 "what": "Stagehand is Browserbase's SDK for browser agents in TypeScript, Python and Go. It adds three AI methods to Playwright-style browser control: act to perform an action described in plain language, observe to find real selectors on the page, and extract to pull schema-validated data. Actions self-heal when a site changes, sessions persist in a user data directory, and the same script can run locally or on Browserbase.",
 "why": "26k stars, talked about in 2 AI sources we track",
 "language": "TypeScript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node with pnpm, Python, or Go",
  "Chrome installed for local runs",
  "A model API key such as OPENAI_API_KEY, or a Browserbase API key to use the Model Gateway"
 ],
 "audience_note": "Developers automating websites or building browser agents who are tired of brittle selectors breaking on every redesign.",
