your browser agents can now complete online purchases without ever touching card data. agents on KERNEL now pay on checkout pages using aliases, not card data. we swap in the real credential at egress, so card numbers never touch your agent's runtime or context.

another practical use case for computer-use agents: tourist visa paperwork. congrats to @alymoursy for launching @VeezaAI on yc today. powered by @usekernel browsers.
Today we're launching @VeezaAI (YC F26) - an AI tourist visa agent for people with weak passports. Yes, you read that right. Weak passports. If you have a US or EU passport, you book a flight and go. For the rest of the world, every trip starts with forms, bank statements, and fighting for an appointment. We've suffered through this for 30 years. Those days are coming to an end. Pick your destination. Veeza AI does the paperwork and books the appointment. start at: veeza.ai

sites without an api don't have to stay that way. on KERNEL, an agent writes a helper once in the browser repl, reuses it, and saves it as a webmcp tool.

@alekseykorshuk, head of ml at @coframe on config registry: "about three in four agent sessions on those sites used to hit a bot wall until we found the right browser settings. […] nobody, human or agent, spends time on browser configuration anymore."

Full house at the @neondatabase personal agents hack! @Techweek_ We’re going to see an explosion of personal agents now that the infra is ready… Give your agent search with @ExaAILabs, a browser and the internet with @usekernel, persistent memory with @neondatabase, and its own computer with @flydotio. I think my own end state may look like one conductor agent managing an orchestra of specialized agents. I saw 100+ of these ideas today while judging - travel, food, health, education, finance, companionship, self development, etc

inconsistent website access breaks agent deployments. KERNEL is built to fix exactly that. more soon.
In September 2026, website access is now the single biggest blocker to browser agents working in prod. Model capabilities have been 85%+ solved. We're working on something that solves this for any website. Stay tuned.

"running remote browsers at scale is an infrastructure problem of its own, and we'd rather build on KERNEL's work than operate that infrastructure ourselves. KERNEL provides the cloud browsers and live view; we spend our engineering effort on coordinating the work inside them," @ask_cooper's head of eng, shashank mj, on why their insurance agents run on KERNEL browsers. full post below
