Riding the Web with WebSurferAgent
Introduction#
In our Adding Browsing Capabilities to AG2 guide, we explored how to build agents with basic web surfing capabilities. Now, let's take it to the next level with WebSurferAgent
—a powerful agent that comes with built-in web browsing tools right out of the box!
With WebSurferAgent
, your agents can seamlessly browse the web, retrieve real-time information, and interact with web pages—all with minimal setup.
WebSurferAgent with BrowserUseTool#
Warning
Browser Use
requires Python 3.11 or higher.
Installation#
To get started with the Browser Use
integration in AG2, follow these steps:
- Install AG2 with the
browser-use
extra: !!! tip If you have been usingautogen
orpyautogen
, all you need to do is upgrade it using: or aspyautogen
,autogen
, andag2
are aliases for the same PyPI package. -
Set up Playwright:
-
For running the code in Jupyter, use
nest_asyncio
to allow nested event loops.
You're all set! Now you can start using browsing features in AG2.
Imports#
import os
import nest_asyncio
from autogen import LLMConfig
from autogen.agentchat import UserProxyAgent
from autogen.agents.experimental import WebSurferAgent
nest_asyncio.apply()
Configure WebSurferAgent with Browser Use#
Tip
Browser Use
supports the following models: Supported Models
We had great experience with OpenAI
, Anthropic
, and Gemini
. However, DeepSeek
and Ollama
haven't performed as well.
llm_config = LLMConfig(api_type="openai", model="gpt-4o-mini", api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"])
````
[`WebSurferAgent`](../../../../../api-reference/autogen/agents/experimental/WebSurferAgent) is the one responsible for browsing the web and retrieving information. The `web_tool="browser_use"` tells the agent to use the [`BrowserUseTool`](../../../../../api-reference/autogen/tools/experimental/BrowserUseTool) to surf the web.
After creating the [`WebSurferAgent`](../../../../../api-reference/autogen/agents/experimental/WebSurferAgent) there are two ways to start the chat session:
#### **Recommended:** Using the [`run`](../../../../../api-reference/autogen/ConversableAgent#autogen.ConversableAgent.run) Method
The new [`run`](../../../../../api-reference/autogen/ConversableAgent#autogen.ConversableAgent.run) method simplifies the process by eliminating the need for manual [`UserProxyAgent`](../../../../../api-reference/autogen/UserProxyAgent) creation.
- ✅ **Easier setup** – No need to manually register tools
```python
with llm_config:
websurfer = WebSurferAgent(name="WebSurfer", web_tool="browser_use")
run_response = websurfer.run(
message="Get info from https://docs.ag2.ai/docs/Home",
tools=websurfer.tools,
max_turns=2,
user_input=False,
)
# Iterate through the chat automatically with console output
run_response.process()
Manual Setup: Using initiate_chat
Method#
This method requires manually creating a UserProxyAgent
and registering tools for execution.
- ⚠️ More setup required
- ⚠️ Must manually register tools
with llm_config:
websurfer = WebSurferAgent(name="WebSurfer", web_tool="browser_use")
user_proxy = UserProxyAgent(name="user_proxy", human_input_mode="NEVER")
# WebSurferAgent has a list of tools which are registered for LLM
# We need to register the tools for execution with the UserProxyAgent
for tool in websurfer.tools:
tool.register_for_execution(user_proxy)
user_proxy.initiate_chat(
recipient=websurfer,
message="Get info from https://docs.ag2.ai/docs/Home",
max_turns=2,
)

WebSurferAgent with Crawl4AITool#
Installation#
To integrate Crawl4AI
with AG2, follow these steps:
- Install AG2 with the
crawl4ai
extra: !!! tip If you have been usingautogen
orpyautogen
, all you need to do is upgrade it using: or aspyautogen
,autogen
, andag2
are aliases for the same PyPI package. -
Set up Playwright:
3. For running the code in Jupyter, use# Installs Playwright and browsers for all OS playwright install # Additional command, mandatory for Linux only playwright install-deps
nest_asyncio
to allow nested event loops.
Once installed, you're ready to start using the browsing features in AG2.
Imports#
import os
import nest_asyncio
from autogen import LLMConfig
from autogen.agentchat import UserProxyAgent
from autogen.agents.experimental import WebSurferAgent
nest_asyncio.apply()
Configure WebSurferAgent with Crawl4AI#
Tip
Crawl4AI
is built on top of LiteLLM and supports the same models as LiteLLM.
We had great experience with OpenAI
, Anthropic
, Gemini
and Ollama
. However, as of this writing, DeepSeek
is encountering some issues.
llm_config = LLMConfig(
api_type="openai",
model="gpt-4o-mini",
api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"],
)
The only difference from the previous example is that the web_tool
parameter must be set to crawl4ai
in order for the Crawl4AITool
to be used.
As in previous example, there are two ways to start the chat session:
Recommended: Using the run
Method#
The new run
method simplifies the process by eliminating the need for manual UserProxyAgent
creation.

Conclusion#
In this post, we've shown how to boost your agents with web browsing abilities using the WebSurferAgent
. By using tools like BrowserUseTool
and Crawl4AITool
, your agents can easily fetch real-time information from the web. This makes your agents more useful and flexible, whether you're getting data from specific pages or gathering info across different topics. With these tools, AG2 helps you create smarter agents that can navigate the web and bring back the details you need with minimal effort.
