Some work needs a real browser — reading a supplier portal, filling a form, downloading a report. A Relay's equipment is a browser or computer it can drive. Tick Browser or Computer in What it can use, then set it up under More → Equipment on the Relay.
Providers
| Provider | Gives the Relay |
|---|---|
| This server (local Chromium) | A browser running on your Agent Serve server. Available outside production by default; in production your administrator turns it on. |
| Browserbase (hosted browser) | A browser hosted by Browserbase. Needs Browserbase keys configured by your administrator. |
| E2B (isolated cloud computer) | A separate cloud computer, with its own browser. Needs E2B configured by your administrator. |
A provider that is not configured shows needs setup.
Setup options
- Allowed destinations — the sites the Relay may visit, one per line.
*allows any public site. Private networks stay blocked unless you list them. - Profile — Keeps sign-ins between sessions (default), or Starts clean every session.
- Suspend when idle (minutes) — 1 to 240, default 10.
- Downloads folder — where downloads are saved in the Library (default Relay downloads).
- Shell commands — Off, or Allowed (isolated machine only).
Click Save, or Save and provision to start it. Equipment moves through Not set up, Set up, not provisioned, Provisioning, Ready, and can show Needs attention, Suspended, Deleting, Deleted, or Failed. Use Provision or Retry, Resume, Suspend, and Delete to manage it.
Watch, take over, and return control
The Equipment panel, and the Relay's Live tab, show a live view of the Relay's screen. Click Take over to drive it yourself — for example to sign in to a site. While you have control, the Relay waits: "You have control. [Relay name] cannot act until you give it back." Use the address bar, Type, and Enter, then click Return control.
What needs approval
Browsing and reading are part of the task. Any browser action that changes something outside the session — submitting a form, buying something, sending a message — stops for a review first. Screenshots and other evidence are saved on the job.
You can also teach a Relay a routine by doing it once on its browser.
Channels under Email, phone and calendar in the Equipment panel can only be requested for now; they show Requested · needs setup. Use the Email and Calendar choices in setup to send email and book meetings.
