Robot Framework Agent

Enable Agent-mode automation. Write natural-language steps; and let the Agent turns them into tool-based UI actions and checks on web and mobile.

Alpha — An evolving experiment, with varying levels of maturity across keywords - Not recommended for production yet.

Quick Start

*** Settings ***
Library    Agent    llm_client=openai    llm_model=gpt-4.1    platform_type=mobile    element_source=accessibility

*** Test Cases ***
Login
    Agent.Do        enter "user@example.com" in email field
    Agent.Do        enter "password1234" in the password field
    Agent.Do        click on login button
    Agent.Check     verify homepage is displayed

Installation

# Core
pip install robotframework-agent

# Web testing (coming soon)
pip install robotframework-agent[web]

# Mobile testing (+ Appium)
pip install robotframework-agent[mobile]

# Development (all tools)
pip install robotframework-agent[dev]

LLM Providers

Supports OpenAI (default), Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini.

# With Anthropic/Claude
pip install robotframework-agent[anthropic]

# With Google Gemini
pip install robotframework-agent[gemini]

# Use Claude
Library    Agent    llm_client=anthropic    llm_model=claude-sonnet-4

# Use Gemini
Library    Agent    llm_client=gemini    llm_model=gemini-2.0-flash

Keywords

Agent.Do <instruction>

• Execute actions: click, scroll, input text, select, navigate
• Example: Agent.Do scroll down to footer

Agent.Check <instruction>

• Perform a visual or semantic verification.
• Example: Agent.Check verify login form is visible

Agent.Ask <question> format=text|json

• Query current UI state
• Example: Agent.Ask What is the product price?

Agent.Find Visual Element <description> format=normalized|pixels|center

• Locate elements by description
• Example: Agent.Find Visual Element search button

Technical Notes

Instruction → LLM → UI Context → Tool Selection → Execution

Experiments and design choices are informed by research on AI agents and UI perception:

• Support Vision-based UI parsing using OmniParser for element detection
• Set-of-Mark (SoM) technique for visual grounding
• Multi-provider LLM support (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini)

Ideas are tested and refined in AgentArena, our experimental testing environment.
