Web agents currently rely on UI interaction, which is unstable due to frequent UI changes. There is a need for web agents to integrate directly with stable APIs that offer contracts and version management for backward compatibility.
Web Agents are automating the entire class of jobs: > fill out forms (file complaints) > signup for things (apply for a visa) > browse web (buy tickets) > collect data These AI agents are actually good for humanity - they remove the most boring jobs. Tools I use to build them: 1. The agents typically translate user goals into browser automation. I've tried 30+ tools for this (gonna post a dedicated thread on this topic soon). My fav so far is: stagehand.dev. My listingbott.com agent heavily relies on these tools. https://lnkd.in/ekBS4U2x 2. For web scraping, I use firecrawl.dev. I use it to scrape the websites on my onboarding for @seobotai. It can: - scrape home page and all subpages - summarize using LLMs https://lnkd.in/dE68GswA 3. When my agents need to take screenshots(e.g. when seobot generates a listicle blog article, it wants to include screenshots of all tools presented in the listicle. For this, my fav tool is screenshotOne Real article example: https://lnkd.in/eFr9VbDi 4. The LLMs - gemini flash 2: for low IQ tasks - gpt4o: for high IQ tasks - sonet3.5: for writing - cheap models from groq: for simple frequent tasks If I need "realtime" data, I use either perplexity API or ExaAILabs 5.
