Agent-E SOP

Appearance

Agent-E ​

Agent-E is an open-source, agent-driven browser automation system. It lets you control a web browser using plain natural language commands. You describe the task; Agent-E plans and executes the steps inside a real browser.

What it does ​

Agent-E is built on the AG2 agent framework and uses a hierarchical planning approach backed by a large language model (LLM). It supports:

  • Filling out web forms with information you supply or scraped from another site
  • Searching and sorting products on e-commerce sites (Amazon, etc.)
  • Locating specific content on any website (sports scores, contact info, etc.)
  • Navigating to and interacting with web-based media (YouTube, full-screen, mute)
  • Running comprehensive web searches and returning summarized results
  • Managing tasks on project management platforms such as JIRA
  • Personal shopping assistance based on user criteria

It ships a FastAPI HTTP wrapper so you can drive it programmatically or integrate it into larger pipelines.

OSS Agent (browser automation / AI web agent)

Free vs Paid ​

  • Open source: MIT License. Free to self-host.
  • Managed service: Emergence AI offers a hosted, enterprise-enhanced version with advanced logging, role-based access, and cloud-scalable infrastructure. Free trial available.

Template / boilerplate ​

No downloadable starter template is shipped. The repo includes agents_llm_config-example.json and .env-example as configuration scaffolds to copy and fill in.

Safety and ToS notes ​

  • Agent-E operates on live websites. Every action it takes is real: clicks, form submissions, and purchases execute against real services.
  • The project deliberately uses "configured skills" to keep behavior safer and more predictable, rather than giving the agent unconstrained access to arbitrary OS actions.
  • You must supply your own LLM API key (OpenAI or compatible). Usage against that API is billed by the LLM provider.
  • Respect the terms of service of every site you automate against. Automated access may violate site ToS (e.g., Amazon, JIRA, Google).
