Agent harnesses
Give skills-compatible agents and LLM loops managed browser runtimes.
Agent products
Embed live runtime supervision, replay, and artifacts in your own app.
Browser workflows
Run portal-heavy work from queues, workers, and serverless jobs.
Web scraping
Real browser extraction on JS-heavy sites.
Healthcare ops
Portal automation with scoped access and evidence.
GTM ops
Automate browser-heavy growth and revenue workflows.
Legal
Reliable browser automation for legal operations.
Runtime infrastructure for AI agents, with browsers, state, observability, and automation services built in.
Explore the platform →Playwright and Puppeteer assume you can keep a live process and a persistent connection open for the whole task. That falls apart in workers, queues, agents, and serverless jobs.
You stitch together proxy rotation, browser stealth, cookie persistence, secret injection, file staging, CAPTCHA solving, and session replay yourself. Seven integrations, seven failure modes, seven things to keep alive across deploys. None of it survives a cold start — workers timeout, lambdas recycle, sockets drop mid-task. And that's just half of it.
The shared control layer. Mount files, secrets, proxies, and AI config once, then coordinate multiple runtimes.
A remote environment you start, connect to, inspect, and stop. In BCTRL today, that environment is a browser.
The observable record attached to a runtime session: activity, artifacts, live view, recording, and usage.
import { Bctrl } from '@bctrl/sdk'
import { chromium } from 'playwright'
const bctrl = new Bctrl({ apiKey: process.env.BCTRL_API_KEY! })
const space = await bctrl.spaces.create({
name: 'login-flow',
mounts: { vault: { allow: ['acme/'] } },
})
const runtime = await space.runtimes.create({
type: 'browser',
name: 'crm',
config: { recording: true },
})
const connection = await runtime.connections.create({ protocol: 'cdp' })
const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP(connection.endpoint.url)
const page = await browser.newPage()
const cred = await bctrl.vault.get('acme/login')
await page.fill('#user', cred.value)
// TOTP auto-resolved from vault
await page.fill('#otp', await bctrl.vault.totp('acme/2fa'))Publish BCTRL as skill instructions, a runtime API, or a CDP-backed browser target for the agent your users already run.
Let frameworks and long-running agents control a managed browser while BCTRL keeps the run observable.
Embed BCTRL as the runtime layer inside your product so users can watch, debug, and take over agent work.
