What you can build
Back-to-back tasks: log in with one operation, search and extract with the next, with no re-authentication in between. Human-in-the-loop flows: pause for approval between steps without losing browser state. The VNC stream lets you watch or take control at any point. Real-time agents: keep a browser open for hours while the agent responds to events as they happen. Task and workflow chaining: run tasks and workflows through the same live browser instance, mixing code-driven and UI-defined automation in a single session.Configuration
Sessions support timeouts from 5 minutes to 24 hours (defaulting to 60 minutes), proxy locations across any of Skyvern’s 21 supported countries, Chrome or Edge browser types, and built-in extensions for ad-blocking and CAPTCHA solving. Every session exposes a live VNC stream.Sessions vs. Profiles
Sessions are live browsers that bill while open. Browser Profiles are saved snapshots of browser state you reuse across days or weeks. You can create a profile from a finished session to save its authenticated state for later.Learn more
