Kernel

Kernel is browser infrastructure for AI agents and web automations. Founded in 2025 by Catherine Jue (CEO) and Rafael Garcia (CTO) and backed by Accel and Y Combinator (S25), Kernel runs sandboxed Chromium browsers on a unikernel platform with sub-150ms cold starts, built-in stealth mode, residential proxies, CAPTCHA solving, session recording, live view, persistent profiles, and a serverless app platform that co-locates agent code with browsers. Kernel works with Playwright, Puppeteer, Browser Use, Stagehand, Magnitude, Notte, and the Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini computer-use loops. The REST API at api.onkernel.com exposes browsers, browser pools, profiles, proxies, replays, extensions, computer controls, filesystem, processes, Playwright execution, managed auth, credentials, apps, deployments, invocations, and projects.

Kernel publishes 21 APIs on the APIs.io network, including API Keys API, Apps API, Auth Connections API, and 18 more. Tagged areas include Agents, Artificial Intelligence, Browser Automation, Browsers, and Computer Use.

Kernel’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, pricing, changelog, support, CLI, and 20 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/kernel-so: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
