 "page_title": "How to run browser automations in the cloud with action caching with Stagehand",
 "summary": "Point the same Stagehand script at Browserbase and turn on caching so repeated actions spend no tokens.",
 "who": "A team running the same browser automations many times a day who wants them faster and cheaper.",
 "problem": "Running browsers on your own servers is fiddly, and paying model tokens for the same action every run adds up.",
 "outcome": "The same script running on hosted browsers, with repeated calls served from cache.",
 "steps": [
  "Get a Browserbase API key and set BROWSERBASE_API_KEY",
  "Launch with browserbase.launch instead of the local browser, keeping the rest of your script",
  "Create Stagehand with cache: true so identical calls come back from Browserbase with no tokens spent",
  "Leave out the model configuration to let the Model Gateway pick the cheapest model for each action",
  "Use session recordings to debug runs that go wrong"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Move my existing browserbase/stagehand script <file> from a local browser to Browserbase: launch with browserbase.launch using BROWSERBASE_API_KEY, enable cache, drop the model config so the Model Gateway picks models, and run it twice to show the second run uses the cache.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Caching only helps when the same call repeats; one-off tasks still pay for model tokens.",
