There’s a growing narrative that AI agents are being held back by model limitations. From what I’ve observed, that’s only part of the story. The bigger constraint is access. Most of the internet was designed for humans navigating interfaces, clicking buttons, filling forms, and handling imperfect flows. APIs expose a clean layer, but they represent only a fraction of where real work actually happens. The moment an agent moves beyond a controlled demo and tries to operate in the wild, things start breaking. Pages render unpredictably. Authentication becomes messy. Workflows lack standardization. Assumptions about APIs fall apart. So the problem shifts. It becomes less about how well the agent can reason and more about whether it can operate. That’s why @browserbase caught my attention. Treating the browser as the primary interface for agents feels like a fundamental shift. Instead of forcing the world into APIs, it allows agents to interact with the web as it already exists. Once agents can reliably log in, navigate, and execute tasks across real systems, the outcome evolves from assistance to execution. The next phase of AI will be defined by reliable execution in real environments. Kudos to @pk_iv and the @Browserbase team for pushing this forward 👏♥️ Paul Klein IV (@pk_iv) Your agents suck when using the web because 85% of it doesn't have an API. Browserbase gives them everything they need to do work online. Leading AI companies like Ramp, Lovable, and Clay trust us to power agents that do real work on behalf of real people. With a single API key, your agent gets everything it needs to navigate the wild web: browsers, search, fetch, identity, a sandbox runtime, and model gateway. Stop waiting on integrations, build agents that can browse and interact with the web just like humans. — https://nitter.net/pk_iv/status/2041518621290266632#m
