changes.
-• Multi-registry support: Extend agent to search across multiple city or state business registries with routing logic.

# Stagehand + Browserbase: Cerebras Documentation Checker
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
+
## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: Crawl any documentation site, discover its source repo, and verify docs accuracy against the actual codebase using Cerebras LLMs.
-- Parallel browser workers crawl docs pages and extract accessibility trees via Stagehand BYOB (Bring Your Own Browser).
-- Cerebras-powered verification agent uses tool calling to grep and read source code, cross-referencing every function, parameter, and code example.
+- Parallel Browserbase workers crawl docs pages and capture Playwright accessibility snapshots.
+- A Deep Agents verification agent uses Cerebras for planning and Stagehand V4 code-mode browser tools for fallback research, while local code tools cross-reference functions, parameters, and examples.
- Falls back to content-only analysis when no source repository is found.
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev
## GLOSSARY
-- extract: pull structured data or the accessibility tree from a page without LLM cost
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
-- execute: run a multi-step Stagehand agent with an instruction and step limit
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
-- BYOB (Bring Your Own Browser): connect Playwright directly to a Browserbase session for low-level control
- Docs → https://docs.browserbase.com
+- snapshot: capture the current page's structured accessibility representation.
+- code mode: Stagehand's `snapshot`, `run`, and `screenshot` tools, exposed to a bring-your-own Deep Agents loop over MCP.
+- Deep Agents: the external agent framework; Stagehand V4 does not expose `stagehand.agent()`.
## QUICKSTART
-1. uv sync && playwright install chromium
+1. uv sync
2. cp .env.example .env # Add your CEREBRAS_API_KEY and BROWSERBASE_API_KEY
3. uv run python main.py https://your-docs-site.com
@@ -49,12 +48,12 @@
## NEXT STEPS
- Add JSON export: Extend the output to include a machine-readable JSON issues file for downstream tooling.
-- Configurable models: Support switching between Cerebras models (llama-3.3-70b for speed, qwen-3-235b for precision) via CLI flags.
+- Configurable models: Set `CEREBRAS_MODEL` to any model available to your Cerebras account; the template defaults to `gpt-oss-120b`.
- Incremental checks: Cache previously verified pages and only re-check pages whose content has changed.

-# Stagehand + Browserbase: Company Address Finder
+# Company address finder with Python agents
-## AT A GLANCE
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
-- Goal: Automate discovery of company legal information and physical addresses from Terms of Service and Privacy Policy pages.
-- CUA Agent: Uses autonomous computer-use agent to search for company homepages via Google and navigate to legal documents.
-- Data Extraction: Extracts structured data including homepage URLs, ToS/Privacy Policy links, and physical mailing addresses.
-- Fallback Strategy: Intelligently falls back from Terms of Service to Privacy Policy if address is not found.
-- Retry Logic: Built-in exponential backoff for reliability against network failures.
-- Scalable: Supports both sequential and concurrent processing (concurrent requires Startup/Developer plan or higher).
+This template gives one LangChain Deep Agent at a time a persistent Stagehand V4 browser. Each
+agent finds a company's official homepage and legal pages, then returns a validated physical
+mailing address when the company publishes one.
-## GLOSSARY
+## How it works
-- agent: autonomous AI agent with computer-use capabilities that can navigate websites like a human
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
-- extract: pull structured data from web pages using natural language instructions and Pydantic schemas
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
-- CUA (Computer Use Agent): agent mode that enables full browser interaction (search, click, scroll, type)
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent#what-is-cua-mode
-- concurrent sessions: run multiple browser sessions simultaneously for faster batch processing
- Docs → https://docs.browserbase.com/guides/concurrency-rate-limits
-- exponential backoff: retry strategy that increases wait time between attempts for reliability
+- `create_deep_agent` owns planning, model calls, and Pydantic structured output.
+- Stagehand code mode exposes `run`, `snapshot`, and `screenshot` over a stateful MCP session.
+- Vercel AI Gateway supplies the bring-your-own agent model.
+- Each company gets a separate Browserbase session; `MAX_CONCURRENT` controls the batch size.
+- The Stagehand server runs in an isolated `uvx` environment to keep its dependencies separate
+ from the Deep Agents client.
-## QUICKSTART
+## Quickstart
-1. uv venv venv
-2. source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
-3. uvx install stagehand python-dotenv pydantic
-4. cp .env.example .env # Add your Browserbase API key and Google Generative AI API key to .env
-5. Edit COMPANY_NAMES array in main.py to specify which companies to process
-6. python main.py
+Requirements: Python 3.11–3.13 and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/).
-## EXPECTED OUTPUT
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# Add BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY to .env.
+uv sync
+uv run python main.py
+```
-- Initializes browser session for each company with live view link
-- Agent navigates to Google and searches for company homepage
-- Extracts Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links from homepage
-- Navigates to Terms of Service and extracts physical address
-- Falls back to Privacy Policy if address not found in ToS
-- Outputs comprehensive JSON with all extracted data for each company
-- Displays processing status and session closure for each company
+Edit `COMPANY_NAMES` in `main.py` to change the batch. Keep `MAX_CONCURRENT = 1` unless your
+Browserbase plan supports enough simultaneous sessions.
-## COMMON PITFALLS
+The first run installs the Stagehand Deep Agents integration from `stagehand/main` in `uvx`; the
+integration pins its Stagehand server dependency to `stagehand==4.0.0`.
-- Missing credentials: verify .env contains BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY (or GOOGLE_API_KEY)
-- Google API access: ensure you have access to gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview-10-2025 model
-- Concurrent processing: MAX_CONCURRENT > 1 requires Browserbase Startup or Developer plan or higher (default is 1 for sequential)
-- Company not found: agent may fail if company name is ambiguous or doesn't have a clear web presence
-- Address extraction: some companies may not list physical addresses in their legal documents
-- Session timeouts: long-running batches may hit 900s timeout (adjust browserbase_session_create_params if needed)
+## Expected outcome
-## USE CASES
+The script processes Browserbase, Mintlify, Wordware, and Reducto. For each company it returns the
+official homepage, Terms and Privacy links when found, and a physical address when published. A
+missing address may be `null`; a per-company browser failure is included in that company's output.
-• Legal compliance research: Collect company addresses and legal document URLs for due diligence, vendor verification, or compliance audits.
-• Business intelligence: Build datasets of company locations and legal information for market research or competitive analysis.
-• Contact data enrichment: Augment CRM or database records with verified physical addresses extracted from official company documents.
-• Multi-company batch processing: Process lists of companies (investors, partners, clients) to gather standardized location data at scale.
+## Configuration
-## NEXT STEPS
+- `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY`: launches each Browserbase session.
+- `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`: authenticates the Deep Agents model through Vercel AI Gateway.
+- `DEEPAGENTS_MODEL`: optional model override; defaults to `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6`.
+- `STAGEHAND_RUN_TIMEOUT_MS`: optional browser-tool timeout; defaults to 120 seconds.
-• Parameterize inputs: Accept company names from CSV files, command-line arguments, or API endpoints for dynamic batch processing.
-• Expand extraction: Add support for additional fields like contact emails, phone numbers, business registration numbers, or founding dates.
-• Multi-source validation: Cross-reference addresses from multiple pages (About, Contact, Footer) to improve accuracy and confidence.
-• Export formats: Add CSV, Excel, or database export options with configurable field mappings for downstream integrations.
-• Error handling: Implement more granular error categorization (not found vs. no address vs. extraction failure) for better reporting.

## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: Automatically extract and format website value propositions into concise one-liners for email personalization
- Demonstrates Stagehand's `extract` method with Pydantic schemas to pull structured data from landing pages
-- Shows direct OpenAI API usage to transform extracted content with custom prompts
-- Includes placeholder page detection and validation logic to filter out non-functional sites

- Stagehand initializes and creates a Browserbase session
-- Displays live session link for monitoring
- Navigates to target domain and waits for page load
-- Checks for placeholder pages via meta tag inspection
- Extracts value proposition from landing page using AI
-- Validates extracted content against placeholder patterns
- Generates formatted one-liner via LLM (constraints: 9 words max, starts with "your")
- Prints generated one-liner to console
- Closes browser session

## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: automate extraction of Philadelphia Council events for 2025 from the official calendar.
- Flow: navigate to phila.legistar.com → click calendar → select 2025 → extract event data (name, date, time).
- Benefits: quickly gather upcoming council events without manual browsing, structured data ready for analysis or notifications.
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v3/first-steps/introduction
+ Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v4/first-steps/introduction
## GLOSSARY
- act: perform UI actions from a prompt (click, select, navigate).
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/act
+ Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v4/basics/act
- extract: pull structured data from a page using AI and Pydantic schemas.
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract

-# Stagehand + Browserbase + Exa: Intelligent Job Application Automation
+# Stagehand + Browserbase + Exa: Review Job Applications
+
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
## AT A GLANCE
-- **Goal**: Automate job applications with AI that writes smart, tailored responses for each role.
-- **Pattern Template**: Shows how to combine Exa (find companies & jobs) + Browserbase (control browser) + Stagehand Agent (fill forms smartly).
-- **Workflow**: Exa finds companies you want, then finds their careers pages. Browserbase opens the page, Stagehand reads the job posting, and an AI agent fills out the application form with answers tailored to that specific job.
-- **Plans**: Sequential mode works on all plans; concurrent applications and proxies require Startup or Developer plan or higher ([concurrency](https://docs.browserbase.com/guides/concurrency-rate-limits), [proxies](https://docs.browserbase.com/features/proxies)).
-- Docs → [Stagehand Agent](https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent) | [Exa Search](https://docs.exa.ai/reference/search) | [Stagehand Extract](https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract)
+- **Goal**: Discover live jobs, extract structured role details, and prepare applications for human review.
+- **Pattern**: Exa finds direct careers or ATS pages; Stagehand V4 uses `act`, `extract`, and `observe` to inspect and fill them.
+- **Safety**: Fills only non-empty supplied applicant values, uploads a test résumé when requested, and never submits.
+- **Plans**: Sequential mode works on all plans. Bounded concurrency is opt-in and requires sufficient Browserbase concurrency.
+- Docs → [Stagehand V4](https://docs.stagehand.dev/v4/first-steps/introduction) | [Stagehand Python](https://docs.stagehand.dev/v4/sdk/python) | [Exa Search](https://docs.exa.ai/reference/search)
## THE 5-STEP FLOW
-1. **Search for companies** — Exa finds companies matching your criteria (e.g., "AI startups in SF")
-2. **Find careers pages** — For each company, Exa searches for their careers/jobs page
-3. **Extract job details** — Stagehand reads the job posting and extracts structured data (title, requirements, responsibilities)
-4. **Smart form filling** — AI agent fills out application fields with tailored responses based on the job description
-5. **Resume upload** — Playwright handles file uploads for resume/CV attachments
-
-## GLOSSARY
+1. **Discover jobs** — one focused Exa search returns a small ranked set of direct company careers or recognized ATS pages.
+2. **Inspect a role** — `act()` opens one live role and `extract()` returns its title, requirements, and responsibilities.
+3. **Inspect the application** — `act()` opens the form and `observe()` inventories its fields.
+4. **Prepare for review** — `act()` fills matching non-empty applicant values; the exact file input uploads the résumé.
+5. **Report, do not submit** — a final `extract()` summarizes the review and the required fields that remain.
-- **agent**: An AI that can plan and do multi-step tasks on its own. It looks at the page and decides what to do next without needing step-by-step instructions.
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
-- **extract**: Pull structured data from web pages. You define what you want (job title, requirements, etc.) and it returns clean JSON.
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
-- **Exa Search**: AI search engine that finds relevant web content. Can search for companies, find similar pages, and filter by date.
- Docs → https://docs.exa.ai/reference/search
-- **Tailored responses**: The AI reads the job requirements and writes custom answers for cover letters and open-ended questions that highlight relevant skills.
+Direct page methods are limited to exact navigation, résumé upload, and session lifecycle. They do not replace Stagehand's primary interaction primitives.
## QUICKSTART
-1. cd exa-browserbase
-2. uv pip install -e .
-3. playwright install chromium
-4. cp .env.example .env
-5. Add required API keys to .env:
- - `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` — from Browserbase
- - `EXA_API_KEY` — from https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys
-6. Update `APPLICATION_DETAILS` dict in main.py with candidate information
-7. Update `resume_path` to point to your PDF resume
-8. uv run python main.py
-
-## EXPECTED OUTPUT
-
-- Uses your exact info for name, email, phone
-- Writes custom answers for open-ended questions
-- Creates a tailored cover letter based on the job
-- Handles location and visa questions smartly
-- Stops before submitting (for testing/review purposes)
-- Closes session cleanly
+1. `cd exa-browserbase`
+2. `uv sync`
+3. `cp .env.example .env`
+4. Add `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` and `EXA_API_KEY` to `.env`.
+5. Replace the synthetic `APPLICANT` and `Dummy_CV.pdf` with your test data.
+6. `uv run python main.py`
+
+The default run reviews one application sequentially, trying up to three ranked candidates when an earlier live result has no usable form. For a small, repeatable smoke run, set `COMPANY_QUERY=Browserbase NUM_COMPANIES=1`.
+
+Set `NUM_COMPANIES` to review more candidates. Set `CONCURRENT=true MAX_CONCURRENT_BROWSERS=2` to opt into bounded concurrent sessions.
+
+## RESULT CONTRACT
+
+- A run succeeds when it reaches at least one real application and returns a review.
+- `fields_attempted` lists the fields whose Stagehand actions reported success; it is intentionally not a claim that every ATS persisted every value.
+- `resume_uploaded` reports that the deterministic file-upload command completed without throwing; persistence is left to external E2E validation.
+- Null, empty, absent, or ambiguous fields remain outstanding instead of being invented or treated as infrastructure failures.
+- The final submit button is never clicked.

-# Stagehand + Browserbase: Computer Use Agent (CUA) Example
+# Gemini browser agent with Stagehand V4
-## AT A GLANCE
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
-- Goal: demonstrate autonomous web browsing using Google's Computer Use Agent with Stagehand and Browserbase.
-- Uses Stagehand Agent to automate complex workflows with AI powered browser agents
-- Leverages Google's gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview model for autonomous web interaction and decision-making.
+This template pairs a bring-your-own Gemini model with LangChain Deep Agents and Stagehand V4 code
+mode. The agent opens the live Stagehand introduction, summarizes it, and cites only the URL it
+opened in the browser.
-## GLOSSARY
+## How it works
-- agent: create an autonomous AI agent that can execute complex multi-step tasks
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent#what-is-agent
+- `create_deep_agent` owns the Gemini reasoning and tool loop.
+- Stagehand code mode exposes one persistent Browserbase session through `run`, `snapshot`, and
+ `screenshot` MCP tools.
+- Vercel AI Gateway provides the Gemini model through its OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
+- Closing the MCP session shuts down the Stagehand client and Browserbase browser.
-## QUICKSTART
+## Quickstart
-1. uv venv venv
-2. source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
-3. pip install -r requirements.txt
-4. cp .env.example .env # Add your Browserbase API key and Google API key to .env
-5. python main.py
+Requirements: Python 3.11–3.13 and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/).
-## EXPECTED OUTPUT
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# Add BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY to .env.
+uv sync
+uv run python main.py
+```
-- Initializes Stagehand session with Browserbase
-- Navigates to Google search engine
-- Executes autonomous search and data extraction task
-- Displays live session link for monitoring
-- Returns structured results or completion status
-- Closes session cleanly
+The first run installs the pinned Stagehand Deep Agents integration in `uvx`; the integration pins
+its Stagehand server dependency to `stagehand==4.0.0`.
-## COMMON PITFALLS
+## Expected outcome
-- "ModuleNotFoundError": ensure all dependencies are installed via pip
-- Missing credentials: verify .env contains BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and GOOGLE_API_KEY
-- Google API access: ensure you have access to Google's gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview model
-- Import errors: activate your virtual environment if you created one
+The agent returns a concise description of Stagehand with the live documentation URL it opened
+directly. The script exits nonzero when the answer is empty or omits that source URL.
-## USE CASES
+## Configuration
-• Autonomous research: Let AI agents independently research topics, gather information, and compile reports without manual intervention.
-• Complex web workflows: Automate multi-step processes that require decision-making, form filling, and data extraction across multiple pages.
-• Content discovery: Search for specific information, verify data accuracy, and cross-reference sources autonomously.
+- `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY`: launches the Browserbase session.
+- `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`: authenticates Gemini through Vercel AI Gateway.
+- `DEEPAGENTS_MODEL`: optional model override; defaults to `google/gemini-3-flash-preview`.
+- `STAGEHAND_RUN_TIMEOUT_MS`: optional browser-tool timeout; defaults to 120 seconds.
-## NEXT STEPS
+## Resources
-• Customize instructions: Modify the instruction variable to test different autonomous tasks and scenarios.
-• Add error handling: Implement retry logic, fallback strategies, and better error recovery for failed agent actions.
-• Extend capabilities: Add support for file downloads, form submissions, and more complex interaction patterns.

# Stagehand + Browserbase: Google Trends Keywords Extractor
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
+
## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: Extract trending search keywords from Google Trends for any country with structured JSON output.
- Configurable by country code (US, GB, IN, DE, etc.) and language preference.
- Uses JSON schema validation for consistent, typed data extraction.

# Stagehand + Browserbase: Image URL Download
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
+
## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: extract all image URLs from a page with Stagehand and download each image through the browser's direct connection.
-- Browser-context downloads: `context.request.get()` sends requests through the Playwright browser context — no special proxy configuration needed. It automatically inherits any active Browserbase proxy and session cookies, so you get the same image the browser sees, even for auth-gated or same-origin-only URLs (e.g. Next.js `/_next/image`).
+- Browser-context downloads: `fetch()` runs through the Stagehand V4 page so it inherits the Browserbase proxy and session cookies; `httpx` is a fallback for public images blocked by browser CORS.
- AI-powered URL extraction: uses `extract()` with a JSON schema to reliably pull `![]()
` src attributes and background image URLs from any page.
- Format-agnostic: uses the `Content-Type` response header to detect the real MIME type — files are saved with the correct extension (`.jpg`, `.png`, `.svg`, `.webp`, etc.).
- Organized output: images are saved to `./images//` so runs against different sites never mix.
-- Why Playwright is used alongside Stagehand: this template connects both Stagehand and Playwright to the **same** Browserbase session via CDP. The TypeScript SDK exposes `stagehand.context.pages()[0]` for direct Playwright access, but the Python SDK does not. Playwright is added here for reliable navigation waits (`page.goto(wait_until="networkidle")` blocks until the page is fully rendered, unlike the Python SDK's non-blocking `sessions.navigate()`) and proxy-aware downloads (`context.request.get()` inherits the browser context's proxy and cookies, avoiding 403s that a plain `httpx` call would get on auth-gated URLs).
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
+- V4 page access: the Python SDK exposes the active Stagehand page directly for navigation and same-session asset fetches; URL discovery remains an `extract()` operation.

-- context.request.get: make an HTTP request through the Playwright browser context — inherits the Browserbase proxy, cookies, and session headers. Used here instead of in-browser `fetch()` because the Python Stagehand SDK does not expose `page.evaluate()` directly.
- Docs → https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-apirequestcontext
-- IMAGE_URL_SCHEMA: plain dict JSON schema passed to `extract()`. Uses `"format": "uri"` on array items — the Python equivalent of `z.string().url()` in the TypeScript template — which signals to the model to return actual URL strings.

• Concurrent downloads: fan out the `context.request.get()` calls with `asyncio.gather()` for faster bulk downloads.
• Metadata CSV: write a `manifest.csv` alongside the images recording original URL, filename, MIME type, byte size, and download timestamp.
• Extend MIME support: add entries to the `MIME_TO_EXT` dict at the top of `main.py` for any formats not already covered.

-## AT A GLANCE
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
-- Goal: Automate job applications by discovering job listings and submitting applications with unique agent identifiers.
-- Concurrent Processing: applies to multiple jobs in parallel with configurable concurrency limits based on Browserbase project settings.
-- Dynamic Data Generation: generates unique agent IDs and email addresses for each application.
-- File Upload Support: automatically uploads resume PDF from a remote URL during the application process.
-- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
+This template uses Stagehand V4 to discover every role on a public test job board, fill each application with unique test data, upload a PDF resume, and submit it.
-## GLOSSARY
+## Run
-- agent: create an autonomous AI agent that can execute complex multi-step tasks
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent#what-is-agent
-- act: perform UI actions from a prompt (click, type, fill forms)
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/act
-- extract: extract structured data from web pages using natural language instructions
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
-- observe: analyze a page and return selectors or action plans before executing
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/observe
-- asyncio.Semaphore: concurrency control mechanism to limit parallel job applications based on project limits
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+uv sync
+uv run python main.py
+```
-## QUICKSTART
+Set `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` in `.env`. `MAX_CONCURRENCY` defaults to `2`; set `MAX_JOBS` to a positive number when you want a bounded test run.
-1. uv venv venv
-2. source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
-3. uvx install stagehand browserbase pydantic python-dotenv httpx
-4. cp .env.example .env # Add your Browserbase API key and Project ID to .env (BROWSERBASE_API_KEY, BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID)
-5. python main.py
+Expected output includes the number of discovered jobs, a submission line for every application, and a final completed-submission count. Runtime errors still make the process exit nonzero.
-## EXPECTED OUTPUT
-
-- Fetches project concurrency limit from Browserbase (maxed at 5)
-- Initializes main Stagehand session with Browserbase
-- Displays live session link for monitoring
-- Navigates to agent job board
-- Clicks "View Jobs" button
-- Extracts all job listings with titles and URLs using Pydantic schema validation
-- Closes main session
-- Creates asyncio.Semaphore for concurrency control
-- Applies to all jobs in parallel (respecting concurrency limit)
-- For each job application:
- - Generates unique agent ID and email
- - Navigates to job page
- - Clicks on specific job
- - Fills agent identifier field
- - Fills contact endpoint (email) field
- - Fills deployment region field
- - Uploads resume PDF from remote URL using httpx
- - Selects multi-region deployment option
- - Submits application
-- Displays completion message when all applications are finished
-
-## COMMON PITFALLS
-
-- "ModuleNotFoundError": ensure all dependencies are installed via uvx install
-- Missing credentials: verify .env contains BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID and BROWSERBASE_API_KEY
-- Concurrency limits: script automatically respects Browserbase project concurrency (capped at 5)
-- Resume URL: ensure the resume URL (https://agent-job-board.vercel.app/Agent%20Resume.pdf) is accessible
-- Job detection: verify that job listings are visible on the page and match expected structure
-- Network issues: check internet connection and website accessibility
-- Import errors: activate your virtual environment if you created one
-- Find more information on your Browserbase dashboard -> https://www.browserbase.com/sign-in
-
-## USE CASES
-
-• Bulk job applications: Automate applying to multiple job postings simultaneously with unique credentials for each application.
-• Agent deployment automation: Streamline the process of deploying multiple AI agents by automating the application and registration workflow.
-• Testing & QA: Validate job application forms and workflows across multiple listings to ensure consistent functionality.
-• Recruitment automation: Scale agent recruitment processes by programmatically submitting applications with generated identifiers.
-
-## NEXT STEPS
-
-• Add filtering: Implement job filtering by title keywords, location, or other criteria before applying.
-• Error handling: Add retry logic for failed applications and better error reporting with job-specific logs.
-• Resume customization: Support multiple resume versions or dynamic resume generation based on job requirements.
-• Application tracking: Store application status, timestamps, and results in a database for tracking and follow-up.
-• Rate limiting: Add delays between applications to avoid overwhelming the target system.
-• Multi-site support: Extend to support multiple job boards with site-specific form field mappings.

# Stagehand + Browserbase: MFA Handling - TOTP Automation
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
+
## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: Automate MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) completion using TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) code generation.
- TOTP Generation: Implements RFC 6238 compliant algorithm to generate time-based authentication codes programmatically.
- Automatic Form Filling: Extracts TOTP secrets from pages and automatically fills MFA forms without user interaction.
- Retry Logic: Handles time window edge cases by regenerating codes and retrying authentication when needed.

+- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v4/basics/act
## GLOSSARY
- act: perform UI actions from a prompt (type, click, fill forms)

# Stagehand + Browserbase: Nurse License Verification
+Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
+
## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: automate verification of nurse licenses by filling forms and extracting structured results from verification sites.
- Flow: loop through license records → navigate to verification site → fill form → search → extract verification results.
- Benefits: quickly verify multiple licenses without manual form filling, structured data ready for compliance tracking or HR systems.
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/act
+ Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v4/basics/act
## GLOSSARY
- act: perform UI actions from a prompt (type, click, fill forms).
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/act
+ Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v4/basics/act
- extract: pull structured data from a page using AI and Pydantic schemas.
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
+ Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v4/basics/extract
- schema: a Pydantic model that enforces data types, optional fields, and validation rules.
Docs → https://docs.pydantic.dev/
- license verification: process of confirming the validity and status of professional licenses.

-# Stagehand + Browserbase: Human-in-the-Loop Agent
+# Stagehand Code Mode + Vercel AI SDK: Human-in-the-Loop Agent
## AT A GLANCE
-- Goal: showcase how to build an AI agent that can pause and ask a human for input mid-task using Stagehand and Browserbase.
-- Interactive Agent Loop: the agent automates browser tasks but can request human guidance when it encounters decisions it can't make alone.
+- Goal: showcase a bring-your-own browser agent that pauses for human input while filling a form.
+- Agent framework: Vercel AI SDK `ToolLoopAgent` owns the reasoning loop and exposes a custom `askHuman` tool.
+- Browser tool: Stagehand code mode exposes one stateful MCP tool, `code_execute`.
+- Interactive loop: the agent calls `askHuman` for missing facts and resumes when the user responds.
- Live Browser View: watch the agent work in real-time through an embedded Browserbase session.
- SSE Streaming: real-time activity log and status updates streamed to the frontend.
Docs → https://docs.browserbase.com/features/sessions
## GLOSSARY
-- agent: an AI-driven Stagehand instance that autonomously performs browser actions and can invoke custom tools
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
-- askHuman: a custom agent tool that pauses execution and sends a question to the user, resuming once a response is provided
+- askHuman: an application-defined AI SDK tool that pauses execution and sends a question to the user, resuming once a response is provided
- session store: an in-memory map coordinating state between the SSE stream and the human response endpoint
-- act: perform UI actions from a prompt (type, click, fill forms)
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/act
-- observe: analyze a page and return selectors or action plans before executing
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/observe
+- code_execute: Stagehand code mode's MCP tool for stateful browser JavaScript, including V4 page APIs and AI primitives
+- ToolLoopAgent: the Vercel AI SDK agent loop that decides when to call `code_execute` or `askHuman`
## QUICKSTART
1. cd agent-with-human-in-loop
-2. npm install
-3. Create a .env file and add your Browserbase credentials:
+2. pnpm install
+3. Create a .env file and add your Browserbase and Vercel AI Gateway credentials:
BROWSERBASE_API_KEY=your-api-key
- BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-api-key
-4. npm run dev
+ AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY=your-ai-gateway-key
+4. pnpm dev
5. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser
## EXPECTED OUTPUT
- A form appears to enter an applicant's name and upload a resume
- On submit, a Browserbase session starts and the live browser view loads
-- The agent navigates to a job application site and begins filling out the form
-- When the agent needs clarification, it pauses and displays a question in the UI
-- You type a response and the agent resumes with your input
+- The agent uses `code_execute` to navigate to a job application and fill known fields
+- When an unknown field is encountered, it pauses and displays a question in the UI
+- You type a response and the workflow continues with that value
+- Closing the MCP client closes Stagehand and its Browserbase browser
+
+## SAFETY
+
+Code mode executes model-authored JavaScript and is not itself a security sandbox. Run it inside an isolation boundary when prompts or pages are untrusted.

## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: scrape the first 3 Amazon search results for a given query and return structured product data.
-- AI-Powered Search: uses Stagehand `act` to type in the search bar and click search (or optionally navigate directly to the search URL).
-- Structured Extraction: uses `extract` with a Zod schema to get product name, price, rating, review count, and product URL.
+- Semantic Search: uses `act()` to find and operate Amazon's current search UI.
+- Structured Results: uses `extract()` with Zod to return and validate product name, price, rating, review count, and URL.
- Model: uses `google/gemini-2.5-flash` for fast, cost-effective automation.
Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev

-- act: perform UI actions from a prompt (type in search bar, click search)
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/act
-- extract: pull structured data from pages using schemas

## NEXT STEPS
-• Switch to direct URL: Uncomment the URL-based search block in index.ts for faster runs without LLM search actions.
+• Parameterize storefront: Accept an Amazon domain or country from CLI/env.
• Parameterize query: Accept SEARCH_QUERY from CLI or env for different products without editing code.
• Paginate: Extend extraction to multiple pages or increase the number of products per run.

## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: Demonstrate how Stagehand's caching feature dramatically reduces cost and latency by reusing previously computed actions instead of calling the LLM every time.
-- Shows side-by-side comparison of workflows with and without caching enabled.
-- Demonstrates massive cost savings for repeated workflows (99.9% reduction in LLM calls).
-- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/v3/best-practices/caching#caching-actions
+- Runs the same observation twice and verifies the second result is a Browserbase Cache hit.
+- Reads cache status and saved-token data from the V4 result metadata.

## BEST PRACTICES
- ✅ Enable caching in production for repeated workflows
-- ✅ One cache per portal/interface type
-- ✅ Invalidate cache when page structure changes significantly
+- ✅ Keep the page environment and instruction stable
+- ✅ Tune `cache.threshold` for the workflow's tolerance for change
- ✅ Monitor cache hit rate to optimize cache effectiveness
- ✅ Warm cache with test runs before production deployment
## NEXT STEPS
-• Customize cache directory: Modify cacheDir to organize caches by workflow type or environment.
-• Add cache invalidation: Implement logic to clear cache when page structure changes or after a certain time period.
-• Monitor cache performance: Track cache hit rates and cost savings to measure effectiveness.
+• Tune the cache threshold per instance or per operation.
+• Scope operations to a stable selector when the surrounding page changes frequently.
+• Monitor `metadata.cache` to measure hit rates and token savings.
## TRY IT YOURSELF
-1. Run this script again: `pnpm start`
- → Second run will be MUCH faster (cache hits)
+1. Change the instruction text and run again to observe a miss followed by a hit.
-2. Clear cache and run again:
- `rm -rf .cache/stagehand-demo && pnpm start`
- → Back to first-run behavior
+2. Change `cache: { threshold: 1 }` to a higher threshold and compare warm-up behavior.
-3. Check cache contents:
- `ls -la .cache/stagehand-demo`
- → See cached action files
+3. Print the complete `metadata.cache` object to inspect miss reasons and token savings.

## EXPECTED OUTPUT
- Searches the web for "best coffee shops in San Francisco" and displays 5 structured results
- Selects the top result and fetches its HTML content with status code, content type, and preview
-- Launches a Stagehand browser agent on Browserbase and prints the session replay URL
-- Navigates to the selected page and autonomously extracts the top 3 recommendations

## COMMON PITFALLS
-- Missing API key: verify .env contains BROWSERBASE_API_KEY — this is the only required credential
-- No separate LLM keys needed: the Model Gateway handles model access through your Browserbase key
+- Missing API key: Browserbase needs `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY`; the outer agent needs `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`
+- No provider-specific key needed: Vercel AI Gateway handles the outer model selected by `AGENT_MODEL`
- Search returns no results: try a different query string — some queries may return empty depending on availability
-- Agent timeout: increase `maxSteps` if the page is complex and the agent needs more interactions
-- Session not closing: the demo uses `try/finally` to ensure `stagehand.close()` runs — always clean up sessions
+- Session not closing: the demo uses `try/finally` to close the MCP client, which closes Stagehand and the browser

## USE CASES
• Building research agents that search, evaluate, and extract from web pages
• Token-efficient web browsing pipelines (cheap Search/Fetch before expensive browser sessions)
-• Autonomous data extraction from any website without writing selectors
+• Agent-driven browsing with deterministic APIs and Stagehand AI primitives available inside `code_execute`
• Prototyping browser agents with the full Browserbase platform
## NEXT STEPS
-• **Customize the query**: change the search query and agent instructions to extract different types of information
-• **Add multi-page navigation**: chain multiple `agent.execute()` calls to browse across several pages
+• **Customize the query**: change the search query and extraction instruction
+• **Add multi-page navigation**: ask the agent to work across pages in the stateful code-mode session
• **Deploy as a Function**: run the agent on Browserbase infrastructure with <5ms browser latency

• **Enable stealth mode**: add `browserSettings: { advancedStealth: true, solveCaptchas: true }` for protected sites
-• **Switch models**: change `model` in the Stagehand constructor to use OpenAI or Google models via the Model Gateway
+• **Switch outer models**: set `AGENT_MODEL` to another Vercel AI Gateway model ID
+
+## SAFETY
+
+Code mode executes model-authored JavaScript and is not itself a security sandbox. Isolate it when prompts or pages are untrusted.

-# Stagehand + Browserbase: Business Lookup with Agent
+# Stagehand Code Mode + Vercel AI SDK: Business Lookup
## AT A GLANCE
-- Goal: Automate business registry searches using an autonomous AI agent with computer-use capabilities.
-- Uses Stagehand Agent in CUA mode to navigate complex UI elements, apply filters, and extract structured business data.
-- Demonstrates extraction with Zod schema validation for consistent data retrieval.
-- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
-
-## GLOSSARY
-
-- agent: create an autonomous AI agent that can execute complex multi-step tasks
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent#what-is-agent
-- extract: extract structured data from web pages using natural language instructions
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
+- Goal: give an external agent a Browserbase browser and have it research one SF business record.
+- Agent framework: Vercel AI SDK `ToolLoopAgent` owns the reasoning loop.
+- Browser tool: Stagehand code mode exposes one stateful MCP tool, `code_execute`.
+- Stagehand is the SDK for browser agents.
## QUICKSTART
-1. npm install
-2. cp .env.example .env
-3. Add required API keys/IDs to .env
-4. npm start
-
-## EXPECTED OUTPUT
+1. `cd business-lookup`
+2. `pnpm install`
+3. Add `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` and `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` to `.env`
+4. `pnpm start`
-- Initializes Stagehand session with Browserbase
-- Displays live session link for monitoring
-- Navigates to SF Business Registry search page
-- Agent searches for business using DBA Name filter
-- Agent completes search and opens business details
-- Extracts structured business information (DBA Name, Account Number, NAICS Code, etc.)
-- Outputs extracted data as JSON
-- Closes session cleanly
+Set `AGENT_MODEL` to override the default `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` outer-agent model.
-## COMMON PITFALLS
-
-- Dependency install errors: ensure npm install completed
-- Missing credentials: verify .env contains BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and GOOGLE_API_KEY
-- Google API access: ensure you have access to Google's gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview-10-2025 model
-- Agent failures: check that the business name exists in the registry and that maxSteps is sufficient for complex searches
-- Find more information on your Browserbase dashboard -> https://www.browserbase.com/sign-in
-
-## USE CASES
+## EXPECTED OUTPUT
-• Business verification: Automate registration status checks, license validation, and compliance verification for multiple businesses.
-• Data enrichment: Collect structured business metadata (NAICS codes, addresses, ownership) for research or CRM updates.
-• Due diligence: Streamline background checks by autonomously searching and extracting business registration details from public registries.
+- The AI SDK starts the packaged Stagehand code-mode MCP over stdio.
+- The agent uses `code_execute` to search the SF business registry.
+- The final result is validated against a Zod schema and printed as JSON.
+- Closing the MCP client closes Stagehand and the Browserbase browser.
-## NEXT STEPS
+## SAFETY
-• Parameterize search: Accept business names as command-line arguments or from a CSV file for batch processing.
-• Expand extraction: Add support for additional fields like tax status, licenses, or historical registration changes.
-• Multi-registry support: Extend agent to search across multiple city or state business registries with routing logic.
+Code mode executes model-authored JavaScript and is not itself a security sandbox. Run it inside an isolation boundary when prompts or pages are untrusted.

-# Stagehand + Browserbase: Company Address Finder
+# Stagehand Code Mode + Vercel AI SDK: Company Address Finder
## AT A GLANCE
-- Goal: Automate discovery of company legal information and physical addresses from Terms of Service and Privacy Policy pages.
-- CUA Agent: Uses autonomous computer-use agent to search for company homepages via Google and navigate to legal documents.
-- Data Extraction: Extracts structured data including homepage URLs, ToS/Privacy Policy links, and physical mailing addresses.
-- Fallback Strategy: Intelligently falls back from Terms of Service to Privacy Policy if address is not found.
-- Retry Logic: Built-in exponential backoff for reliability against network failures.
-- Scalable: Supports both sequential and concurrent processing (concurrent requires Startup/Developer plan or higher).
-
-## GLOSSARY
-
-- agent: autonomous AI agent with computer-use capabilities that can navigate websites like a human
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
-- extract: pull structured data from web pages using natural language instructions and Zod schemas
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
-- CUA (Computer Use Agent): agent mode that enables full browser interaction (search, click, scroll, type)
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent#what-is-cua-mode
-- concurrent sessions: run multiple browser sessions simultaneously for faster batch processing
- Docs → https://docs.browserbase.com/guides/concurrency-rate-limits
-- exponential backoff: retry strategy that increases wait time between attempts for reliability
+- Goal: find official legal pages and physical mailing addresses for a list of companies.
+- Agent framework: one Vercel AI SDK `ToolLoopAgent` per company.
+- Browser tool: each agent receives only Stagehand's stateful `code_execute` MCP tool.
+- Concurrency: increase `MAX_CONCURRENT` only when your Browserbase plan supports it.
## QUICKSTART
-1. cd company-address-finder
-2. npm install
-3. cp .env.example .env
-4. Add your Browserbase API key and Google Generative AI API key to .env
-5. Edit COMPANY_NAMES array in index.ts to specify which companies to process
-6. npm start
+1. `cd company-address-finder`
+2. `pnpm install`
+3. Add `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` and `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` to `.env`
+4. Edit `COMPANY_NAMES` and `MAX_CONCURRENT` in `index.ts`
+5. `pnpm start`
## EXPECTED OUTPUT
-- Initializes browser session for each company with live view link
-- Agent navigates to Google and searches for company homepage
-- Extracts Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links from homepage
-- Navigates to Terms of Service and extracts physical address
-- Falls back to Privacy Policy if address not found in ToS
-- Outputs comprehensive JSON with all extracted data for each company
-- Displays processing status and session closure for each company
-
-## COMMON PITFALLS
-
-- Missing credentials: verify .env contains BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY
-- Google API access: ensure you have access to google/gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview-10-2025 model
-- Concurrent processing: MAX_CONCURRENT > 1 requires Browserbase Startup or Developer plan or higher (default is 1 for sequential)
-- Company not found: agent may fail if company name is ambiguous or doesn't have a clear web presence
-- Address extraction: some companies may not list physical addresses in their legal documents
-- Session timeouts: long-running batches may hit 900s timeout (adjust browserbaseSessionCreateParams if needed)
-
-## USE CASES
-
-• Legal compliance research: Collect company addresses and legal document URLs for due diligence, vendor verification, or compliance audits.
-• Business intelligence: Build datasets of company locations and legal information for market research or competitive analysis.
-• Contact data enrichment: Augment CRM or database records with verified physical addresses extracted from official company documents.
-• Multi-company batch processing: Process lists of companies (investors, partners, clients) to gather standardized location data at scale.
+- Each agent verifies an official homepage, Terms page, and Privacy page.
+- It checks Terms first for an address and falls back to Privacy.
+- Zod validates the final record for each company.
+- Every MCP client is closed, which closes its Stagehand and browser lifecycle.
-## NEXT STEPS
+## SAFETY
-• Parameterize inputs: Accept company names from CSV files, command-line arguments, or API endpoints for dynamic batch processing.
-• Expand extraction: Add support for additional fields like contact emails, phone numbers, business registration numbers, or founding dates.
-• Multi-source validation: Cross-reference addresses from multiple pages (About, Contact, Footer) to improve accuracy and confidence.
-• Export formats: Add CSV, Excel, or database export options with configurable field mappings for downstream integrations.
-• Error handling: Implement more granular error categorization (not found vs. no address vs. extraction failure) for better reporting.
+Code mode executes model-authored JavaScript and is not itself a security sandbox. Use an isolation boundary for untrusted prompts or pages.

-# Stagehand + Browserbase: Dynamic Form Filling with Agent
+# Stagehand Code Mode + Vercel AI SDK: Dynamic Form Filling
## AT A GLANCE
-- Goal: Automate intelligent form filling using an Stagehand AI agent that understands form context and uses semantic matching.
-- Agent-Powered: Uses Stagehand Agent to autonomously fill forms by extracting information from natural language descriptions.
-- Semantic Matching: Agent intelligently selects form options even when exact wording doesn't match, choosing the closest semantic match.
-- Custom Instructions: Demonstrates how to configure agent behavior with system prompts for reliable form completion.
-- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
-
-## GLOSSARY
-
-- agent: create an autonomous AI agent that can execute complex multi-step tasks
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent#what-is-agent
-- semantic matching: selecting form options based on meaning rather than exact text match
-- system prompt: custom instructions that guide agent behavior and decision-making
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent#using-agent
+- Goal: let a bring-your-own agent interpret trip details and complete a dynamic form.
+- Agent framework: Vercel AI SDK `ToolLoopAgent` owns the multi-step loop.
+- Browser tool: Stagehand code mode exposes the single `code_execute` MCP tool.
+- The agent is instructed to inspect before acting and never invent missing values.
## QUICKSTART
-1. pnpm install
-2. cp .env.example .env
-3. Add your Browserbase API key to .env (BROWSERBASE_API_KEY)
-4. Customize the `tripDetails` variable in index.ts with your own form data
-5. Update the form URL if using a different form
-6. pnpm start
+1. `cd dynamic-form-filling`
+2. `pnpm install`
+3. Add `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` and `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` to `.env`
+4. Customize `tripDetails` in `index.ts`
+5. `pnpm start`
## EXPECTED OUTPUT
-- Initializes Stagehand session with Browserbase
-- Displays live session link for monitoring
-- Navigates to the target form
-- Agent analyzes form structure and available fields
-- Agent extracts relevant information from trip details
-- Agent fills form fields using semantic matching for dropdowns/checkboxes
-- Agent submits the form when complete
-- Outputs success status and agent message
-- Closes session cleanly
-
-## COMMON PITFALLS
-
-- Dependency install errors: ensure pnpm install completed
-- Missing credentials: verify .env contains BROWSERBASE_API_KEY
-- Agent stopping early: increase maxSteps (default 30) for complex forms with many fields
-- Form not submitting: verify the form URL is accessible and form fields are visible
-- Semantic matching issues: adjust system prompt to better guide agent's matching behavior
-- Find more information on your Browserbase dashboard -> https://www.browserbase.com/sign-in
-
-## USE CASES
-
-• Dynamic form automation: Fill out forms with variable data from natural language descriptions without hardcoding field mappings.
-• Survey and questionnaire automation: Automatically complete surveys, feedback forms, or registration forms with intelligent option selection.
-• Multi-step form workflows: Handle complex multi-page forms where the agent navigates between steps and maintains context.
-• Form testing and validation: Test form behavior with different data sets to ensure proper validation and error handling.

+- The agent opens the form, maps the supplied trip details to its fields, reviews the result, and submits it.
+- The MCP client closes the Stagehand client and Browserbase browser in `finally`.
+
+## SAFETY
+
+This example submits a form. Use a test form and review the prompt before running. Code mode executes model-authored JavaScript and is not itself a security sandbox.

-# Stagehand + Browserbase + Exa: Intelligent Job Application Automation
+# Stagehand + Browserbase + Exa: Review Job Applications
## AT A GLANCE
-- **Goal**: Automate job applications with AI that writes smart, tailored responses for each role.
-- **Pattern Template**: Shows how to combine Exa (find companies & jobs) + Browserbase (control browser) + Stagehand Agent (fill forms smartly).
-- **Workflow**: Exa finds companies you want, then finds their careers pages. Browserbase opens the page, Stagehand reads the job posting, and an AI agent fills out the application form with answers tailored to that specific job.
-- **Plans**: Sequential mode works on all plans; concurrent applications and proxies require Startup or Developer plan or higher ([concurrency](https://docs.browserbase.com/guides/concurrency-rate-limits), [proxies](https://docs.browserbase.com/features/proxies)).
-- Docs → [Stagehand Agent](https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent) | [Exa Search](https://docs.exa.ai/reference/search) | [Stagehand Extract](https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract)
+- **Goal**: Discover live jobs, extract structured role details, and prepare applications for human review.
+- **Pattern**: Exa finds direct careers or ATS pages; Stagehand V4 uses `act`, `extract`, and `observe` to inspect and fill them.
+- **Safety**: Fills only non-empty supplied applicant values, uploads a test résumé when requested, and never submits.
+- **Plans**: Sequential mode works on all plans. Bounded concurrency is opt-in and requires sufficient Browserbase concurrency.
+- Docs → [Stagehand V4](https://docs.stagehand.dev/v4/first-steps/introduction) | [Exa Search](https://docs.exa.ai/reference/search)
## THE 5-STEP FLOW
-1. **Search for companies** — Exa finds companies matching your criteria (e.g., "AI startups in SF")
-2. **Find careers pages** — For each company, Exa searches for their careers/jobs page
-3. **Extract job details** — Stagehand reads the job posting and extracts structured data (title, requirements, responsibilities)
-4. **Smart form filling** — AI agent fills out application fields with tailored responses based on the job description
-5. **Resume upload** — Playwright handles file uploads for resume/CV attachments
+1. **Discover jobs** — one focused Exa search returns a small ranked set of direct company careers or recognized ATS pages.
+2. **Inspect a role** — `act()` opens one live role and `extract()` returns its title, requirements, and responsibilities.
+3. **Inspect the application** — `act()` opens the form and `observe()` inventories its fields.
+4. **Prepare for review** — `act()` fills matching non-empty applicant values; the exact file input uploads the résumé.
+5. **Report, do not submit** — a final `extract()` summarizes the review and the required fields that remain.
-## GLOSSARY
-
-- **agent**: An AI that can plan and do multi-step tasks on its own. It looks at the page and decides what to do next without needing step-by-step instructions.
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent
-- **extract**: Pull structured data from web pages. You define what you want (job title, requirements, etc.) and it returns clean JSON.
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/extract
-- **Exa Search**: AI search engine that finds relevant web content. Can search for companies, find similar pages, and filter by date.
- Docs → https://docs.exa.ai/reference/search
-- **Hybrid mode**: Agent mode that combines reading the page code (DOM) and looking at the page visually. Works better across different websites.
-- **Tailored responses**: The AI reads the job requirements and writes custom answers for cover letters and open-ended questions that highlight relevant skills.
+Direct page methods are limited to exact navigation, résumé upload, and session lifecycle. They do not replace Stagehand's primary interaction primitives.
## QUICKSTART
-1. cd exa-browserbase
-2. pnpm install
-3. cp .env.example .env
-4. Add required API keys to .env:
- - `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` — from Browserbase
- - `EXA_API_KEY` — from https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys
- - Configure your Browserbase API key with OpenRouter/Anthropic
-5. Update `applicationDetails` object with candidate information
-6. Update `resumePath` to point to your PDF resume
-7. pnpm start
-
-## EXPECTED OUTPUT
-
-- Uses your exact info for name, email, phone
-- Writes custom answers for open-ended questions
-- Creates a tailored cover letter based on the job
-- Handles location and visa questions smartly
-- Stops before submitting (for testing/review purposes)
-- Closes session cleanly
+1. `cd exa-browserbase`
+2. `pnpm install`
+3. `cp .env.example .env`
+4. Add `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` and `EXA_API_KEY` to `.env`.
+5. Replace the synthetic `applicant` and `Dummy_CV.pdf` with your test data.
+6. `pnpm start`
+
+The default run reviews one application sequentially, trying up to three ranked candidates when an earlier live result has no usable form. For a small, repeatable smoke run, set `COMPANY_QUERY=Browserbase NUM_COMPANIES=1`.
+
+Set `NUM_COMPANIES` to review more candidates. Set `CONCURRENT=true MAX_CONCURRENT_BROWSERS=2` to opt into bounded concurrent sessions.
+
+## RESULT CONTRACT
+
+- A run succeeds when it reaches at least one real application and returns a review.
+- `fieldsAttempted` lists the fields whose Stagehand actions reported success; it is intentionally not a claim that every ATS persisted every value.
+- `resumeUploaded` reports that the deterministic file-upload command completed without throwing; persistence is left to external E2E validation.
+- Null, empty, absent, or ambiguous fields remain outstanding instead of being invented or treated as infrastructure failures.
+- The final submit button is never clicked.

-- AI-Powered Interaction: leverage Stagehand to map inputs to the right fields reliably.
+- Observe → Act: discovers the live form controls once, then fills the observed actions with the matching values.
+- Variable-driven actions: pair observed form controls with the supplied sample values.

-## GLOSSARY
-
-- agent: create an autonomous AI agent that can execute complex multi-step tasks
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/agent#what-is-agent
+- Goal: run a Gemini 3 Flash research agent with a Browserbase browser.
+- Vercel AI SDK owns the agent loop; Stagehand code mode supplies `code_execute` over MCP.
+- `STAGEHAND_MODEL_NAME` is passed to the code-mode process so Stagehand AI primitives also use Gemini.
## QUICKSTART
-1. npm install
-2. cp .env.example .env
-3. Add your Browserbase API key to .env
-4. npm start
-
-## EXPECTED OUTPUT
+1. `cd gemini-3-flash`
+2. `pnpm install`
+3. Add `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` and `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` to `.env`
+4. `pnpm start`
-- Initializes Stagehand session with Browserbase
-- Navigates to Google search engine
-- Executes autonomous search and data extraction task
-- Displays live session link for monitoring
-- Returns structured results or completion status
-- Closes session cleanly
+Set `AGENT_MODEL` to override the outer agent's default `google/gemini-3-flash-preview` model.
-## COMMON PITFALLS
-
-- "Cannot find module": ensure all dependencies are installed
-- Missing credentials: verify .env contains BROWSERBASE_API_KEY
-
-## USE CASES
+## EXPECTED OUTPUT
-• Autonomous research: Let AI agents independently research topics, gather information, and compile reports without manual intervention.
-• Complex web workflows: Automate multi-step processes that require decision-making, form filling, and data extraction across multiple pages.
-• Content discovery: Search for specific information, verify data accuracy, and cross-reference sources autonomously.
+- The agent uses `code_execute` to browse, research the configured question, and return cited findings.
+- Closing the MCP client closes Stagehand and its Browserbase browser.
-## NEXT STEPS
+## SAFETY
-• Customize instructions: Modify the instruction variable to test different autonomous tasks and scenarios.
-• Add error handling: Implement retry logic, fallback strategies, and better error recovery for failed agent actions.
-• Extend capabilities: Add support for file downloads, form submissions, and more complex interaction patterns.
+Code mode executes model-authored JavaScript and is not itself a security sandbox. Isolate it when browsing untrusted content.

## AT A GLANCE
- Goal: find personalized gift recommendations using AI-generated search queries and intelligent product scoring.
-- AI Integration: Stagehand for AI-generated search queries and score products based on recipient profile.
+- AI Integration: OpenAI through Vercel AI Gateway generates and scores personalized search terms; Stagehand searches and extracts the live products. A direct OpenAI key remains a fallback.
- Concurrent Sessions: runs multiple browser sessions simultaneously to search different queries in parallel.
-- Proxies: uses Browserbase proxies with UK geolocation for European website access (Firebox.eu).
## GLOSSARY
- act: perform UI actions from a prompt (search, click, type)
- Docs → https://docs.stagehand.dev/basics/act

- extract: pull structured data from pages using schemas

- Goal: extract all image URLs from a page with Stagehand and download each image through the browser's direct connection.
- Browser-context downloads: `fetch()` runs inside the browser via `page.evaluate()` — no special proxy configuration needed. It automatically inherits any active Browserbase proxy and session cookies, so you get the same image the browser sees, even for auth-gated or same-origin-only URLs.
-- AI-powered URL extraction: uses `extract()` with a typed Zod schema to reliably pull `![]()
` src attributes and background image URLs from any page.
+- Semantic URL discovery: uses `extract()` with a Zod schema to find rendered image and background-image URLs.
+- Correctness fallback: reads the exact image DOM shape only when the accessibility snapshot yields no URLs.
- Format-agnostic: uses `FileReader.readAsDataURL()` inside the browser to encode image bytes and detect the real MIME type — files are saved with the correct extension (`.jpg`, `.png`, `.svg`, `.webp`, etc.).
- Organized output: images are saved to `./images//` so runs against different sites never mix.

## NEXT STEPS
-• Scroll before extracting: call `page.evaluate(() => window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight))` before `extract()` to trigger lazy-loaded images.
+• Scroll before discovery: call `stagehand.act("Scroll to the bottom of the page")` to trigger lazy-loaded images.
• Concurrent downloads: fan out the `page.evaluate` fetch calls with `Promise.allSettled` for faster bulk downloads.
• Metadata CSV: write a `manifest.csv` alongside the images recording original URL, filename, MIME type, byte size, and download timestamp.
• Extend MIME support: add entries to the `MIME_TO_EXT` map at the top of `index.ts` for any formats not already covered.

+- Goal: replace the former computer-use orchestration example with a bring-your-own agent.
+- Vercel AI SDK `ToolLoopAgent` owns the agent loop.
+- Stagehand code mode supplies the stateful `code_execute` MCP browser tool.
## QUICKSTART
-1. npm install
-2. cp .env.example .env
-3. Add your Browserbase API key, Azure API key, and Azure endpoint to .env
-4. npm start
-
-## EXPECTED OUTPUT
+1. `cd microsoft-cua`
+2. `pnpm install`
+3. Add `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` and `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` to `.env`
+4. `pnpm start`
-- Initializes Stagehand session with Browserbase
-- Navigates to Google search engine
-- Executes autonomous search and data extraction task
-- Displays live session link for monitoring
-- Returns structured results or completion status
-- Closes session cleanly
+Set `AGENT_MODEL` to select another AI Gateway model; the default is `openai/gpt-5.4`.
-## COMMON PITFALLS
-
-- "Cannot find module": ensure all dependencies are installed
-- Missing credentials: verify .env contains BROWSERBASE_API_KEY, AZURE_API_KEY, and AZURE_ENDPOINT
-- Microsoft API access: ensure you have access to Microsoft's fara-7b model via Azure or Fireworks
-
-## USE CASES
+## EXPECTED OUTPUT
-• Autonomous research: Let AI agents independently research topics, gather information, and compile reports without manual intervention.
-• Complex web workflows: Automate multi-step processes that require decision-making, form filling, and data extraction across multiple pages.
-• Content discovery: Search for specific information, verify data accuracy, and cross-reference sources autonomously.
+- The agent browses with `code_execute` and returns cited research findings.
+- Closing the MCP client closes Stagehand and its Browserbase browser.
-## NEXT STEPS
+## SAFETY
-• Customize instructions: Modify the instruction variable to test different autonomous tasks and scenarios.
-• Add error handling: Implement retry logic, fallback strategies, and better error recovery for failed agent actions.
-• Extend capabilities: Add support for file downloads, form submissions, and more complex interaction patterns.
+Code mode executes model-authored JavaScript and is not itself a security sandbox. Isolate it for untrusted content.

-- Search: supports company name, ticker symbol, or CIK number (e.g. "Apple Inc", "AAPL", "0000320193").
-- Data Extraction: uses Stagehand act/extract with Zod schemas to navigate SEC.gov and pull structured filing data.
+- Entity selection: uses `act()` to search EDGAR and open the requested company.
+- Data extraction: uses schema-validated `extract()` for the company identity and recent filing records.
- Output: company name, CIK, and a configurable number of most recent filings, printed as summary and JSON.

### AT A GLANCE

-- **Link extraction**: Uses `Stagehand.extract()` with a Zod schema to pull all links and their visible text from the homepage.
+- **Link extraction**: Uses schema-validated `extract()` to collect rendered HTTP(S) links and their accessible text.
- **Content verification**: Opens each link and uses AI to assess whether the page content matches what the link text suggests.
- **Social link handling**: Detects social media domains and only checks that they load (skipping full content verification).
- **Batch processing**: Processes links in batches controlled by `MAX_CONCURRENT_LINKS` (sequential by default, can be made concurrent).
