Introducing Browser Pools — instant browsers with the logins, cookies, and extensions your agents depend on.
Designed to make using Kernel even faster.
Squoosh AI moved from self-hosted browsers and a legacy provider to KERNEL to run 1000s of AI-powered customer simulations in parallel, turning a/b tests that once took 30–90 days into predictive conversion insights in < 1 hour.
"with kernel, we can focus on predicting customer behavior instead of managing browser infra. the scale and observability we get are what make our conversion predictions possible." - tyler dooskin, founder, squoosh
read the customer story:
now live: replays on kernel can record audio.
previously, your browser session replays were silent movies. now on kernel, replays have sound. so when your agent joins a call, plays a video, or talks to a voice ui, you can hear whether it worked.
Browser agents, hold the Chromium.
Runloop x @usekernel splits browser automation cleanly: agent in a Runloop devbox, browser on Kernel, driven server-side with Playwright.
Tutorial + Python/TypeScript cookbook in reply. #AIAgents#DevTools
as infrastructure that hundreds of thousands of agents rely on daily, we hold ourselves to rigorous security practices. in june, we completed our iso 27001 certification audit with zero non-conformities across our entire production environment
.@effectiveailabs uses KERNEL to ingest 10m+ regulatory filings. by upgrading their self-hosted browser infra setup to KERNEL's stealth browsers and managed auth, effective turned weeks of compliance research into minutes.
"kernel is one of those rare pieces of infrastructure we just don’t think about anymore. It scales with us and we never have to maintain it. - kunal singhal, co-founder & cto, @effectiveailabs
read the case study:
we've partnered with @AnthropicAI to give @claudeai managed agents browser capabilities for the first time. now, managed agents can navigate and interact with the web to complete long horizon, scheduled, and complex tasks — without managing infra.
New from Code with Claude Tokyo: scheduled deployments and environment variables in vaults are in public beta in Claude Managed Agents, and dynamic workflows in Claude Code are generally available.
Agents now run on a schedule, use your tools securely, and take on bigger jobs.
until today, @claudeai managed agents were siloed to first-party integrations. with kernel, they now have browser access and managed auth across any authenticated service — without the agent ever seeing or touching user credentials.
our blog shares more:
kernel is now integrated with @stripe projects. this partnership moves us closer to a world where an agent's stack is simply invokable, composable code.
use the @stripe cli to spin up kernel browsers with 2 loc. stripe projects allows your agent to connect to kernel, choose a plan, and provision api keys without ever using the dashboard.
get started here:
agents are changing infra requirements. our co-founder and ceo, @juecd__ spoke at the replay conference by @temporalio to share lessons learned from giving agents access to the internet at human speed
the trick that makes @usekernel fast: we pay the full 5-10s of starting chromium once, snapshot ram to nvme, and resume in ~30ms when a request lands.
from the outside it looks like a giant warm pool. under the hood it's mostly cold disk. wrote up how we got here.
.@stably_ai uses kernel to build an ai-powered end-to-end testing platform.
by switching to kernel, they saw 333x faster cold starts and eliminated infra-caused test flakiness.
"we evaluated many options, and kernel is the only one that could deliver the performance all of our
