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

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.

Troubleshooting

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
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
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
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
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

​
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
