Session Profiles: Persistent Authentication for Browser Agents

Browser agents re-authenticate on every run because session state doesn't persist. This breaks workflows that rely on logged-in sessions.

Session Profiles solve this.

What are Session Profiles?

Session Profiles save browser state (cookies, cache, and local storage) so your agents stay authenticated across sessions. Log in once manually, and every subsequent session with that profile starts already authenticated.

How it works

Bootstrap a session profile using demonstration mode. Log in to LinkedIn, Gmail, or any authenticated service in a headful browser. Stop the session. All the state persists in storage.

Start a new session with the same profile, and your agent is already logged in. No re-authentication. No manual intervention.

Why it matters

Most valuable web data sits behind login walls. Session Profiles let your agents automate authenticated workflows at scale. Scrape private dashboards, manage SaaS accounts, monitor internal tools.

Authenticate once. Automate everything after.
