Airtop

Airtop built the agent-browser primitives quickly in early 2025, then went quiet.

Current state
Airtop is a browser-automation API aimed at AI agents — the kind of plumbing layer LLM-driven workflows need to actually click, type, scroll, and download on real websites. The visible release stream covers the predictable scaffolding: form filling with AI, file uploads and downloads, scroll interactions, captcha solving, residential proxies, n8n integration, session recording.
Where it's heading
The cadence is uneven. Airtop shipped fast in February through April 2025 — most of the core agent-browser primitives landed in those weeks — and then went largely quiet, with only a session-recording release in September 2025 visible since. That's either a sign of pivoting attention to platform-side work that isn't surfaced publicly, or that the public roadmap has slowed while competitors like Browserbase and Steel keep iterating in the open.
Prediction
If Airtop is still actively building, expect the next public releases to be on the model-agnostic agent-runtime layer — possibly a hosted agent execution surface or richer context-passing between an LLM and the browser session. If the slowdown reflects a deeper strategic shift, the next signal will be repositioning content rather than feature releases.

    Recording a session

    Per-window video recording lands as a standard observability primitive — important for debugging agent runs in production but also the only release in a five-month gap, which says as much as the feature itself.

    File Uploading

    File uploading via file-input elements rounds out the file-handling surface alongside the earlier downloading API — required scaffolding for agents that interact with document-based workflows.
