About Surf.new
Surf.new is a free, open-source playground for testing and using AI agents that can browse the web. These agents surf the web and interact with webpages similarly to how a human would, making tasks like automation and web research easy and intuitive.
Whether you're a developer evaluating web agents for production use or someone looking to automate repetitive tasks like checking flights, scraping product information, or booking reservations, Surf.new provides an accessible environment to quickly experiment and see how web agents perform.
Key Features:
Swap between AI Agent Frameworks with a button: Supports Browser-use, an experimental Claude Computer-use-based agent, and integrates smoothly with LangChain—allowing easy experimentation with different approaches.
Diverse AI Model Compatibility: Compatible with popular models including Claude 3.7, DeepSeek R1, OpenAI models, Gemini 2.0 Flash, and others—giving you the flexibility to choose what works best.

Agent S
Agent S is an open-source agentic framework built to enable autonomous computer use through an Agent-Computer Interface (ACI). It allows AI agents to operate graphical user interfaces similarly to humans by perceiving screens, reasoning through objectives, and executing actions across macOS, Windows, and Linux systems. The latest release, Agent S3, achieves state-of-the-art results on the OSWorld benchmark and surpasses human-level performance in complex multi-step computer tasks. By combining powerful foundation models such as GPT-5 with grounding models like UI-TARS, the framework translates visual inputs into accurate executable commands. Agent S supports multiple deployment options, including CLI, SDK, and cloud environments. It integrates seamlessly with leading model providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure, and Hugging Face endpoints.
