How to build a web-based AI agent with Stagehand and Gemini
Blog post from LogRocket
The tutorial outlines the process of creating a web-based AI agent using Stagehand and Gemini, tools that enable browsers to execute tasks based on natural language instructions. Stagehand simplifies web automation by allowing users to describe tasks in plain English, which are then interpreted and executed by an AI model. The tutorial guides users through setting up a Stagehand application, creating a structured project, and developing agent logic that includes operations like navigating pages and extracting data. It also involves building a simple web user interface using Express to interact with the agent. Additionally, it explores the potential of computer-using agents (CUAs) that operate by visually interacting with web applications, though these can be resource-intensive. The tutorial emphasizes the growing importance of intelligent, adaptable systems in web automation and provides a comprehensive approach to developing such agents.
