Browser Operator Core v0.4.0 Release Notes
Browser Operator Core v0.4.0 represents a transformative leap in AI agent capabilities. By introducing a virtual file system and web rendering engine, agents can now handle complex, multi-step workflows that were previously impossible. Agents can manage their own temporary state across long-running tasks, generate rich interactive content like reports and presentations, and create learning materials such as interactive flashcards - all within the browser environment.
✨ New Features
Extended Agent Intelligence & Persistence
- Stateful Long-Running Tasks: Agents can now use the file system to maintain context and temporary states across extended workflows, breaking through previous memory limitations
- Complex Task Orchestration: Multi-step processes that require intermediate data storage and retrieval are now possible
- Persistent Working Memory: Agents can save, retrieve, and update information throughout lengthy operations without losing context
Virtual File System & Web Asset Management
- In-Browser File Storage: New virtual file system enables creation, storage, and management of code files directly in the browser using IndexedDB
- Session-Scoped Storage: Files are properly isolated per DevTools session, ensuring clean workspace separation
- 8 New Development Tools:
- Create, read, update, and delete files
- List and check file existence
- Render web applications in sandboxed iframes
- Retrieve form data and user interactions from rendered apps
Web Application Rendering
