About
Scout is an open-source browser agent. You describe a task in plain English, and it drives a browser to get structured data back, plus a replay link so you can watch what it did. It can run on Outcrawl's cloud or on your own machine with local Playwright, and it works with any OpenAI-compatible model endpoint, including a local model.
Details
Open source. You run it yourself.
