Anchor

Secure infrastructure for computer use agents.

Visit Anchor

Anchor is a cloud-hosted browser infrastructure that lets AI agents interact with websites through managed, humanized Chromium instances. It addresses web tasks that lack traditional APIs, such as navigating pages, submitting forms, handling cookies, and managing authenticated sessions, by providing secure environments where agents can browse as a human would.

Key capabilities include OmniConnect for authentication lifecycle management, Anchor VPN for enterprise networking, Anchor Chromium as a stealth-oriented browser fork, Web Action Cache for deterministic task execution, and Web-Bot-Auth verification. Workloads are defined in natural language, then integrated through an SDK, MCP, or automation platforms. It supports bring-your-own-cloud deployment and custom inference providers.

Anchor targets SaaS builders, service providers, enterprises, and system integrators across industries including finance, commerce, healthcare, and government. Packaging includes a free plan with monthly credits and limited concurrent browsers, paid tiers (Starter, Team, Growth) with credit allotments and overage pricing, and a custom Enterprise edition. Usage is credit-based, with concurrent browser limits scaling by tier.
