What are Browser Profiles?

Browser profiles in Browsepilot work just like Chrome profiles - they maintain separate sessions, cookies, login states, and settings. Each profile acts as an isolated browser identity that you can use across multiple conversations and automation tasks.

  2. Click the Manage button

  1. Give your profile a descriptive name (e.g., “Work Notion”, “Personal LinkedIn”, “E-commerce Testing”)

Using Profiles in Conversations

Once saved, your profile is ready to use across any automation task:
"Using my Work Notion profile, create a new page titled 'Q1 Planning' and add today's meeting notes"

The AI agent will automatically use the saved login states, cookies, and settings from your specified profile.

Profile Management Best Practices

Create profiles based on specific use cases: - Personal Social: Facebook, Instagram, personal Twitter - Work Accounts: Slack, Notion, company email, LinkedIn - E-commerce: Amazon, eBay, shopping sites with saved payment info - Development: GitHub, Stack Overflow, development tools - Testing: Clean profiles for testing user flows
  • Separate sensitive accounts: Keep banking/financial accounts in isolated profiles - Regular updates: Update profiles when you change passwords - Clean testing: Use separate profiles for testing to avoid affecting real data - Access control: Each profile maintains its own login states securely
  • Periodic refresh: Reconnect profiles monthly to keep sessions active - Clear descriptions: Use clear names so you remember what each profile is for - Test regularly: Ensure profiles still work before important automation tasks - Update as needed: Add new accounts when your workflow changes

Troubleshooting Profiles

Issue: AI agent can’t access accounts in profile Solutions: - Reconnect to remote browser and re-login to affected accounts - Check if passwords have changed since profile creation - Verify two-factor authentication isn’t blocking access - Clear and rebuild the profile if issues persist
Issue: Accounts keep asking for login even with profile Solutions: - Some sites expire sessions quickly - this is normal - Use the AI agent to handle re-authentication: “If asked to login, use my saved credentials” - For frequently-used accounts, refresh the profile weekly
Issue: Websites are blocking the automated browser Solutions: - Create a new profile with different browser fingerprints - Use profiles intermittently rather than continuously - Contact support if legitimate automation is being blocked
