Over the past year, everyone has tried to build autonomous browser agents. Most of them break in production. If you’ve built agents using Puppeteer , Playwright , or Selenium combined with an LLM , you know the frustration: Vision-based perception — sends high-res screenshots to GPT-4o. It’s slow (1.5s+ per frame), costs \$0.05–\$0.15 per step, misses offscreen state, and fails when bounding boxes jitter. ARIA snapshots - dump massive 20,000+ token accessibility trees into the context window.…
