Set up Clawbrowser on Windows with Codex

Watch the Windows with Codex setup demo, prepare the browser runtime, connect Codex, and verify your first Clawbrowser session.

Overview

Before Codex can complete browser tasks, it needs a working connection to a browser runtime. This guide accompanies the Windows with Codex installation video and separates preparation, integration, and a first-session check. Use it to understand what to verify before starting research or automation.

What happens in the video

Codex reads the installation instructions and uses the Windows standalone installer. It corrects an empty standard-input attempt while configuring the API key, then launches the browser. The final frames show passing fingerprint and proxy verification checks.

Before you start

  • A Windows machine with Codex available.
  • A Clawbrowser account and API key available through your normal credential setup.
  • The current installation guide linked below.

Step-by-step guide

Practical steps for adapting the recorded task. The video summary above describes the demonstrated result; these checks guide your own run.

  1. Prepare the environment

    Start with a Windows machine with Codex available. Read the current installation guide and choose this environment. Choose the Windows runtime and run the connection check from your Codex workspace. First establish that Codex can open and inspect a simple public page before diagnosing problems with a target website.

  2. Install the runtime

    Follow the official workflow to install Clawbrowser and its control tooling. The video gives a visual reference for Windows with Codex; the installation guide is the source for current commands and packages.

  3. Connect the agent

    Complete the integration for Codex and provide the account configuration requested by setup. Confirm that the agent can discover its browser tools before asking it to perform a website task.

  4. Verify a first session

    Ask Codex to open a public page and return its title and URL. Check that a browser session starts and the agent reports content from that page. Resolve runtime or connection errors before adding logins or multiple tabs.

Suggested prompt

Follow https://clawbrowser.ai/docs/install/ to set up Clawbrowser for Codex in my Windows with Codex environment. Use the current instructions, connect the browser tools, then open https://example.com and report the page title and URL. Explain any setup step that fails.

Adapt the placeholders to your task. This is an example prompt, not a transcript of the recording.

Results

  • A Clawbrowser runtime prepared for Codex.
  • After setup, check the verification result and confirm that your agent can inspect a public page.

Questions about this workflow

Does installing the browser automatically connect Codex?

Treat these as separate checks. Verify that Codex can discover the browser tools and successfully inspect a page.

Should I copy commands from the recording?

Use the current installation guide for commands and downloads. The video is a visual walkthrough and may show an earlier interface.

Put the workflow to work

Prepare the browser connection, then adapt the guide to your task and check its output.
