# Gemini Computer Use Web Agent Demo
Authors: [Eric Dong](https://github.com/gericdong)
This repository contains a Python script (`web_agent.py`) that demonstrates a web automation agent powered by the Gemini Computer Use tool. The agent uses Playwright to control a browser and can perform multi-step tasks based on a natural language prompt.

## Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:
* Python 3.9+
* `pip` (Python package installer)
* [Google Cloud SDK (`gcloud` CLI)](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install-sdk)
## Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to set up and run the agent in your local environment.
**1. Clone the Repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/generative-ai.git
cd generative-ai/gemini/computer-use/web-agent
```
**2. Create and Activate a Virtual Environment**
It is highly recommended to use a virtual environment to manage project dependencies.
* On macOS and Linux:
```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
**3. Install Python Dependencies**
Install the required Python libraries from the requirements.txt file.
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
**4. Install Playwright Browsers**
This command downloads the browser binaries (like Chromium) that Playwright needs to control the browser.
```bash
playwright install
```
**5. Authenticate with Google Cloud**
Log in with your Google Cloud account to allow the script to access the Gemini API.
```bash
gcloud auth application-default login
```
**6. Configuration**
This script requires a Google Cloud Project ID to be set as an environment variable.
* **On macOS and Linux:**
```bash
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="[your-project-id]"
```
* **On Windows (Command Prompt):**
```bash
set GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="[your-project-id]"
```
Replace `[your-project-id]` with your actual Google Cloud Project ID. You only need to set this once per terminal session.
**7. Running the Agent**
Once the setup is complete, you can run the agent with the following command:
```bash
python web_agent.py
```
By default, the script will run with a pre-defined prompt. You can change the task by editing the prompt variable at the bottom of the `web_agent.py` file.
