01 / evaluation
“I think the thing with the proxy infrastructure is that we work with many different web proxy providers and some are better than others.”
02 / evaluation
“It's a framework for building web agents. And we think that agent loops are actually pretty close to the application layer because every application probably has different goals or different ways it wants to take steps.”

“Unfortunately, I think AI is going to be able to do a lot of the tasks that we do online, which means that it will be able to go to websites, click buttons on our behalf and log in on our behalf too.”

“Yeah, seriously. And unfortunately, it's a great product, but I think if you're an infrastructure company, you actually have to have a deeper level of control over these primitives.”
06 / preference
“There are some, right? And I think in the end, what I have seen as my time as a developer, and I look at all the favorite tools that I have, is that, like, for tools and primitives with sufficient levels of complexity, you need to have a solution that's really bespoke to that primitive, you know?”
07 / commitment
“We have very little to no known abuse of Browserbase because we really look into who we work with.”
08 / uncertainty
“I was just trying to play WoW as a kid and they made me play sports. So I don't know how it worked out the way it did, but it does all come back to like, as a solo founder, you need to be willing to like go out there and, you know, talk about your product, go talk to customers, go convince people to work for you, but then also have core principles of like how you want to build this company and like what product you want to build.”
09 / belief
“I think, like, there are use cases for specific operating systems for specific legacy software.”
10 / belief
“I think the team really has ownership of all, a lot of these day-to-day decisions that add up to make a cohesive product experience culturally, like we're fully in person.”
11 / belief
“I think that there's a movement towards more solo founders in the Valley more generally, but people who are hearing this for the first time have no idea.”
12 / belief
“I think the government itself should embrace AI more to do more sort of human-friendly form filling.”
13 / uncertainty
“You know, StageHand is completely open source for that reason. And, yeah, like, I think if you're building really complex web scraping workflows, I don't know if StageHand is the tool for you.”
14 / belief
“Like, I think a lot of these tools are going to run on your computer because it makes...”
15 / belief
“You know? But I think there needs to be something a little bit more robust there.”
16 / belief
“I didn't even think that we'd get here so fast with multimodality. I think we're going to have to get back to multimodal and vision models.”
17 / belief
“One of the case studies on our website that I think is the most interesting is this company called Benny.”
18 / uncertainty
“I don't know if we will directly, but one of our customers definitely is trying to do that.”
19 / belief
“Like, I think that if you're building a web scraping product, if you need to do occasional web scraping or you have to do web scraping that works every single time, you want to use browser automation.”
20 / uncertainty
“I don't know if it's going to happen from an individual company, but actually authentication providers that have a, you know, hidden login as agent feature, which will then you put in your email, you'll get a push notification, say like, hey, your browser-based agent wants to log into your Airbnb.”
21 / belief
“I think like collectively as an AI industry, let's just take a week off together.”
22 / prediction
“You have a browser that has an AI interface that will take over your mouse and keyboard and control the browser for you.”
23 / recommendation
“The only solution I know, which is to kind of keep a kind of warm pool of servers around, which is expensive, but maybe not so expensive because it's just CPUs.”
24 / uncertainty
“I think I'm just trying to make sure that I'm not making false predictions. Because, like, you can predict that things will be better generically, but how?”
25 / preference
“That's the only. I think that's the only way to do it. Yeah. Like, unless Chrome has some special API for you.”
26 / evaluation
“Where he basically observed that the browser is turning the operating system into a poorly debugged set of device drivers, because most of the apps are moved from the OS to the browser.”
27 / evaluation
“Just because like you're one of the, you know, best performing, I think, LLM tool companies that have started up in the last couple of years.”
28 / prediction
“There's always the question of the, are you a point solution or are you the sort of all in one? And I think the point solutions tend to win quickly, but then the only ones have a very tight cohesive experience.”
29 / commitment
