The browser pool contains Chrome DevTools Protocol sessions that Eigent agents can use.

​
Open a new browser

  1. Open Browser > Connections.
  2. Select Open new browser.
  3. Wait for Eigent to launch the browser and add it to the pool.
The browser item displays its name and debugging port.
Screenshot placeholder: Add a screenshot of the browser pool with two active browsers and their ports.

​
Connect an existing browser

Start Chrome or Chromium with remote debugging enabled. For example: 
google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222
The executable name differs by operating system and installation. Then:
  1. Open Browser > Connections.
  2. Select Connect existing browser.
  3. Enter the remote-debugging port.
  4. Select Connect.
Eigent checks http://localhost:<port>/json/version before adding the browser.

​
Choose a port

Use a port from 1 to 65535. The port must:
  • Belong to a running CDP-enabled browser
  • Not already exist in the Eigent browser pool
  • Be reachable from the Eigent application

​
Remove a browser

  1. Find the browser in the pool.
  2. Select its delete action.
  3. Confirm the removal.
Removing a browser disconnects it from Eigent. It does not necessarily close an external browser process.

​
Use the browser in a task

  1. Ensure a Browser worker is available.
  2. Start a task that requires web interaction.
  3. Open the Browser agent workspace in the Session.
  4. Use Take Control when the agent requests manual interaction.
Video placeholder: Add a 60-second MP4 showing Chrome started with remote debugging, connection through port 9222, and a successful Browser-agent navigation. Include captions.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Invalid port

Enter a whole number between 1 and 65535.

​
Port already in use

The port is already registered in the browser pool. Use the existing item or start another browser on a different port.

​
No browser found

Confirm that the browser is running with remote debugging and that /json/version responds.

​
The browser disappears after restart

External browser processes and ports can change. Start the browser again and reconnect it.
