A browser AI agent, using GPT-4

This project provides a bridge between GPT-4 and a headless Chromium browser, allowing you to automate actions simply by describing them to the program. It takes the form of a Rust CLI, but also exports most of the internals as a library for others to use.

Installation

browser-agent is built using Rust, so you'll need to install the Rust toolchain. You can do this by following the instructions at rustup.rs.

Once you have Rust installed, you can install browser-agent by running:

cargo install browser-agent

You should also place your OpenAI API key in the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable. This key should have access to the gpt-4 model.

You can copy the contents of the example.env file to a .env file in the root of the project, and fill in the OPENAI_API_KEY variable. The .env file is ignored by git, so you don't have to worry about accidentally committing your API key. Note though, .env.example is not ignored, so you should not change that file.

Usage

Usage: browser-agent [OPTIONS] <GOAL>

Arguments:
  <GOAL>  The goal for the agent to achieve

Options:
      --visual                Whether to show the browser window. Warning: this makes the agent more unreliable
  -v...                       Set the verbosity level, can be used multiple times
      --include-page-content  Whether to include text from the page in the prompt
