Kernel is easy to use and immensely powerful. They do the heavy lifting of the technical challenges of web agents, allowing us to focus on other facets of our product.

@YuhuangOu

Our team tried many solutions, but Kernel was the only one that worked. With Kernel, our team is able to scale our agentic fraud detection workflows with ease. Thank you!

I literally just added 5 lines of code to my existing agents and was up and running in under an hour - oh, and it's wicked fast.

Kernel provides a critical infra layer for agentic commerce. Headless browsers will soon be used everywhere just like the shift to cloud computing.
