Browser Automation
Use the Ampere Desktop app for advanced web interaction
Browser Automation is an advanced Ampere feature for website interaction.
It is different from web search. Web search finds information. Browser automation can work through website flows when a normal search is not enough.
What it is for
Use Browser Automation for tasks like:
- opening websites
- checking what is on a page
- moving through web flows
- collecting information from pages that need interaction
- running workflows that benefit from your desktop network path
Do not use it for simple questions that normal chat or web search can answer.
What you need
Before using it, know these limits:
- it depends on the Ampere Desktop app
- the desktop app must be running during browser tasks
- the feature is marked Alpha in the product
- plan eligibility can matter
- setup may take time because Ampere installs required support
How to enable it
Open Browser Automation
Go to the feature area in the dashboard.
Enable the feature
If your plan supports it, start the enable flow.
Wait for install
Ampere may show an installing state while setup completes.
Download the desktop app
Use the dashboard download flow if prompted.
Keep the app running
Browser tasks need the desktop app active during use.
Desktop app availability
The current product download flow shows:
- macOS available
- Linux available
- Windows coming soon
Check the dashboard for the latest state.
Why the Desktop App Matters
Browser Automation runs through the Ampere Desktop app so your bot can interact with websites more like a real browser session.
The desktop app helps with:
- using your own computer and network path
- keeping browser sessions available during tasks
- supporting websites that need normal browser behavior
- handling flows that are harder from a server-only environment
Keep the desktop app open when you want Browser Automation to work.
Best first test
After setup, try one simple browser task before a complex workflow.
Example:
“Open this page and tell me the main heading and pricing options you see.”
This helps separate setup problems from task complexity.
