API Reference

🌐

Sandboxed Chromium

Cloud browsers spin up in under 30ms with GPU acceleration when needed. Connect via CDP, WebDriver BiDi, or computer-use controls.

Create a browser

🔐

Managed Auth

Capture, store, and reuse credentials across browser sessions. Hosted login UI, programmatic flows, and React components for in-app auth.

Auth overview

🕵️

Stealth & Anti-Bot

Solve CAPTCHAs, manage residential and ISP proxies, and bypass bot detection so your agents stay invisible.

Bot detection

📹

Observability

Live-view any active session, record MP4 replays, stream logs, and tail process output via Server-Sent Events.

Live view

🚀

App Platform

Deploy agent code with one command. Actions are invokable methods that run co-located with their browser for minimum network latency.

Browser Pools

Pre-warm pools of reserved browsers to avoid cold-start delay under high concurrency. Acquire and release on demand.

What is Kernel?

Kernel is cloud browser infrastructure purpose-built for AI agents and automations. Every Kernel browser is a sandboxed Chromium instance with managed auth, stealth, residential proxies, live view, and session replay built in. Agents create browsers on demand, run actions co-located with them for low latency, and tear them down when finished.

Concepts

Browser: a cloud-based Chromium managed by Kernel, accepting Chrome DevTools Protocol connections.
App: a codebase deployed on Kernel for running agent loops on demand or on a schedule.
Action: an invokable method within an app. Apps can have multiple actions.
Invocation: a single execution of an action, triggered via API, schedule, or on-demand.
Project: a named container that isolates Kernel resources (browsers, profiles, credentials, proxies, pools) within an organization.
