Domain knowledge for Kernel — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

Kernel provides cloud-based browser automation through persistent sessions, profiles, and execution pools. This service enables AI agents to perform web interactions, run automation scripts, and manage browser infrastructure at scale.

Core Capabilities

Browser Session Management: Create and control cloud browser instances with persistent state. Sessions can be launched on-demand or allocated from pre-warmed pools for faster response times.

Profile & State Persistence: Maintain cookies, login credentials, and session data across browser instances using persistent profiles. Critical for workflows requiring authenticated web interactions.

Automation Execution: Run Playwright/TypeScript scripts against browser sessions for complex web automation. Also supports direct computer actions like clicks, screenshots, and form interactions.

Infrastructure Management: Configure proxy routing, install browser extensions, and manage pools of pre-warmed instances for production workloads.

Application Platform: Deploy and invoke custom Kernel apps with specific automation capabilities.

Domain Model

Browser sessions are the primary execution context. Sessions can inherit from profiles (for persistence) and connect through proxies (for routing). Pools provide session allocation strategies. Apps encapsulate reusable automation logic.

Key Considerations

Sessions consume cloud resources and should be explicitly managed. Profile setup is essential for workflows requiring login state. Playwright code execution requires valid TypeScript syntax. The platform includes detailed documentation search for implementation guidance.
