Browser Use agents can now run on a schedule and work ahead of you, stopping only to get approval
Browser Use is a cloud platform for browser-driving agents, and the August 16 release moves it from on-demand runs to standing automation. V4 agents can be scheduled with pause and resume controls, Automation gets its own entry in Run Settings, and a new Agency skill lets an agent research and prepare work on its own, coming back with follow-ups and asking for approval only before an external action such as sending or publishing. AgentMail is enabled for API runs, agents can configure and disconnect Composio triggers themselves, and bu-2-0-mini-preview joins the model picker while MiniMax M3 leaves it. This lands a week after the X402 release rewrote the free-versus-paid boundary around per-browser-open metering.
Bunny.net is sprinting on edge breadth — AVIF, API Guardian, seamless migration, and Stream API ergonomics in two weeks.
Bunny.net shipped a heavy April-into-May batch across its full surface area: AVIF input/output in the image Optimizer, image upscaling with resampling, seamless domain migration with DNS-verified SSL, and a new Stream 'Add video library' API endpoint that pre-configures encoding, transcribing, and resolutions in one call. Just outside the recent-six window, API Guardian (April 27) added schema-aware OpenAPI enforcement at the edge inside Bunny Shield. The cadence and breadth is closer to a hyperscaler than a niche CDN.

Two consecutive releases have built the same thing from opposite ends: pricing that assumes a program is the buyer, and now runtime behaviour that assumes nobody is watching. Scheduling, self-managed Composio triggers, and mail on API runs are the pieces an agent needs to operate between human sessions rather than inside one, and the approval gate on external actions is where the human is being put instead. The model picker is being pruned rather than expanded - one preview model in, one third-party model out - which reads as consolidation onto its own model line.
Expect the approval gate to develop into a reviewable queue of pending agent actions, and scheduling to gain finer controls now that V4 agents sit alongside legacy jobs; whether the Agency skill becomes the default agent behaviour rather than an opt-in skill is not visible in these entries.

Bunny.net is staying the affordable alternative to Cloudflare and Fastly while matching feature breadth release-by-release. The trajectory keeps adding capabilities up the stack — first CDN, then image optimization, then video streaming, now API security and zero-downtime migration. Each addition is a reason to consolidate workloads on Bunny instead of stitching multiple vendors. Expect continued pressure on the edge incumbents from below.
Watch for AI-related edge primitives — model-serving at the edge, AI inference workers — that would put Bunny.net into Cloudflare Workers AI territory. The Stream API expansion suggests video AI (auto-transcription, scene detection) is also imminent.
