How Interaction turned Poke into a general-purpose agent with Browserbase

Poke's integration with Browserbase marked a significant turning point in its development, transforming it into a versatile general-purpose assistant. Prior to this partnership, the team at Poke struggled to keep up with demand due to the necessity of building each new capability from scratch, including handling complex authentication flows and edge cases. Browserbase offered a solution by enabling seamless browser sessions that could handle multiple agents concurrently, allowing Poke's agents to access web interfaces that are typically inaccessible via traditional APIs. This advancement facilitated tasks such as flight check-ins by automating interactions with airline websites and delivering boarding passes directly to users via text. The implementation was so effective that users began discovering Poke's new capabilities organically, without them being explicitly released, such as booking and canceling restaurant reservations. Since its public launch, Poke has conducted hundreds of thousands of browser sessions, continuously expanding its capabilities as users find new applications. The collaboration between Interaction and Browserbase continues to grow, with ongoing efforts to develop sample recipes that demonstrate the platform's browser-powered functionalities.
