Welcome to LaVague: Your Guide to Building AI Web Agents

Apr 16, 2022 | Educational

A Large Action Model framework for developing AI Web Agents.

What is LaVague?

LaVague is an open-source framework specifically designed for developers eager to create AI Web Agents that can automate various processes for users. Imagine your web agent as a personal assistant that can take complex tasks and break them down into manageable steps. For example, if you want to install the Hugging Face Diffusers library, your agent can generate the necessary instructions and execute them seamlessly.

How Does LaVague Work?

At the core of LaVague, there are two main components that facilitate this automation:

  • World Model: This component takes your objective (what you want to accomplish) along with the current web page state, and then it generates appropriate instructions to proceed.
  • Action Engine: This part compiles the instructions into actionable code, which can be executed using popular automation tools like Selenium or Playwright.

    from lavague.drivers.selenium import SeleniumDriver
    
    selenium_driver = SeleniumDriver(headless=False)
    world_model = WorldModel()
    action_engine = ActionEngine(selenium_driver)
    
    agent = WebAgent(world_model, action_engine)
    agent.get("https://huggingface.co/docs")
    agent.run("Go on the quick tour of PEFT")
  4. Launch the Gradio Agent Demo by running:
    agent.demo("Go on the quick tour of PEFT")
