Advanced Features

Multi-Agent Workflows

Browser Operator can orchestrate multiple specialized agents:

Agent Handoffs 

Planner Agent → Research Agent → Content Writer Agent → Critique Agent

1. Planner Agent comes up with a plan of execution and spins up different research agents for different queries.
2. Each Research Agent gathers raw information for a specific query
3. Content Writer Agent processes, analyzes the data and generates a report of the raw information
4. The planner agent then combines these different reports to a single final report
5. Critique Agent then verifies if the report satisfies the user request of if the planner agent will have to add additional information.

Data Export

  • Markdown format
  • Integration with external tools (Coming soon)
