# Automate Chrome, in the cloud.

Your agent drives Chrome on a real phone with genuine hardware identity. It opens URLs, searches, signs into your web apps, and loads the desktop site a normal user sees.

## What agents do in Chrome.

- **Open URLs and search**: The universal glue step. Point the agent at any link or query and it navigates, reads the page, and pulls the data you need.
- **Sign into your web apps**: Log into your own or a client's authorized accounts, land on the dashboard, and pull the numbers or trigger the task.
- **Run web and app flows end to end**: When a task starts in the browser and ends in a native app, one agent handles both on the same phone. No broken chain.

## Why a real phone is the fix.

Headless browsers get blocked when a page must trust the visitor. Chrome on a mobilerun real phone loads as a normal user on real Android or iOS hardware that passes the checks real apps run, so the reliable path is the default for authorized flows.

- Real hardware, real device and agent identity means pages, logins, and sessions treat the visit as a real user on a real Android or iOS device.
- Drive it with any model via API, SDK, or MCP, or hand a task to the chat VA.
- Reads the accessibility tree, up to ~90% cheaper than vision-only, on pay as you go, stateful on request phones.

## FAQ

**Can I automate Chrome with an AI agent?**

Yes. Your agent drives Chrome on a real phone via API, SDK, or MCP. It opens URLs, searches, signs into your web apps, and runs the flow end to end.

**Does the browser read as a normal user?**

Yes. Chrome runs on a real phone with an authentic device identity, so pages and logins see a genuine visitor on real hardware. That legitimacy makes authorized, first-party automation land reliably.

**Can it handle a task that spans web and a native app?**

Yes. The same phone runs Chrome and your native apps, so one agent carries a task from the browser into the app without a handoff.
