Web Browser Tool - Utari Docs

Overview

The web browser tool gives your Utari workers the ability to actively browse and interact with websites. Unlike web search which finds information, the browser tool allows workers to visit specific URLs, navigate through pages, capture screenshots, and extract content—essentially giving your worker a functional web browser.

Web Browser Capabilities

When you enable the web browser tool, your worker gains four powerful capabilities:

Browser Navigate To

Visit specific URLs and navigate through websites

Browser Screenshot

Capture visual screenshots of web pages

Browser Extract Content

Extract text, data, and content from web pages

Browser App

Launch and interact with web applications

The web browser tool is ideal for tasks that require visual verification, page interaction, or when you need to see exactly how a website appears.

Enabling the Web Browser Tool

Select your worker and click on the Tools tab.

Troubleshooting

Browser tool not activating

Verify that:

Web browser tool is enabled in worker configuration
All necessary capabilities are checked
You’re providing valid, complete URLs
You’ve dismissed any preview warnings

Screenshots are blank or incomplete

Try:

Waiting a few seconds for the page to fully load
Asking the worker to “wait for the page to load, then take a screenshot”
Checking if the website blocks automated access
Verifying the URL is correct and publicly accessible

Can't access certain websites

Check if:

The website requires login credentials
The site blocks automated browser access
The URL is behind a firewall or VPN
The website has geo-restrictions
Try a different page on the same domain

Preview warning keeps appearing

Remember to:

Click “I understand” each time it appears
This is a security feature to confirm you want the worker to access external websites
The warning protects you from unintended navigation

Extracted content is incomplete

Improve extraction by:

Being more specific about what content to extract
Specifying the section or element you need
Asking for specific data types (headings, prices, lists, etc.)
Trying multiple extraction commands for complex pages

Navigation fails on multi-step processes

Privacy and Security

Important Considerations:

The browser tool accesses websites on your behalf
Always review the preview warning before proceeding
Don’t use the tool to access sensitive or password-protected sites
Be aware of terms of service for websites you’re accessing
Screenshots may capture sensitive information—handle accordingly
Respect website robots.txt and terms of service

Limitations

Current Limitations:

Cannot interact with pages requiring login
Limited JavaScript interaction capabilities
May not work with all single-page applications (SPAs)
Cannot fill out forms or click buttons (yet)
Works best with publicly accessible, static content
