The Hook
The Rise of AI Agents and Their Current Limitations
“browsing. AI agents are becoming the primary way we interact with the web, from booking your flights and ordering your takeout to doing enterprise research. But today's AI agents are unreliable. They fail when they encounter a pop-up, an auth wall, or even a simple CAPTCHA. Wasting your tokens. When a pop-up appears. Or when an auth wall gets in the way. They have no understanding of the underlying page structure.”

browsing AI Search increased 187% in 2025 The rapid growth of AI-driven traffic AI-driven traffic accelerated sharply in 2025, with monthly volumes growing by 187% from January to December, nearly tripling over the year. This growth was not linear. Total AI-driven traffic nearly quadrupled between January and October, peaking at 3.61x January's volume before settling into a plateau for the final two months. The bulk of this traffic—more than 95%—centered on three industries: retail and e-commerce, streaming and media, and travel and hospitality. Retail and media verticals accounted for more than 80% of the increase, and e-commerce alone drove roughly half of that spike. AI-driven traffic by month, 2025 Indexed to January, 2025. Includes training crawlers, scrapers, AI agents, and agentic browsers.

AI bots could outnumber human web usage by 2027, according to Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince, as agent-driven browsing explodes alongside generative AI adoption. Prince made the prediction at SXSW, warning that bots are already reshaping how the internet is used – and how it's monetized. Why we care: Search is shifting from human clicks to AI-generated answers. If bots become the web's primary "users," you'll need to reshape your strategy to ensure AI systems can access, trust, and use your content!

Camera
Alternates between medium shots of founders speaking directly to the camera and close-up screen recordings of web pages, often with a slight zoom or pan to highlight specific elements.
Motion
Fast cuts between live-action and screen recordings, text overlays, highlighted UI elements, and subtle camera movements to maintain engagement. Sound design emphasizes 'failure' points with sharp impacts.
Problem Agitation
The Unreliability of Current AI Agents
“They have no understanding of the underlying page structure. To fix this, we're building StableBrowse. StableBrowse gives web agents persistent memory. That encode page semantics and execution patterns. The result: 99.9% reliability at scale and four times faster execution. This unlocks a whole new class of web agents for enterprise research, customer support, and sales automation.”

Continues with founder close-ups and screen recordings, but introduces more dynamic motion graphics to illustrate the problem and solution. Camera pans across the team at [0:10].
Motion
Animated data visualizations (knowledge graphs, flowcharts) with glowing outlines and connecting lines. Key metrics (99.9% reliability, -75% token efficiency, 4x faster execution) are presented as animated cards with subtle bounce and glow effects. A significant riser and sub-bass drop at [0:32] mark the transition to the solution.

Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the stablebrowse-tech-launch template.

MetricCardPop

A rectangular card with an icon and text appears, often with a subtle scale-up and glow effect, then quickly transitions to reveal a numerical metric or percentage with a counting animation.

+ Code construction recipe

Use `spring()` for scale and opacity. Implement a `useCurrentFrame()` and `interpolate()` for the numerical count animation. Apply a `box-shadow` with a `glow` effect using `filter: drop-shadow()` for the initial appearance.

KnowledgeGraphFlow

Nodes and connecting lines animate into view, illustrating a data flow or relationship. Nodes often have a subtle pulsing glow, and lines draw themselves between them.

+ Code construction recipe

Render SVG paths for lines with `stroke-dasharray` and `stroke-dashoffset` animated using `interpolate()` to create a drawing effect. Nodes can be `div` elements with `scale` and `opacity` animated via `spring()`, and a `radial-gradient` for the glow effect.

ScreenRecordingHighlight

A screen recording plays, and specific UI elements (buttons, text fields, pop-ups) are highlighted with a glowing border or a semi-transparent overlay, often accompanied by a subtle zoom or pan.

+ Code construction recipe

Overlay a transparent `div` with a `border` and `box-shadow` animated using `spring()` for the highlight effect. Use `transform: scale()` and `translate()` on the video element, controlled by `interpolate()`, for the zoom and pan.
