- Session management — multi-browser isolation, multi-account parallel operation
- Verification assistance — when automation encounters interactive challenges, assists completion with user authorization
- Complex interaction — DOM content extraction, screenshots, form filling, file upload
- Human-agent collaboration — headed mode + remote assist for manual steps
- Safety controls — Confirmation Gate protocol requires explicit user approval before browser creation, deletion, and sensitive operations
- Universal compatibility — works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, etc.
