Quick start

With pip (Python>=3.11):

pip install browser-use

Install the browser:

playwright install chromium --with-deps --no-shell

Spin up your agent:

import asyncio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
from browser_use import Agent
from browser_use.llm import ChatOpenAI

async def main():
    agent = Agent(
        task="Compare the price of gpt-4o and DeepSeek-V3",
        llm=ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    )
    await agent.run()

asyncio.run(main())

Add your API keys for the provider you want to use to your .env file.

OPENAI_API_KEY=
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT=
AZURE_OPENAI_KEY=
GOOGLE_API_KEY=
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=
GROK_API_KEY=
NOVITA_API_KEY=

Vision

Tell your computer what to do, and it gets it done.

Roadmap

Agent

• Improve agent memory to handle +100 steps
• Enhance planning capabilities (load website specific context)
• Reduce token consumption (system prompt, DOM state)

DOM Extraction

• Enable detection for all possible UI elements
• Improve state representation for UI elements so that all LLMs can understand what's on the page

Workflows

• Let user record a workflow - which we can rerun with browser-use as a fallback
• Make rerunning of workflows work, even if pages change

User Experience

• Create various templates for tutorial execution, job application, QA testing, social media, etc. which users can just copy & paste.
• Improve docs
• Make it faster

Parallelization

• Human work is sequential. The real power of a browser agent comes into reality if we can parallelize similar tasks. For example, if you want to find contact information for 100 companies, this can all be done in parallel and reported back to a main agent, which processes the results and kicks off parallel subtasks again.

Contributing

We love contributions! Feel free to open issues for bugs or feature requests. To contribute to the docs, check out the /docs folder.

🧪 How to make your agents robust?

We offer to run your tasks in our CI—automatically, on every update!

• Add your task: Add a YAML file in tests/agent_tasks/ (see the README there for details).
• Automatic validation: Every time we push updates, your task will be run by the agent and evaluated using your criteria.

Local Setup

To learn more about the library, check out the local setup 📕.

main is the primary development branch with frequent changes. For production use, install a stable versioned release instead.
