Browser¶
OpenClaw ships an integrated browser tool that the Pi agent can drive directly. It uses a dedicated openclaw Chrome / Chromium instance controlled via the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP).
Capabilities¶
- Snapshots — capture page state for the agent to reason about.
- Actions — click, type, navigate, scroll.
- Uploads — submit forms with attached files.
- Profiles — persistent Chrome profiles for logged-in browsing.
Profiles¶
Browser profiles persist cookies and storage between runs. Useful for sites the agent needs to revisit while signed in. Profile management is exposed via the CLI and the Control UI.
Browser login¶
The browser tool supports a guided login flow so the agent can pause for a human to complete authentication, then resume with the resulting session.
Troubleshooting¶
The upstream docs/tools/browser-linux-troubleshooting.md covers Linux-specific issues (Chrome dependencies, sandboxing, display).
