How It Works
- Create a browser profile — saves your login cookies so you only authenticate once
- Select the profile in chat — the agent knows which account to use
- Tell the agent what to do — it opens a live browser, navigates the site, and completes the task
- Watch in real time — click the Live Browser link to see the agent working
Browser Use is designed for tasks that need your authenticated session — checking messages, posting updates, reviewing analytics. For general web searching, the agent uses its built-in web search tool instead.
Setting Up a Profile
You can create a browser profile in two ways:- From the chat (fastest)
- From the Browsers page
Click the globe icon in the chat input bar. If you don’t have any profiles yet, click Create default profile — a profile is created instantly and auto-selected.To create a named profile, click Create profile, type a name like “linkedin”, and press Enter. The profile is created and selected in one step.
Logging In for the First Time
When you first use a profile, you need to log in manually so the browser saves your session:Select your profile in chat
Click the globe icon in the chat input bar and select your profile. If you just created one from the dropdown, it’s already selected.
Ask the agent to open a session
Type something like “log into my LinkedIn account”. The agent creates a browser session and shows a Live Browser card.
Open the live browser and log in
Click the Live Browser link. A new tab opens showing a cloud browser. Navigate to your service (e.g., linkedin.com) and log in with your credentials. Complete any 2FA if prompted.
Using Browser Use in Chat
With your profile set up and selected, just describe what you want to do in natural language:
- “Check my LinkedIn latest post engagement”
- “Read my LinkedIn messages and summarize them”
- “Post an update on my LinkedIn profile about our product launch”
- “Check my Instagram notifications”
- Check for existing active sessions (reuses them if available)
- Create a new session with your profile if needed
- Show a Live Browser card so you can watch
- Complete the task and report back
Managing Sessions
Navigate to Agent Brain > Browsers and click the Sessions tab to see all your browser sessions.

Privacy and Security
- Your browser profile cookies are stored in Browser Use’s cloud infrastructure, isolated per profile
- The CREAO platform never stores or sees your social media passwords
- Login happens in the live browser — you enter credentials directly, not through the agent
- Each profile is scoped to your user account — other users cannot access your profiles or sessions
- The Browser Use API key is stored server-side and never exposed to the agent sandbox
