Stagehandstagehand.devStagehand is the SDK for browser agents that lets you control a browser using familiar Playwright-style APIs (goto, click, locator, screenshot) across TypeScript, Python, and Go, running alongside the browser as an extension for low-latency actions. It includes self-healing actions, natural-language control (Act, Observe, Extract), WebMCP, clipboard support, deep locators for nested iframes and Shadow DOM, and OpenTelemetry tracing for observability. It aims to deliver faster, more token-efficient, and more reliable agent-driven automation with a complete browser driver designed for production use.
