FAQs

How fast can Kernel spin up a browser?

Kernel is designed for speed, capable of spinning up cloud browsers in less than 30 milliseconds. This rapid spin-up time is crucial for AI agents and web automations that require quick and efficient access to web environments.

Does Kernel help with anti-bot detection and CAPTCHAs?

Yes, Kernel includes a 'Stealth Mode' feature that helps manage anti-bot detection. It solves CAPTCHAs and utilizes residential proxies to minimize the frequency of encountering bot-detection mechanisms, ensuring smoother agent operation.

Can I monitor and debug my agent's browser sessions?

Kernel provides observability features that allow you to view browser sessions live. Additionally, you can record these sessions as MP4s, which is highly beneficial for debugging and understanding the behavior of your AI agents and web automations.
