# Browser automation

> Let agents drive a real browser to work inside tools that have no API.

Some work has no API behind it. Sourcing prospects on LinkedIn, pulling data out of a
portal, operating a tool that never shipped an integration — for all of it, agents drive
a **real browser session** through the OpenHive browser bridge.

## Connecting the bridge

Browser skills need a one-time connection before first use. In the
[Skills library](/configuration/skills-library), a skill that drives the browser is
labeled *"Controls the browser via the Hive browser bridge — click to connect"*. Click
it to connect.

## What agents do with it

A typical browser-driven run looks like: open a search or profile, read what's there,
decide whether it fits your target, and record the result to the [CRM](/guides/crm).
Agents can open a profile for you to look at yourself when a call needs your judgment.

<Warning>
  Browser automation is the surface where [rate limits](/configuration/rate-limits)
  matter most. Platforms watch for activity that doesn't look human, and enforcement
  varies by account age and standing. Start conservative on a new account.
