The Browser Bro Monitoring Agent LITE is a versatile assistant for keeping tabs on the websites, data and information you care about — without overwhelming you or your budget.
AI inference costs money, so smart configuration is essential.
With a little bit of effort, and knowing what you want, you can make your Browser Bro AI Agent extremely cost effective.
*/ Please make sure you understand how much your agent will cost you. *\

Cost Model

The Browser Bro Agent LITE sends tokens (text chunks, image data, etc.) to your selected model (OpenAI). Costs depend on:

• How often the agent sends updates
• How much content is included in the payload
  Are you sending just text Are you sending image data? or both?
• Which AI model you’ve selected (Currently only GPT4+ can reliably do monitoring work.  Mini and nano return too many false alarms and are not recommended.)

Optimization Is Everything

To avoid unnecessary spending and to focus your agent’s brainpower, you must optimize what gets sent. Browser Bro gives you several tools to do this:

• Specify which part of the website to include – Be precise over what you need to send.  Use the include, exclude settings for each of the browsers you are including in the payload.
• Only send images if it requires.
• Target Specific DOM Nodes: Instead of sending the whole page, just send what’s inside #product-list, .price-block, or #status-area.  For this purpose, each of the 16 possible browsers have their own settings of what parts of the website to include each time the agent runs.
• Use dom2img Screenshots: Rather than raw HTML, send clean, cropped screenshots of key elements — reducing tokens and improving visual fidelity.
• All this can be done in just a few steps, and is specified in the settings of each of the browsers.  Check the tutorial section of Browser Bro’s help menu for a full tutorial on how to do this, even if its your first time
