Kernel browsers expose three control primitives. For agents, we recommend [computer controls](/browsers/computer-controls)they match how computer-use models actually drive a computer, and they sidestep the bot-detection surface that CDP introduces.

Computer controls are built to match how computer-use models were trained — the same primitives the model emits (screenshot, click at coords, type, key, scroll, drag) map 1:1 onto Kernel's API. There's no harness translating model output into framework calls.

- **Native fit.** Screenshot, click, type, key, scroll, drag — the primitives the model already speaks. Kernel uses these same controls in its own [managed auth](/auth/overview) agent.
116116
- **Faster screenshots.** Captures bypass CDP, which removes the largest source of latency in a vision loop.
117117
- **Better against bot detection.** No CDP connection means no CDP fingerprint to leak. Pairs naturally with [stealth mode](/browsers/bot-detection/stealth) and [residential proxies](/proxies/residential).
118118
- **Human-like input.** OS-level events with Bézier-curve mouse paths, variable typing speed, and configurable mistype rate.
119119
- **Not DOM-limited.** Screenshots capture the full VM, so the agent can see and interact with native dialogs, canvas elements, iframes, and PDFs — not just things you can address with a selector.

The two things computer controls don't do natively: read the DOM, and take a full-page screenshot. The recommended pattern for agents is **computer controls for interaction, [Playwright execution](/browsers/playwright-execution) as a DOM-reading tool** when the agent needs structured data.
