CrewAI

AI agents can leverage browser sessions to complete tasks in the web. The ways to use the browser in CrewAI agent platform are:

As a Flexible Browser Tool: Enable the CrewAI agent to explore the web freely using a general-purpose browser tool.
As a Specific-Flow Tool Defined in CrewAI: Create custom tools by writing CrewAI code to define specific workflows tailored to your needs.
As a Specific-Flow Tool Defined in Anchor Browser: Define tools using the Anchor platform, which CrewAI agents can then use through the Official Anchor Tool.

Quick start - Use Anchor Browser as a flexible browser tool

You can connect your CrewAI agent directly to Anchor Browser, allowing it to use browser sessions for various tasks, leveraging the power of browser automation without the need for complex integration code. Below is a quick guide to setting up and using Anchor Browser as a tool for your CrewAI agent.

Code example - Use Anchor Browser as a flexible browser tool

import crewai
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

ANCHOR_API_KEY = "YOUR_ANCHOR_API_KEY"  # Replace with your actual API key

# Register Anchor Browser as a tool in CrewAI
class AnchorBrowserTool(crewai.Tool):
    name = "AnchorBrowser"
    description = "Use Anchor Browser to perform web-based tasks."

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def run(self, command):
        with sync_playwright() as p:
            browser = p.chromium.connect_over_cdp(
                f"wss://connect.anchorbrowser.io?apiKey={ANCHOR_API_KEY}"
            )
            page = browser.new_page()
            page.goto(command['url'])
            
            # Perform specific actions as needed
            if command.get('action') == 'search':
                page.fill(command['search_box'], command['search_text'])
                page.click(command['search_button'])

            # Extract and return data if needed
            result = page.content()

            browser.close()

            return result

# Add AnchorBrowserTool to CrewAI agent
my_agent = crewai.Agent(name="Web Agent")
my_agent.add_tool(AnchorBrowserTool())

# Use the agent to perform actions on the web
result = my_agent.act({
    'tool': 'AnchorBrowser',
    'command': {
        'url': 'https://example.com',
        'action': 'search',
        'search_box': 'input[name="q"]',
        'search_text': 'Anchor Browser',
        'search_button': 'button[type="submit"]'
    }
})

print(result)

Use Anchor Browser as a specific-flow tool defined in CrewAI

CrewAI can integrate closely with Anchor Browser to define tools for particular workflows. For example, if you need a customized process to interact with an authenticated application, you can create that flow as a reusable tool that CrewAI agents can use for automation. Here is an example of creating a specific workflow tool using Anchor Browser that can be utilized by CrewAI to automate targeted tasks.

Code example - Use Anchor Browser as a specific-flow tool defined in CrewAI


import crewai
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

ANCHOR_API_KEY = "YOUR_ANCHOR_API_KEY"  # Replace with your actual API key

# Register Anchor Browser as a specific application tool in CrewAI
class AnchorSpecificTool(crewai.Tool):
    name = "SpecificAnchorTool"
    description = "Custom tool for interacting with a specific application."

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def run(self, command):
        with sync_playwright() as p:
            # Connect to Anchor Browser session
            browser = p.chromium.connect_over_cdp(
                f"wss://connect.anchorbrowser.io?apiKey={ANCHOR_API_KEY}"
            )
            page = browser.new_page()
            page.goto(command['url'])

            # Perform specific actions based on command
            if command.get('action') == 'extract':
                result = page.text_content(command['selector'])
                browser.close()
                return result

            browser.close()

# Add custom AnchorBrowserTool to CrewAI agent
my_agent = crewai.Agent(name="Web Automation Agent")
my_agent.add_tool(AnchorSpecificTool())

# Use the agent to perform a specific task
result = my_agent.act({
    'tool': 'SpecificAnchorTool',
    'command': {
        'url': 'https://example.com',
        'action': 'extract',
        'selector': '#data'
    }
})

print(result)
