# Live Browser

> Let Julius open and control a real web browser to interact with pages on your behalf.

The **live browser** lets Julius operate an actual web browser — opening pages, clicking buttons, filling forms, and navigating multi-step flows — instead of just summarizing search results.

This is different from Julius's built-in web search, which is designed for quick lookups. The live browser is for tasks that require real interaction with a website.

***

## What Julius can do with the live browser

* Open any URL
* Click buttons and links
* Type into forms and search fields
* Apply filters and navigate dropdowns
* Move through multi-step workflows
* Read content that only appears after JavaScript loads or after user interaction (e.g. tabs, expandable sections)

***

## When to use it

The live browser is the right tool when the task involves **using** a website, not just finding information on one.

## How to use it

Just ask in plain English. Julius will decide when the live browser is the right tool for the job.

**Example prompts:**

> Open this website and find the pricing page

> Search this site for their refund policy

> Go through the booking flow until the payment page

> Compare these three products on their official websites

Julius will open the browser and show you what it's doing in real time.

## Login, CAPTCHA, and human steps

Some sites require actions Julius can't complete on your behalf:

* Entering your password
* Two-factor authentication
* Completing a CAPTCHA
* Confirming a human verification step

When Julius hits one of these, it **pauses and hands control to you** so you can complete that step yourself. Once you're done, Julius picks up where it left off.

<Note>
  Julius will never enter your passwords or credentials. Login steps always require your direct input.
