fastbrowse Citation-Verified Workflow Retainer (7-10 days)
Agencies build one repeatable browser workflow per client using fastbrowse's cited answers and scoped secrets, then operate it on a monthly retainer with step traces and model spend visible to the client.
- Model provider API key from OpenRouter, AI Gateway, or TypeSafe for fastbrowse runs
- fastbrowse CLI plus Python or JavaScript SDK installed, and MCP server connected to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor
- A public practice site to validate local Chrome and cloud browser execution before touching client credentials
- Client sign-off on the single web workflow to automate (competitor price checks, review monitoring, form filling, or data extraction)
- Named scoped secrets created for each client credential so values resolve only on the permitted origin
- 1.Install fastbrowse CLI and SDK, provision the model provider key, and confirm the MCP server connects to Claude Code or Cursor
- 2.Run a local Chrome execution against a public practice site to verify page control indexing and action selection
- 3.Create the first named scoped secret and confirm it resolves on the permitted origin without entering the model prompt
- 1.Translate the client workflow into a natural-language task instruction with an optional starting URL
- 2.Define a Pydantic or Zod output schema so fastbrowse returns structured results the client dashboard can consume
- 3.Run the workflow end to end and inspect the step trace for re-observation behavior between actions
- 1.Test the irreversible-action pause by triggering a checkout or form submission and confirming authorization is required
- 2.Verify verbatim quoted page text appears in the answer and matches the live page before the task reports complete
- 3.Record a session video and note step count and model cost for the client's first run
- 1.Move the validated workflow to a cloud browser run and compare step traces against the local Chrome baseline
- 2.Configure webhooks on the Starter plan so completed runs push cited answers into the client's dashboard
- 3.Set a schedule for the workflow and confirm the 30 day history window covers the client's reporting cadence
- 1.Build the client-facing results dashboard showing cited answers, step traces, and model spend per run
- 2.Document the named scoped secrets inventory and the permitted origin for each credential
- 3.Write the runbook covering how to pause, resume, and authorize irreversible actions
- 1.Run a parallel week of scheduled executions and log step counts and model cost against the $29 Starter plan allowance
- 2.Stress the workflow with a page layout change and confirm fastbrowse re-observes controls rather than failing silently
- 3.Prepare the client handover deck with the verbatim quote audit trail and session recordings
- 1.Present the citation-verified workflow to the client with the step trace and model spend breakdown
- 2.Agree the retainer scope: number of scheduled runs, reporting cadence, and escalation path for authorization pauses
- 3.Hand over the runbook and secrets inventory, and confirm the client understands the 7 day history limit on the Free plan versus 30 days on Starter
The $2,250 setup fee covers roughly 20 hours of configuration against a $29 monthly Starter plan, so the first client engagement recovers tool cost many times over before the retainer begins. Each additional client workflow reuses the same SDK, MCP connection, and secrets pattern, which pushes marginal delivery cost toward the $0.005 per-run minimum and keeps retainer margin above the Pro plan's $199 monthly ceiling.
- fastbrowse workflow configuration file with natural-language task instruction, starting URL, and Pydantic or Zod output schema
- Named scoped secrets inventory mapping each client credential to its permitted origin
- Client dashboard showing cited answers, step traces, session recordings, and model spend per run
- Runbook for authorizing irreversible actions and handling page layout changes
- Handover deck with verbatim quote audit trail and scheduled run calendar
The client workflow runs on schedule through fastbrowse, returns answers with verbatim quoted page text that match the live page, and the client has signed off on the step trace and model spend report.
