Browser Use Box ♞

Your 24/7 Claude Code agent with a real browser, on any box you own.

Rent any $5 VPS (Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Mac mini, Raspberry Pi — anything that runs Ubuntu), point one install script at it, and text your agent from anywhere.

$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/browser-use/bux/main/install.sh \
    | sudo BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=bu_xxx bash

Setup prompt

Paste into Claude Code (on your laptop) and it will set up your VPS for you:

Set up https://github.com/browser-use/bux on my remote box.

SSH into it (I'll paste the host below), run install.sh with my BROWSER_USE_API_KEY, and optionally wire up a Telegram bot if I give you a token from @BotFather. Read install.md first. After the install completes, verify the services are running (systemctl is-active bux-browser-keeper bux-ttyd), then become the `bux` user and run `claude /login` so I can complete the OAuth flow. Once logged in, test the setup by asking claude to visit https://browser-use.com and report the page title.

What you get

Claude Code logged in and always on
A real Chromium session via browser-harness — cookies persist, logins stick
A Telegram bot so you can text your agent — pass TG_BOT_TOKEN=xxx to the installer to enable
A web terminal bound to localhost for when SSH is too much
When claude hits a login wall / 2FA / CAPTCHA, it hands you a live view URL and waits — no credential-stuffing, no brittle workarounds

Requirements

A box — Ubuntu 22.04+ with ≥2GB RAM. A $5/mo VPS is fine.
Browser Use Cloud API key — free tier: 3 concurrent browsers, proxies, CAPTCHA solving.
An Anthropic API key or Claude Max subscription (claude asks on first /login).
(optional) A Telegram bot token from @BotFather.

How it works

  telegram ──►  telegram_bot.py ─┐
                                 ├──► claude -p  ──► browser-harness ──► BU Cloud
  browser  ──►  ttyd ────────────┘         │            (cdp over wss)
                                           ▼
                                  /home/bux (persistent state)

Three small services under systemd. Agent state lives in /home/bux, so reboots keep your cookies, skills, and chat history.

Docs

install.md — full install guide and troubleshooting
agent/CLAUDE.md — the context claude loads on every session. Edit it to customize behavior (working dir layout, skill policies, allowed tools), then rerun install.sh — it's idempotent and the next claude turn picks up the change.

Managed offering

If you'd rather not run your own VPS: cloud.browser-use.com provisions a box for you in ~60s — same software, zero setup, one-command bux up via a Claude Code skill.

For teams that already run sales, support, partner onboarding, or operations in Telegram, there is also a $1,000/month managed pilot: one scoped private operator workflow, launched in 7 days, with human handoff and weekly tuning.

The pilot scope, handoff format, and example operator rules are in the managed pilot playbook.

The demo transcript shows the first workflow: Telegram lead triage into a clean human handoff.

The managed Telegram AI operator page is the focused entry point for lead qualification, support triage, and partner onboarding use cases.

The Telegram AI operator for agencies page gives AI automation agencies a managed implementation path for one Telegram-heavy client workflow.

The n8n Telegram AI operator page gives n8n builders a managed Telegram-first operator that hands off cleanly into existing workflows and human approvals.

The Telegram AI operator for crypto and fintech teams packages the same managed pilot for partner, support, ecosystem, and ops teams that triage Telegram requests by hand.

The partner pilot page packages the same $1,000/month workflow as a delivery layer for AI automation agencies with Telegram-heavy clients.

The proof report demo shows the weekly artifact that makes the retainer easy to renew: handled threads, clean handoffs, checks completed, blockers, tuning, and estimated time saved.

The managed pilot terms summarize the $1,000/month scope, first-week deliverables, and acceptance criteria.

Pilot inquiries can start on Telegram or through the managed pilot issue form.
