Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface steel-dev/steel-browser, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Add a clear, concise 'What is Steel Browser?' section to the README
Why:
CURRENTThe open-source browser API for AI agents & apps.
COPY-PASTE FIX## What is Steel Browser? Steel Browser is *not* a web browser for human users. It is an open-source, headless browser API and sandbox specifically designed for AI agents and applications to programmatically interact with the web. It provides a managed environment for web automation, similar to a hosted Puppeteer or Playwright, but optimized for AI workflows.
- mediumreadme#2Add a section on how Steel Browser integrates with AI agents and frameworks
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## How Steel Browser Powers AI Agents Steel Browser acts as the 'eyes and hands' for your AI agents, allowing them to browse, click, type, and extract information from any website. It integrates seamlessly with popular AI frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex by providing a robust, scalable web interaction layer, freeing your agents from the complexities of browser infrastructure.
- mediumcomparison#3Add a 'Comparison to Alternatives' section in the README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison to Alternatives Unlike self-hosting Puppeteer or Playwright, Steel Browser provides a fully managed, scalable browser sandbox. Compared to services like Browserless or Apify, Steel is specifically optimized for AI agent workflows, offering a simpler API for complex web interactions without the overhead of managing infrastructure or individual browser instances.
