Browserbase
Application
Director turns plain-English instructions into browser agents that can run on a schedule.
API service
API that reads a URL live at request time and returns it as clean markdown, HTML or JSON for an agent's context, with ads and navigation stripped and an Extract option for structured fields.
Routes a Stagehand agent's model calls to OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini through the Browserbase API key, handling billing, retries and rate limits, with tokens charged at the providers' own prices.
Real-time web search API for agents that returns ranked, token-optimised results (URL, title and favicon per page) so an agent can pick which sites to fetch or browse next.
Infrastructure service
Cloud browsers, search, fetch and a managed runtime that AI agents use to browse, fill forms and act on websites, with session replays for debugging.
Gives each Browserbase session a cryptographically verified agent credential through Web Bot Auth, so partner sites and anti-bot providers let the agent in, with CAPTCHA solving and reusable logged-in contexts.
Debugging view over every Browserbase agent session: live view, action-by-action replay, structured logs of network requests, console output and errors, and traces of each agent decision.
Sandboxed, isolated hosting for agent code deployed to Browserbase (Browserbase Functions), so an agent runs next to the browser session it controls instead of on a separate server.
Core42
Application
API service
Unified inference layer within Core42 Sovereign AI Cloud: one API for 50+ models across 12 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, xAI, DeepSeek and others), with sovereign in-country deployment, guardrails, fine-tuning services and a Playground for prompt testing.
Infrastructure service
Single-tenant private cloud for governments and enterprises running classified or otherwise secret workloads, with sovereignty guarantees Core42 operates itself.
Full-stack sovereign AI cloud platform unifying multi-accelerator compute (NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, Cerebras, Microsoft) across 86K+ GPUs in sovereign data centers, AI-optimized storage, Kubernetes/SLURM orchestration, and Core42 Compass inference, for training, fine-tuning and production AI workloads.
Public cloud built on Azure but operated under UAE data-sovereignty and security controls, for public-sector and regulated workloads that cannot leave the country.
No counterpart
Browserbase sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Core42 yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
Managed browser agent created from a natural-language prompt and run with one API call; it navigates sites, fills forms and returns structured JSON, with browsers, search, verified identity and proxies included.
