market profile

• text: AI teams need hosted browsers and agents that can navigate dynamic sites, extract structured information and scale concurrent sessions.
• text: The market includes managed cloud browser infrastructure and agent frameworks, with pricing and hosting architecture differing between providers.

personas

• title: AI application engineer
  pains:

  • Browser tasks fail on dynamic pages or require brittle scripts
  • Running and observing remote browser sessions adds infrastructure work
  • High per-step latency and model costs hurt the user experience
• title: Engineering leader for automation infrastructure
  pains:

  • Maintaining many concurrent isolated sessions
  • Meeting customer deployment and authentication requirements
  • Predicting unit economics as agent usage rises

icp

• text: Software teams building web interaction, extraction or research agents, from small prototypes to applications running many concurrent tasks.
• text: Enterprise engineering teams requiring single-tenant, BYOC or SSO options and dedicated support.

message pillars

• text: Let the team focus on agent logic while Smooth runs infrastructure.
• text: Scale browser workloads without managing servers.
• text: Return machine-readable page data.

objections

• objection: Will it work reliably on our particular workflow?
  response: Use the free tier to benchmark completion rate, latency and total cost on representative authorized tasks.
• objection: Can our security requirements be met?
  response: Evaluate the enterprise single-tenant, BYOC and SSO options with security and confirm contractual requirements.
