Remote Assist
When automation gets stuck, hand control to a human — open the link on any device to take over, and the agent continues seamlessly when done.
One Command to Hand Off
browser-act --session my-task remote-assist --objective "Complete 2FA verification"
The CLI returns a live remote URL.
Take Over from Any Device
The user opens the link in any browser on any device to see the browser screen and operate it:
- Laptop / desktop
- Phone / tablet
- Remote server scenarios (take over from your own device)
- SSH-based remote development
No headed switch, no same-machine requirement, no software install. Doesn't depend on screen sharing or VNC — one link, native browser support.
Typical Scenarios
| Scenario | How it's handled |
|---|---|
| 2FA requiring a phone | The user receives the SMS / app code on the phone and enters it |
| Complex CAPTCHA auto-solve can't handle | Drag-puzzle, behavioral verification, etc. |
| Enterprise SSO with hardware tokens | UKey, dynamic-passcode cards, and other local hardware |
| Mid-workflow human judgment | Picking between candidates, compliance review, sensitive-action confirmation |
| Multi-person collaboration | Send the link to a coworker to complete verification |
Seamless Continuation After Handoff
After the user finishes:
- No session restart required
- Automation context is not lost
- Browser state, cookies, and current page are all preserved
- The agent picks up from the next step
Compared to Standard Approaches
| Standard approach | BrowserAct | |
|---|---|---|
| Letting humans intervene during headless | Must switch to headed | Generate a remote URL directly |
| User must be on the same machine | Yes | No |
| Requires extra software (VNC / RDP / screen share) | Yes | No |
| Cross-device handoff | Not supported | Any browser works |
| After the user finishes | Manual session restart | Agent continues automatically |
Next Steps
- Better Headless — Default headless + remote handoff philosophy
- Anti-Blocking — Try automation before invoking remote-assist
- Agent Design — Design philosophy, automation capabilities, secure by default
