Notte supports both headless and headful browser sessions. Headful mode is particularly useful for AI agents that need to see the full rendered page - and for live debugging.
Headless mode:
- Faster startup, lower resource usage
- Ideal for scraping and data extraction at scale
- No visible browser window
- Same proxy configuration options
Headful mode:
- Full browser rendering with viewport
- Live view - watch the agent navigate in real time
- Better for debugging complex workflows
- Useful when a workflow needs visible-browser debugging or live inspection
Live view:
Connect to a running session and watch the browser in real time. Useful for:
- Debugging agent behavior during development
- Demonstrating automation to stakeholders
- Monitoring critical workflows as they execute
AI agent compatibility:
Both modes work identically with Notte agents. The AI layer reasons about page content regardless of rendering mode.
Configuration:
Specify the mode when creating a session. Default is headless for performance.
