Introducing Browser Pools — instant browsers with the logins, cookies, and extensions your agents depend on. Designed to make using Kernel even faster.

we've partnered with @anthropicai to give @claudeai managed agents browser capabilities for the first time. now, managed agents can navigate and interact with the web to complete long horizon, scheduled, and complex tasks — without managing infra. x.com/claudeai/status/206474…

New from Code with Claude Tokyo: scheduled deployments and environment variables in vaults are in public beta in Claude Managed Agents, and dynamic workflows in Claude Code are generally available. Agents now run on a schedule, use your tools securely, and take on bigger jobs.

until today, @claudeai managed agents were siloed to first-party integrations. with kernel, they now have browser access and managed auth across any authenticated service — without the agent ever seeing or touching user credentials. our blog shares more: kernel.sh/blog/claude-manage…

kernel is now integrated with @stripe projects. this partnership moves us closer to a world where an agent's stack is simply invokable, composable code. x.com/stripe/status/20647276…

use the @stripe cli to spin up kernel browsers with 2 loc. stripe projects allows your agent to connect to kernel, choose a plan, and provision api keys without ever using the dashboard. get started here: kernel.sh/docs/integrations/…

agents are changing infra requirements. our co-founder and ceo, @juecd__ spoke at the replay conference by @temporalio to share lessons learned from giving agents access to the internet at human speed youtube.com/watch?v=ZqA3R18F…

the trick that makes @usekernel fast: we pay the full 5-10s of starting chromium once, snapshot ram to nvme, and resume in ~30ms when a request lands. from the outside it looks like a giant warm pool. under the hood it's mostly cold disk. wrote up how we got here.

.@stably_ai uses kernel to build an ai-powered end-to-end testing platform. by switching to kernel, they saw 333x faster cold starts and eliminated infra-caused test flakiness. "we evaluated many options, and kernel is the only one that could deliver the performance all of our customers' test suites required." - jinjing liang, co-founder & ceo, stably

.@stardrift_ai uses KERNEL to build an ai travel planner that handles everything from planning and booking your trips to identifying which flights have starlink. “KERNEL is clearly the superior product. it just has all the hard things set up really easily.” - leila clark, ceo & founder, stardrift

A little known fact about me is that I once bootstrapped an entire year by winning hackathons. I remember pulling all-nighters (a pre-LLM era), eating lots of pizza, and presenting live demos on-stage. So it was a surreal experience seeing a room full of developers building with @usekernel for our hackathon hosted with @tzafon_company — we saw healthtech automation, Wispr for CUA, and simulated swarms running hundreds of browsers in parallel (the winner). The best part was getting to see users with KERNEL up close. There's no better feeling. Thanks Tzafon for co-hosting this awesome event and congrats to the winners!

if you're building with @e2b, it's now easier than ever to give your agents access to the internet.

Running a headless browser inside your agent sandbox is the default, but it can be brittle. Cold starts. CAPTCHAs. Auth state lost on restart. Proxies. Our new template built with friends @usekernel splits the loop. The agent runtime runs in the e2b sandbox. The browser runs on Kernel, which handles cold start, CAPTCHA, residential proxies, and session persistence across hours. Connect them over CDP. Three things you can build with it this weekend. → Screenshot app endpoints. Deploy a web app in a sandbox, screenshot every route. → Agent data extraction. Let an LLM autonomously browse and extract data. → Live browser preview. Watch the browser in real time via Kernel's live view. Try the guide today!

today we’re rolling out managed auth 2.0 — now 8x more reliable in our internal benchmarks. it's your standard interface for managing auth for all your agents across any site. 2fa/sso/1password and re-auth automagically handled.
