Market Framing

The addressable surface is every repeated web task an AI agent performs, which is most of what agents are being built to do.

The shift underway is from agents that occasionally browse to agents that run web tasks continuously and at volume, and at volume the browser-first cost structure is the bottleneck rather than the model. Unbrowse sits underneath that workload as the layer that decides whether a task needs a browser at all, which is a position that grows with agent adoption rather than competing with any single agent product.

The reason this is a layer and not a feature is that it is consumed the same way regardless of which agent framework or model sits on top, so it benefits from the whole category expanding instead of betting on one winner. That is the difference between selling a tool an agent chooses and being the path agent traffic routes through.

Where this goes beyond the wedge (the maintained graph becoming shared infrastructure) is deliberately the quieter half of the story; the papers state it plainly without overclaiming it as shipped.
