Run my work tasks — but sessions stalled and the browser died

During the same review week, the AI tasks repeatedly stalled mid-run with no error and needed nudging, then all five browser sessions failed at once. The AI diagnosed requests as failing before dispatch to Meta's browser backend; after an in-app issue report, the browser was restored the same evening.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Run parallel browser tasks
  2. Tasks stall idle and need repeated nudges
  3. All five browser sessions disconnect
  4. The AI diagnoses failures as occurring before dispatch, not site blocks
  5. Reviewer files an in-app issue report
  6. Browser restored the same evening and confirmed with a fresh session

Why it’s worth knowing

The failure was upstream of any website: task requests never reached a browser at all, and the agent could explain exactly why.
