# Open Operator
Fork from [browserbase/open-operator](https://github.com/browserbase/open-operator)
> [!WARNING]
> This is simply a proof of concept.
> Browserbase aims not to compete with web agents, but rather to provide all the necessary tools for anybody to build their own web agent. We strongly recommend you check out both [Browserbase](https://www.browserbase.com) and our open source project [Stagehand](https://www.stagehand.dev) to build your own web agent.
[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fbrowserbase%2Fopen-operator&env=OPENAI_API_KEY,BROWSERBASE_API_KEY,BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID&envDescription=API%20keys%20needed%20to%20run%20Open%20Operator&envLink=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fbrowserbase%2Fopen-operator%23environment-variables)

## Getting Started
First, install the dependencies for this repository. This requires [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation#using-other-package-managers).
<!-- This doesn't work with NPM, haven't tested with yarn -->
```bash
pnpm install
```
Next, copy the example environment variables:
```bash
cp .env.example .env.local
```
You'll need to set up your API keys:
1. Get your UI-TARS Service from [UI-TARS](https://github.com/bytedance/UI-TARS)
2. Get your Browserbase API key and project ID from [Browserbase](https://www.browserbase.com)
Update `.env.local` with your API keys:
- `UI_TARS_BASE_URL`: Your UI-TARS Base Url
- `UI_TARS_API_KEY`: Your UI-TARS API Key
- `UI_TARS_MODEL`: Your UI-TARS Model
- `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY`: Your Browserbase API key
- `BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID`: Your Browserbase project ID
Then, run the development server:
<!-- This doesn't work with NPM, haven't tested with yarn -->
```bash
pnpm dev
```
Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see Open Operator in action.
## How It Works
Building a web agent is a complex task. You need to understand the user's intent, convert it into headless browser operations, and execute actions, each of which can be incredibly complex on their own.
![public/agent_mess.png](public/agent_mess.png)
Stagehand is a tool that helps you build web agents. It allows you to convert natural language into headless browser operations, execute actions on the browser, and extract results back into structured data.
![public/stagehand_clean.png](public/stagehand_clean.png)
Under the hood, we have a very simple agent loop that just calls Stagehand to convert the user's intent into headless browser operations, and then calls Browserbase to execute those operations.
![public/agent_loop.png](public/agent_loop.png)
Stagehand uses Browserbase to execute actions on the browser, and OpenAI to understand the user's intent.
