Michael Grinich (Founder & CEO, WorkOS) sat down with Paul Klein IV (Founder & CEO, Browserbase) at the WorkOS booth at AI Engineer World's Fair 2026 — six months after their last catch-up at AWS re:Invent.
Paul explains how Browserbase has grown from browser infrastructure into a full agentic web platform — layering in a search API, a fetch API for structured data, model routing and caching, and a new batteries-included computer-use agent — all built directly from customer requests rather than a fixed roadmap. He and Michael also dig into when model choice actually matters, and the surprisingly unglamorous real-world workflows already being automated today.
Topics include:
• What Browserbase has shipped since AWS re:Invent: search API, fetch API, model gateway, and the new Browserbase Agents
• Why every product decision starts with a customer request, not a roadmap
• Building domain-specific infrastructure instead of stitching together point solutions
• When to use a frontier model like Opus vs. a lightweight model like Haiku for web tasks
• Real customer use cases: healthcare referral automation, insurance prior authorization, and shipping container drayage
• Why speed — not accuracy — is the next big unlock for computer-use agents
• What's got the AI Engineer World's Fair crowd excited in 2026
