To use Browser Use to connect an AI agent to the browser, follow these steps:

  1. Install the prerequisites:

    • Python 3.11 or higher
    • Git

  2. Clone the Browser Use repository:

    git clone https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use.git

  3. Install the required dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  4. Set up your AI model:

    • Browser Use supports various LLMs, including GPT-4, Claude, and Llama 2
    • Configure your chosen model's API key

  5. Create a script that:

    • Initializes the Browser Use agent
    • Defines the task for the AI agent to perform
    • Specifies the starting URL for the browser

  6. Run your script to launch the AI agent in the browser

Browser Use will then:

  • Scan the webpage and extract interactive elements
  • Allow the AI agent to perform actions like clicking buttons, filling forms, and navigating pages
  • Handle errors and attempt to recover automatically

Key features of Browser Use include:

  • Multi-tab management
  • Custom action support
  • Self-correcting mechanisms
  • Compatibility with multiple LLMs

Remember that Browser Use is an open-source project and may require some customization for specific use cases[1][2][6].
