Project overview
Steel exposes a browser API that manages Chrome sessions, pages, processes, cookies, local storage, proxies, extensions, and cleanup for AI agents or automation applications. Developers can connect with Puppeteer, Playwright, or Selenium, or call quick endpoints for scraping pages, taking screenshots, and producing PDFs. It can be used through Steel Cloud or deployed locally with Docker and other supported setups. The project is still described as a public beta.
