Browser overview Give Eigent agents controlled access to browser sessions and authenticated websites. compass

Eigent can launch or connect to Chrome DevTools Protocol browsers for research and browser automation. Browser agents can navigate pages, interact with controls, capture screenshots, and maintain session state.

Open Browser settings

  1. Open the Eigent dashboard.
  2. Select Browser.
  3. Choose Connections, Plugins, or Cookies.

Screenshot placeholder: Add a screenshot of the Browser settings page with the three navigation items and an active browser pool.

Browser Connections

Connections manage browsers available to agents. You can:

  • Open a new managed browser
  • Connect an existing CDP-enabled browser
  • Review browser names and ports
  • Remove a browser from the pool

See Browser connections.

Browser Cookies

Cookies let agents use authenticated sessions. Open a dedicated login browser, sign in to required services, then let Eigent import the resulting cookie domains.

See Browser cookies.

Browser Plugins

Browser Plugins are currently marked Coming soon.

Do not present browser extension or plugin features as available until the product page includes active installation controls.

Use a browser in a Session

When a Browser agent starts work, its workspace appears in the Project Session.

The agent can:

  • Search and navigate
  • Click and type
  • Read page content
  • Capture visual state
  • Use available authenticated cookies

When manual interaction is required, use Take Control, complete the action, and return control to the agent.

Security

  • Use a dedicated browser profile.
  • Avoid storing unnecessary privileged sessions.
  • Delete cookies when a task no longer needs them.
  • Review actions before giving an agent access to sensitive services.
  • Do not connect a remote-debugging port to an untrusted network.

Video placeholder: Add a 60-second MP4 showing a browser connection, a Browser-agent task, Take Control, and return of control. Include captions.
