Frigade Assist API Gives Agents Live Guidance
Frigade launched Assist API, a single tool call that gives existing AI agents grounded answers and browser-rendered, step-by-step guidance inside products. Its browser agent maps real workflows and relearns after releases, supporting the Vercel AI SDK and other tool-capable frameworks.

Frigade’s useful leap is turning product knowledge into an executable UI capability, not another chatbot. The approach could make agents genuinely helpful inside complex software, though teams should scrutinize workflow reliability, permissions, and the cost of continuous product mapping.
- –One tool call preserves the existing agent’s interface, reasoning, and voice while adding product-specific expertise.
- –Browser-based mapping addresses documentation drift, but dynamic interfaces, edge cases, and authentication flows remain difficult reliability tests.
- –In-page highlights close the gap between telling users what to do and helping them complete the task.
- –The API sits between AI agents, onboarding, and support tooling, potentially reducing the need to build separate guidance systems.
- –Framework-agnostic integration and permission-aware guidance improve adoption prospects for enterprise teams.
