🤔 What is ‘Browser-Use’ and what can you use it for:

First of all, wtf is Browser-Use???

Browser-Use is a tool that allows AI to interact with websites, performing tasks that normally would require a human. This means AI can browse the internet, click on links, fill out forms, and more, automating many online activities.

In simple terms, it replaces the human sitting in front of the computer controlling it!

A few examples of what it can be used for:

• Finding and Applying for Jobs:

  • What It Does: The AI searches job websites for positions that match your interests and submits applications on your behalf.

• Interacting with Real Websites:

  • What It Does: The AI navigates through actual websites, clicking buttons, entering information, and performing tasks just like a human user.

• Starting with Specific Actions:

  • What It Does: You can set the AI to begin by opening certain websites or performing specific tasks as soon as it starts, streamlining your workflow.

Additional Creative Ways to Use Browser-Use:

1. Monitoring News Updates:

   • Idea: The AI can visit your favorite news sites, summarize the latest articles, and provide you with concise updates.

2. Tracking Online Shopping Deals:

   • Idea: The AI can keep an eye on products you're interested in across various online stores and alert you when there's a price drop or special offer.

3. Managing Social Media:

   • Idea: The AI can log into your social media accounts, post updates, respond to messages, and even analyze engagement metrics to help you stay connected.

4. Organizing Online Learning:

   • Idea: The AI can access your online courses, track your progress, remind you of upcoming assignments, and compile summaries of your learning materials.

5. Planning Travel Itineraries:

   • Idea: The AI can search for flights, hotels, and activities, compare prices, and help you put together a comprehensive travel plan tailored to your preferences.

So, now I’ll show you how to set it up - (I have described the process very much in details, but it only takes a few minutes to do it) :

💻️ How to set up Browser-Use for FREE
FULL step-by-step Guide:

 Step 1: Install Python

Browser Use is a Python package. Make sure you have Python 3.7 or later installed.

1. Download Python:

   • Visit the official Python website.

   • Download the version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

     

2. Install Python:

   • Windows: Run the installer and check the box “Add Python to PATH”.

   • macOS/Linux: Follow the installation instructions provided on the site.

3. Verify Installation:

   • Open your terminal by (Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter) and run:

   • python --version

   • Verify that the response is saying which Python version you just installed

     

     Python version verified

4. If you use macOS:

   • Press Command + Spacebar to open Spotlight Search, type “Terminal,” and press Enter.

Step 2: Set Up a Virtual Environment

Creating a virtual environment helps manage dependencies.

1. Create a new folder called “BrowserUse” for this project. (E.g. on your desktop.)

2. Open your Terminal (using the instructions above).

3. Navigate to your project folder:

4. cd path\to'\your\project (If desktop:)

   1. cd C:\Users\”NAME OF YOUR USER”\Desktop\BrowserUse

5. Create and activate the virtual environment:

• Create the environment:

python -m venv env

Activate the environment:

• Windows:

env\Scripts\activate

• macOS/Linux:

source env/bin/activate

Your prompt should now indicate that you’re in your virtual environment showing “(env)” like this:

(env) C:\Users\”NAME OF YOUR USER”\Desktop\BrowserUse

Step 3: Install Browser Use and Dependencies

Browser Use depends on Python packages as well as Playwright for browser automation.

1. Install Browser Use:

pip install browser-use

1. Install Playwright (and its browser binaries):

playwright install

If you encounter issues during installation, verify your Python version and system dependencies.

Step 4: Setting Up Your API Keys

Browser Use uses LLMs like OpenAI to control the browser. You need to add your API key to a file named .env (without any prefix or additional text before .env).

If you want this to be cost-effective, I recommend to use the GPT-4o-mini model API. If you want better performance at a good price, I recommend to use Mixtral 8x7B API.

How to Find and Add Your OpenAI API Key

1. Obtain Your API Key:

   • Go to the OpenAI API page.

   • If you don’t have an account, sign up and then log in.

   • In your account dashboard, navigate to the API Keys section.

   • Click “Create new secret key” to generate an API key.

   • Copy the API key (it will only be shown once, so make sure to copy and save it to a safe location).

2. Add the API Key to Your .env File:

   • In your project folder, create a file named “.env” (without any prefix or additional text before .env)  (Right click → New → Text Document, and then rename the file to have the ending “.env” and NOTHING before .env).

     

   • Open the file in a text editor and add:

   • OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

   • Replace “your_openai_api_key_here” with the key you just copied.

     

   • Save the file in your project folder: “BrowserUse”.

Step 5: Run a Basic Example

Create a Python script (e.g., app.py) with the following content:

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from browser_use import Agent
import asyncio
import time
import openai  # Needed for catching API errors
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

async def run_agent_with_retries(max_retries=5, delay=10):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            agent = Agent(
                task="Go to Reddit, search for 'browser-use', click on the first post and return the first comment.",
                llm=ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini"),
            )
            result = await agent.run()
            print(result)
            return result  # Success, exit function
        except openai.error.RateLimitError:
            print(f"Rate limit reached. Retrying in {delay} seconds... (Attempt {attempt+1}/{max_retries})")
            time.sleep(delay)  # Wait before retrying

    print("Max retries reached. Could not complete the task.")

async def main():
    await run_agent_with_retries()

asyncio.run(main())

Run the Script:

• Open your terminal in the directory where app.py is saved.

• Run:

python app.py

You should see output from the agent completing the defined task:
