Local browser / Human handoff
Let Codex, Claude Code or your preferred agent work in Chrome or Firefox on your machine. With grip, you handle the sign-in, the agent handles the browser work, and you stay close to the controls.

The job needs a person. Not a dead end.
Google SSO, a password, 2FA or a sign-in CAPTCHA: complete the human step yourself, in the browser on your machine.
Use a dedicated profile for the job. Let the agent open the site and identify the next step.

Two different moments
For a password, SSO or 2FA, step into the uninstrumented browser. Finish authentication, then hand the profile back before the agent fills a long form.

gripui hudDo not cycle through human-drives just for an in-place approval: the restart can discard the form you prepared. Review purchases and make the final commitment yourself.
Your machine. A profile for the job.
Start with a dedicated, persistent browser profile. Sign into the accounts this task needs and reuse it for the next session.
You do not need to paste a password into the agent’s conversation or copy your whole everyday browser profile. The agent still has the authority of the accounts you sign into.
Local browser control is not a guarantee against bot checks or site restrictions. Your chosen AI provider may process page content shared with the agent.

These recordings show agents working through real cloud consoles and deployment tasks. For the sign-in and handback steps, follow the written walkthrough below.
01 / RECORDED SESSION
Watch an agent deploy a Cloudflare Pages site, then configure its DNS through Namecheap. Two dashboards, one browser workflow.
02 / RECORDED SESSION
Codex works through VM creation and deletion across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, using the controls in their real consoles.
A browser on a server instead?
For organizations that want the browser hosted remotely, explore BrowserBox: a server-side browser people can view and control from their own device.
