Browser agents or APIs?
When to call an API, when to open a browser, and when to use a full desktop.
APIs are fast, cheap and reliable, so use them whenever they exist. But many important systems have no API, or only a partial one.
- Use connectors when an API covers the task.
- Use browser agents for websites and portals.
- Use computer use for desktop and legacy applications.
