Introduction
What is Simplex?
Simplex is the web agent platform for developers that will take you from zero to production for automated action-based workflows on the web in a few lines of code.
We provide everything you need to build production-grade, highly scalable action-based web workflows:
- Headless browsers that can scale to 100s of concurrent sessions in seconds
- Automatic CAPTCHA solving and anti-bot protections (often called “stealth” browsing)
- Workflow caching/optimizations to ensure workflows are consistent (and run in real-time if necessary)
- Fast failure of workflows if errors are encountered or the web agent can’t find an element (no hallucinations!)
- A dashboard to monitor and manage your workflows (see successes, failures, and detailed logging for each flow run)
- A robust Python + TypeScript SDK that provides easy use of our custom web agents
- Non-agentic SDK functions to handle file upload/download, browser dialogs, network requests, and more
- Authentication SDK functions to handle 2FA, cookies, etc. on your customers’ sites
- Eval harnesses to stress-test your workflows at scale and emulate production conditions
- Lightning fast support via Slack/text/call any time, day or night

Using Simplex
The rest of the Getting Started section explains Simplex’s fundamental concepts (session creation, taking actions, managing login credentials, and handling session replays) using Simplex’s SDK.
