Things your AI can do in Kernel
Your FormWise AI can handle any of these in Kernel — on its own, without you needing to click a button.
Batch Computer Actions
Execute 1-100 computer actions sequentially in a Kernel browser, stopping on the first error. Actions can click, type, press keys, and submit forms or cause other irreversible external effects.
Browser Curl
Send a read-only GET, HEAD, or OPTIONS request through a Kernel browser's network stack, inheriting its cookies, TLS fingerprint, proxy settings, and default headers. For POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE, use Browser HTTP Request.
Browser HTTP Request
Send a state-changing POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE request through a Kernel browser's network stack, inheriting its cookies, TLS fingerprint, proxy settings, and default headers. The target may change external systems irreversibly. For GET, HEAD, or OPTIONS, use Browser Curl.
Click
Click at browser viewport coordinates with an optional mouse button, click phase, modifiers, and repetition count. A click can submit forms, place orders, or cause other irreversible external effects.
Create Browser
Create a Kernel browser session; defaults to a headless browser with a 60-second inactivity timeout.
Create Profile
Create an empty persistent browser profile, optionally with a unique name, for reuse by later browser sessions.
Delete Browser
Permanently end and delete a Kernel browser session by ID or name.
Delete Playwright Executor
Stop and permanently delete a named, non-default Playwright executor from a Kernel browser. Its running call fails, its name can be reused, and close_tab controls whether its tab is also closed. To restart the reserved default executor, use Restart Default Playwright Executor.
Delete Profile
Permanently delete a browser profile by ID or name.
Download Profile
Download a profile's stored browser state. Current profiles return the requested tar.zst or uncompressed tar format; legacy profiles may return JSON regardless of the requested format. The profile must have captured state from a browser session.
Drag Mouse
Drag a mouse button through an ordered path of browser viewport coordinates, with optional timing, linear-step, and modifier controls. A drag can move items, submit controls, or cause other irreversible external effects.
Execute Playwright
Execute arbitrary TypeScript or JavaScript with Playwright access to the browser; the code may navigate, mutate pages, submit forms, or cause irreversible external effects.
Show 23 more things it can do
Get Browser
Get safe operational details for one browser session by ID or name, optionally including a deleted session.
Get Mouse Position
Get the current mouse cursor coordinates in a Kernel browser session.
Get Profile
Get one browser profile by its ID or exact name.
Get Replay
Download a completed browser replay as MP4. If the replay is still processing, the action asks the caller to retry later.
List Browsers
List browser sessions, optionally filtered by lifecycle state, search text, tags, or region, one offset page at a time.
List Playwright Executors
List the default and named Playwright executors for a Kernel browser, including whether each is busy and its owned tab when available.
List Profiles
List browser profiles, optionally filtered by substring or exact name, one offset page at a time.
List Replays
List replay recordings for a headful browser session without returning signed viewer URLs.
Move Mouse
Move the cursor to browser viewport coordinates, optionally using a timed human-like path and held modifier keys.
Press Key
Press an ordered sequence of X11 keys or key chords in a browser, optionally holding modifiers or holding the sequence for a duration. Key presses may submit forms, activate controls, or trigger other irreversible external effects.
Read Clipboard
Read the current text from a Kernel browser session's clipboard.
Rename Profile
Rename a Kernel browser profile by ID or exact name. Rename profiles only when they are not in use because sessions referencing the old name may fail to save their changes.
Restart Default Playwright Executor
Restart a Kernel browser's reserved default Playwright executor. Its process is stopped and any running call fails irreversibly; queued and later calls run on the new process. This does not delete a named executor or close a tab.
Save Browser Profile
Save a running browser's current state to exactly one destination profile ID or name, creating a named profile when needed and overwriting an existing destination. This restarts the browser, closes all active connections, reloads pages, and loses in-memory page state; reconnect after completion. It does not attach the profile or enable save_changes.
Scroll
Scroll horizontally or vertically at browser viewport coordinates, optionally while holding modifier keys.
Set Cursor Visibility
Hide or show the cursor in a Kernel browser session.
Start Replay
Start recording a headful Kernel browser session and return its replay identifier and recording metadata without exposing its signed viewer URL.
Stop Replay
Stop an active replay recording for a Kernel browser identified by ID or name.
Take Screenshot
Capture the full browser viewport or a rectangular region as a PNG download.
Type Text
Type text into the currently focused browser element with an optional per-keystroke delay.
Update Browser
Update mutable settings on an existing Kernel browser session.
Upload Browser Extensions
Upload and activate one or more unpacked Chromium extension ZIP archives in an existing running browser. This ad-hoc operation does not add extensions to Kernel's reusable extension catalog. Chromium may restart, disrupting active browser connections.
Write Clipboard
Write text to the system clipboard of a Kernel browser session.
Built for the way you actually work
No code, no engineers
Connect in a few clicks and start using your AI right away. If you can use the apps you already love, you can do this.
Sounds like you, not like a bot
Train your AI on your offer, your voice, and the way you actually talk to clients — it picks up where you leave off.
Plugs into the stack you already use
No need to rip out your CRM, your scheduler, or your email tool. Your AI works inside the apps running your business today.
Your data stays yours
Client conversations, lists, and credentials are scoped to your workspace. Nothing gets shared, sold, or used to train anyone else’s AI.
What you can do once Kernel is connected
Onboard new clients without lifting a finger
When someone signs up, your AI greets them, sets up their next step in Kernel, and keeps the momentum going — even at 2am.
Reply to leads in seconds, not days
Your AI watches Kernel for new inquiries, answers questions in your voice, and books the call before they cool off.
Get your weekends back
Hand off the repetitive Kernel work — follow-ups, reminders, updates, simple admin — and stop being the bottleneck in your own business.

Questions other Kernel users had before signing up
Do I need to know how to code?
Not even a little. If you can use Kernel today, you can set this up. You'll connect Kernel, tell your AI what it should help with, and you're live. The whole thing is built for coaches, course creators, agencies, and operators — not engineers.
Will my clients know they're talking to an AI?
Only if you want them to. Your FormWise AI is trained on your voice, your offer, and the way you actually communicate — so it sounds like a thoughtful team member, not a clunky chatbot. Most people can't tell.
Can I make it sound like me?
Yes. You can give your AI examples of how you write, the questions you usually ask new clients, the way you handle objections, and the language you use about your offer. The more you give it, the more it sounds like you wrote it.
What if I want to take over a conversation?
You're always in control. You can step in at any point, take over from your AI, or stop it from sending messages until you've reviewed them. Think of it as a teammate, not a replacement.
Is my client data safe?
Yes. Your Kernel login and client information stay scoped to your workspace. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and we don't use your data to train anyone else's AI. You can disconnect Kernel or delete everything any time.
What happens when Kernel updates their app?
We handle it. When Kernel adds new features or changes how something works, we update the integration in the background. You don't have to do anything — your AI just keeps working.
How fast can I actually get this running?
Most people are up and running the same day they sign up. Connecting Kernel takes a few minutes. Teaching your AI to handle the work the way you'd want it done is the part worth slowing down for.
What is FormWise?
FormWise is the AI agent builder for coaches, course creators, and agencies. You connect the apps you already use — like Kernel — train your AI on your offer and voice, and let it handle the work you've been doing manually: onboarding, follow-ups, support, admin. No code, no developers, no engineering team required.
Can I sell AI agents to my clients?
Yes. A lot of FormWise users build AI assistants and sell them as part of their offer — done-for-you AI setups, white-label assistants for client businesses, custom GPTs trained on a client's brand. You can charge a setup fee, a monthly retainer, or both.
Can I embed my AI on my website or in my course?
Yes. Every AI you build in FormWise can be embedded on your site, dropped into your course platform, or shared as a standalone link. Your clients and students just open it like any other web page — no app to download, no login hoops.
Do I need to know anything about AI to use this?
No. If you can describe what you want your AI to do in plain English — "greet new clients, ask these 3 questions, book them a call" — FormWise can build it. We handle the models, the prompts, the connections. You handle the part you already know: what your business actually needs.
About Kernel on FormWise
