Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Browserbase
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.
LlamaIndex
API service
Document parsing for LLM pipelines: layout-aware, agentic extraction that turns PDFs, contracts and forms into structured text a retrieval system can index, with an LLM or VLM reading the page when basic parsing is not enough.
No counterpart
Browserbase sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for LlamaIndex yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Director turns plain-English instructions into browser agents that can run on a schedule.
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.
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.
LlamaIndex sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Browserbase yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
LlamaAgents lets developers build, run, and deploy document-agent workflows.
Developer tool
LlamaIndex's open-source document parser, published on GitHub for teams that want parsing in their own process rather than through LlamaCloud.
The open-source framework the company is named for: SDKs for building context-aware agents over a company's own data, with Workflows for orchestration.
Workflows is a framework for building multi-step agentic AI applications in Python and TypeScript.
Data service
Extracts structured data from complex documents using custom schemas, with field-level confidence scores and citations back to source.
The Index part of LlamaParse: intelligent chunking and embedding that turns parsed documents into a searchable knowledge base for agents.
