What is it?

Workflow Use turns a browser session into a reusable, deterministic workflow. You perform a task once in a Chrome extension recorder, and the tool generates a JSON workflow with variables extracted from form inputs. Running the workflow replays the steps directly without calling an LLM, which keeps execution fast and predictable.

When a step fails, the workflow can fall back to Browser Use, an AI browser agent, to complete it. A generation mode also lets you describe a task in natural language, runs Browser Use once, and converts that execution history into a semantic workflow stored in a local database for later reuse with different inputs.

The project includes a CLI for recording, generating, listing, and running workflows, a Python API, Browser-Use Cloud support, and a web GUI built with FastAPI and a React-style frontend for viewing and executing workflows. It is in early development, and the README advises against production use.

Key features

  • 01Records browser interactions via a Chrome extension and converts them into JSON workflows.
  • 02Automatically extracts form inputs as workflow variables for reuse with different values.
  • 03Replays deterministic steps without LLM calls, with Browser Use fallback when a step fails.
  • 04Generates workflows from natural language task descriptions and stores them in a database.
  • 05Runs workflows locally or on Browser-Use Cloud browsers.
  • 06Provides a CLI, a Python API, and a web GUI for managing workflows.

Use cases

  • Repeating routine web form submissions with different data each time.
  • Automating multi-step web tasks that should behave the same way every run.
  • Prototyping browser automation by recording a task instead of writing selectors by hand.
  • Running recorded browser workflows as tools for other agents or scripts.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/browser-use/workflow-use
  2. 2

    Sync the workflow environment dependencies with uv

    uv sync
  3. 3

    Install the Chromium browser for Playwright

    playwright install chromium
  4. 4

    Run the example workflow

    python cli.py run-workflow examples/example.workflow.json

Things to know

  • The project is in very early development and not recommended for production use, with breaking changes expected.
  • Licensed under AGPL-3.0, a copyleft license that requires sharing modifications when distributed or served over a network.
  • The AI fallback relies on an OpenAI API key set in the .env file.
