How to Build Financial Agents That Work Across the Web - Jay Sahnan & Arik Bird, Browserbase
Browser agents enable financial platforms like Ramp to automate portal access at scale
“for any action on the Internet, your agent must have a tool like a browser”
Browserbase presenters Jay Sahnan and Arik Bird demonstrate how browser agents solve a core scaling problem for financial operations companies: accessing data locked behind login-protected portals and bot-resistant sites that lack APIs. They use Ramp's receipt-capture workflow as a case study, showing how manual human teams hit scaling limits that browser agents can overcome. The talk is a practical engineering pitch for browser-based agentic tooling in fintech, though the content is cut off mid-sentence and lacks novel research findings.
