## Description

Stagehand is an AI-native browser automation framework designed to build autonomous agents that navigate websites and interact with page elements. It provides a development kit for creating workflows that combine natural language instructions with deterministic code to perform complex tasks, such as structured data extraction and end-to-end testing.

The framework distinguishes itself through integrated headless browser orchestration and identity-based anti-bot evasion, allowing agents to bypass security filters and authentication challenges. It supports stateful session management, ensuring that cookies and local storage persist across tasks, while providing observability through session replays and real-time page state analysis.

The platform includes a unified model gateway to route requests across multiple language models and supports the deployment of custom automation logic in proximity to browser sessions to reduce latency. It also handles infrastructure requirements, including the provisioning of globally distributed browser instances and the retrieval of remote files.
