Browserbase Unveils Groundbreaking Automation Tool 'Director' with $40M in Series B Funding

Browserbase Launches 'Director' to Automate the Web for Everyone

On June 17, 2025, Browserbase, an innovative infrastructure platform that enhances web browsing for AI applications, introduced its latest offering—Director. This no-code tool aims to democratize the ability to build web automation workflows, catering not just to developers but also to non-technical users.

The launch of Director coincides with a substantial financing round of $40 million in Series B funding, spearheaded by Notable Capital and supported by existing investors such as CRV and Kleiner Perkins. Notable Capital's managing partner, Glenn Solomon, is expected to join the Browserbase board of directors, enhancing the company's leadership and strategic direction.

Rapid Expansion of Browserbase

Founded by Paul Klein just 16 months ago, Browserbase has experienced explosive growth, exemplified by a remarkable milestone of over 50 million browser sessions in 2025. With a customer base that now exceeds 1,000 companies—including notable names like Perplexity, Commure, and Customer.io—the platform has attracted more than 20,000 developers eager to integrate real-time web browsing capabilities into their applications and workflows.

Klein, a seasoned entrepreneur with a track record of founding successful ventures, emphasized the shift in perception regarding the capabilities of AI agents. “Two years ago, the idea of AI agents autonomously browsing the web seemed like pure science fiction,” he shared. “Today, it’s a reality, and we’re here to provide the infrastructure necessary to support this new era of web automation.”

Introducing Director: Empowering All Users

Director stands out as a transformative tool that simplifies the process of creating web automations through a straightforward, no-code interface. Users can harness the power of Director by simply describing their desired outcomes in plain English, allowing them to generate executable scripts that will run seamlessly on Browserbase’s robust infrastructure.

This accessibility is crucial as it empowers operators, marketers, analysts, and even beginner coders to harness web automation without needing technical skills. By removing the barriers typically associated with coding, Director opens the floodgates for creativity and innovation across various teams.

Additionally, Director complements Browserbase’s existing automation framework, known as Stagehand, which supports popular programming languages like Python and Node.js. The enhancements in observability and performance indicate a significant step forward in the functionality and user experience of Browserbase offerings.
