About Anchor

Anchor provides fully managed, humanized cloud Chromium browsers that let AI agents plan and execute reliable web automation on any website, with or without APIs. It handles authentication (including SSO and MFA), bypasses bot detection and CAPTCHAs, and only invokes AI at runtime when a step actually requires it, keeping tasks deterministic and efficient. It scales to millions of concurrent browsers and can be deployed in a customer's own cloud environment.
