How to Enter Browser in Proxy AI Agent

Key takeaways:

• You can jump into the Proxy AI browser session and interact like a real user.
• This helps when the AI gets stuck, like on a CAPTCHA.
• Use the “Pause Proxy” and “Web Browser” buttons to take control. 🖱️

Ever tried using a Proxy AI agent and watched it get stuck on a web page? Maybe it can’t solve a CAPTCHA or just keeps looping, missing something only a human would catch. Yeah, that’s a thing. The good news: you can actually step in, take over the browser session, and finish the job yourself. This guide breaks down how to do it, what to expect, and why sometimes human touch is still needed with AI agents.

Why You’d Want to Enter the Proxy AI Browser Session

So, here’s the deal: Proxy agents are pretty smart, but they’re not perfect. Some tasks—like solving CAPTCHAs or weird popups—are just too much for them. When that happens, you can step in and interact with the same session the AI is using. It’s like tag-teaming with your AI, but you get the final say.

How to Know When the AI Agent Needs Help

Usually, you’ll notice the agent is stuck if:

• It keeps repeating the same action
• It can’t solve a CAPTCHA
• You get a message saying you need to finish the task yourself

Sometimes, the agent will even prompt you to step in. But if it doesn’t, you can still take over manually.

Step-by-Step: Taking Over the Browser Session in Proxy

1. Start a New Task with Proxy AI Agent

Kick off your task like normal. Maybe you want the agent to grab info from a site, but you know there’s a CAPTCHA coming up. Let the agent try first.

2. Wait and Watch for Stuck Behavior

If the agent can’t get past something, it’ll either tell you or just keep looping. Give it a few seconds to see if it figures things out.

3. Pause the Proxy Agent

When you see the agent is stuck, look for the “Pause Proxy” button in the interface. Click it to pause the current automation.

4. Hit the Web Browser Button

After pausing, you’ll see an orange “Web Browser” button. Click that, and a new window or box pops up. This is the virtual browser the AI was using. Now it’s yours.

5. Interact with the Page

Inside this browser window, you can:

• Click elements (buttons, images, etc.)
• Scroll the page
• Type into forms

It’s almost like regular browsing, except it’s a remote session—so it might be a little laggy or blurry. That’s normal.

6. Solve the Problem (Like a CAPTCHA)

Do whatever the AI couldn’t. For example, pick the right images for a CAPTCHA, click submit, or handle popups.

7. Submit the State to the AI Agent

Once you’ve fixed the issue, look for the “Submit” button in the session window. Click it, and the AI takes over again from where you left off. The agent will now continue the task with the updated page.

8. Let the Agent Finish the Job

Now, the AI should be able to copy the code, finish the task, or do whatever you needed. If something else pops up, you can always repeat the process.

What to Expect When Using the Proxy Browser Session

• It might be slow or blurry. That’s just how remote browsers work.
• You can only take over if the session is still live. If the AI finishes or the session times out, you can’t jump in anymore.
• This only works for active sessions. If you’re running scheduled tasks, you might miss the chance to help.

When Human Intervention is Actually Needed

AI is cool, but it’s not magic. Some things—like CAPTCHAs—are designed to block bots. That’s where you come in. It’s all about teamwork: let the AI do the boring stuff, and you step in when things get tricky.

Tips for a Smoother Proxy Browser Experience

• Don’t wait too long to step in—the session might close if left idle.
• If the page is super blurry, try resizing the window or refreshing.
• Only use this feature when you really need to. It’s not meant for everyday browsing.

What Happens After You Submit the Page State

Once you hit submit, the AI picks up right where you left off. If you solved a CAPTCHA, the agent can now access the data or complete the task. If it needs more help, you can always pause and jump back in.

Common Problems and How to Handle Them

• Session ended: If the browser session closes, you’ll need to restart the task.
• Page not loading: Try refreshing or pausing and resuming the session.
• AI still stuck: Sometimes, even after you help, the AI might not get it. You might need to repeat or change your approach.

Staying Secure While Using Proxy Browser

Since you’re interacting with a remote browser, always be careful with sensitive info. Don’t enter passwords or personal data unless you trust the environment.

Wrapping Up: Why Proxy Browser Access Matters

This feature is a lifesaver when AI just can’t handle a task. It’s not perfect, but it’s the bridge between full automation and real-world web challenges. You get the best of both worlds—automation when possible, human touch when needed. And honestly, that’s the state of AI agents right now.
