Scaling up

The local dendrite browser is great for development, but if you want to start scaling up you’ll need to use the RemoteDendriteBrowser. With this class you script is ran remotely in the cloud. Right now we only support Browserbase for hosting browsers, so you’ll need to create an account at Browserbase.

​
Get recipe

In the example below we’ll use DendriteRemoteBrowser to find suitable recipes on a Swedish cooking website. The goal is to be create a function like this, that can be called by a cooking AI agent: 
recipe = find_recipe(
    "tacos", 
    "Get a vegetarian recipe and that takes less than 30 mins to make"
)
print(recipe)
Which prints: 
Tacos with Beans and Crispy Grilled Cheese

Ingredients:
- 1 can of corn (340 g)
- 1 can of mixed cooked beans (380 g)
...
Here is the entire script:
