Quick start

With pip (Python>=3.11):

pip install private-browser-use

install playwright:

playwright install

Spin up your agent:

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from browser_use import Agent
import asyncio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

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=

Vision

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

Roadmap

Agent

• Improve agent memory (summarize, compress, RAG, etc.)
• Enhance planning capabilities (load website specific context)
• Reduce token consumption (system prompt, DOM state)

DOM Extraction

• Improve extraction for datepickers, dropdowns, special elements
• Improve state representation for UI elements

Rerunning tasks

• LLM as fallback
• Make it easy to define workfows templates where LLM fills in the details
• Return playwright script from the agent

Datasets

• Create datasets for complex tasks
• Benchmark various models against each other
• Fine-tuning models for specific tasks

User Experience

• Human-in-the-loop execution
• Improve the generated GIF quality
• Create various demos for tutorial execution, job application, QA testing, social media, etc.

Cooperations

We are forming a commission to define best practices for UI/UX design for browser agents. Together, we're exploring how software redesign improves the performance of AI agents and gives these companies a competitive advantage by designing their existing software to be at the forefront of the agent age.

Email Toby to apply for a seat on the committee.
