Stagehand: agent building features and setup

Overview

Stagehand is designed for development teams that want to write a browser agent in code rather than run a ready-made tool without control. It follows a style similar to Playwright and supports TypeScript, Python, and Go. It is suitable when browser actions need to be integrated into tests or an internal process. Before using it in a live environment, separate test scripts from actions that change customer data.

Features

• An SDK for browser agents in a Playwright style
• Support for TypeScript, Python, and Go
• Code-level control over actions in a website interface

Business uses

• Writing an agent that checks a registration flow on an internal website
• Integrating a browser action into an automated testing process

Getting started

• Run an official example against a website that is not a customer's.
• Write one action and keep it separate from production environment data.
• Check a page change, a delay, and a failure to locate an element.

What to check

• Browser automation requires maintenance when the interface changes.
• Do not store passwords in the script itself.
