Browser-use just merged a new feature into browser-harness that records browser agent sessions and automatically edits them into Screen Studio-style clips. The agent captures per-action screenshots, hides sensitive credentials, and renders smooth zooms, synthetic cursors, and captions inside the browser without needing ffmpeg.
Browser Use just open-sourced video-use, allowing coding agents like Claude Code to cut videos directly. Instead of burning millions of tokens on video frames, it feeds the LLM word-level audio transcripts and on-demand timeline snapshots to trim dead air, strip filler words, and burn subtitles.
Browser Use just launched the beta of BU, a web agent platform aimed squarely at replacing Meta's newly acquired $2B startup, Manus. BU pairs browser automation with full local computer access, cutting task times to 33.4 seconds and costs down to 1.9 cents per run. It is an aggressive push to prove open-source roots can beat expensive proprietary wrappers.
Open-source tool Browser Use just blew up after users realized it powers the viral AI agent Manus. Co-creator Gregor Zunic says daily downloads jumped from around 5,000 on March 3 to 28,000 on March 10. By letting models click buttons and fill out forms, it is rapidly becoming the shovel of choice in the web agent gold rush.
