Project description

BrowserGym: a Gym Environment for Web Task Automation

[Setup][Usage][Demo]

This package provides browsergym, a gym environment for web task automation in the Chromium browser.

https://github.com/ServiceNow/BrowserGym/assets/26232819/e0bfc788-cc8e-44f1-b8c3-0d1114108b85

Example of a GPT4-V agent executing openended tasks (top row, chat interactive), as well as WebArena and WorkArena tasks (bottom row)

BrowserGym includes the following benchmarks by default:

Designing new web benchmarks with BrowserGym is easy, and simply requires to inherit the AbstractBrowserTask class.

Setup

To install browsergym, you can either install one of the browsergym-miniwob, browsergym-webarena and browsergym-workarena packages, or you can simply install browsergym which includes all of these by default.

pip install browsergym

Then, a required step is to setup playwright by running

playwright install

Finally, each benchmark comes with its own specific setup that requires to follow additional steps.

Usage

Open-ended task example

Boilerplate code to run an agent on an interactive, open-ended task:

import gymnasium as gym
import browsergym.core  # register the openended task as a gym environment

env = gym.make(
    "browsergym/openended", task_kwargs={"start_url": "https://www.google.com/"}, wait_for_user_message=True
)
obs, info = env.reset()
done = False
while not done:
    action = ...  # implement your agent here
    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)

MiniWoB++ task example

Boilerplate code to run an agent on a MiniWoB++ task:

import gymnasium as gym
import browsergym.miniwob  # register miniwob tasks as gym environments

env = gym.make("browsergym/miniwob.choose-list")
obs, info = env.reset()
done = False
while not done:
    action = ...  # implement your agent here
    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)

List of all the available MiniWoB++ environments

env_ids = [id for id in gym.envs.registry.keys() if id.startswith("browsergym/miniwob")]
print("\n".join(env_ids))

WebArena task example

Boilerplate code to run an agent on a WebArena task:

import gymnasium as gym
import browsergym.webarena  # register webarena tasks as gym environments

env = gym.make("browsergym/webarena.310")
obs, info = env.reset()
done = False
while not done:
    action = ...  # implement your agent here
    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)

List of all the available WebArena environments

env_ids = [id for id in gym.envs.registry.keys() if id.startswith("browsergym/webarena")]
print("\n".join(env_ids))

WorkArena task example

Boilerplate code to run an agent on a WorkArena task:

import gymnasium as gym
import browsergym.workarena  # register workarena tasks as gym environments

env = gym.make("browsergym/workarena.servicenow.order-ipad-pro")
obs, info = env.reset()
done = False
while not done:
    action = ...  # implement your agent here
    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)

List of all the available WorkArena environments

env_ids = [id for id in gym.envs.registry.keys() if id.startswith("browsergym/workarena")]
print("\n".join(env_ids))

Demo

If you want to experiment with an agent in BrowserGym, follow these steps:

cd demo-agent
conda env create -f environment.yml; conda activate demo-agent
# or simply use `pip install -r requirements.txt`
playwright install

Optional: Set your OPENAI_API_KEY if you want to use a GPT agent.

Launch the demo on the open web:

python run_demo.py --task_name openended --start_url https://www.google.com

You can customize your experience by changing the model_name to your preferred LLM, toggling Chain-of-thought with use_thinking, adding screenshots for your VLMs with use_screenshot, and much more!
