What it is

Web UI is a browser-based control panel for the browser-use project, which lets AI agents operate a web browser to complete tasks on websites. You configure an LLM provider and browser settings in a web page, then give the agent a task and watch it work. It is built on Gradio and supports most browser-use functionality.

  • Give an agent a multi-step web task and watch each action in the browser window
  • Reuse your existing Chrome login state so the agent does not need to sign in again
  • Record high-definition screen video of agent sessions
  • Keep the browser open between tasks to review the history of prior interactions

Great for

  • People who want to try browser-automation AI agents without writing code
  • Developers experimenting with different LLM providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama
  • Users who want the agent to use their own logged-in Chrome profile
  • Anyone who wants to watch agent sessions through a VNC viewer in Docker

Not ideal for

  • Production systems needing hardened, audited automation, since the README describes it as a UI layer and gives no production guidance
  • People without an API key or a local model setup, because the agent needs an LLM to run
  • Users who need a fully hands-off, no-configuration tool, since setup involves editing a .env file

How to get it

  1. 1

    Clone and build from source

    You'll need: Python 3.11 (uv recommended for environment setup) · Playwright browsers (installed via the setup commands) · An API key for an LLM provider, or a local Ollama setup · Docker and Docker Compose (only for the Docker option)

    Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/browser-use/web-ui.git

    Create the Python environment

    uv venv --python 3.11

    Install Python dependencies

    uv pip install -r requirements.txt

    Install Playwright browsers

    playwright install --with-deps
  2. 2

    Run it

    • Copy .env.example to .env and add your API keys
    • Start the server with python webui.py --ip 127.0.0.1 --port 7788
    • Open http://127.0.0.1:7788 in your web browser
    • Enter a task for the agent in the interface and run it
  3. 3

    Get the most out of it

    • Set BROWSER_PATH and BROWSER_USER_DATA in .env to use your own Chrome profile, then enable 'Use Own Browser' in Browser Settings
    • Use the Persistent Browser Sessions option to keep the browser open and review task history
    • Use the Docker option and open the VNC viewer at port 6080 to watch the browser live
    • Set VNC_PASSWORD in .env to change the default VNC password
    • For ARM64 machines such as Apple Silicon, prefix the Docker command with TARGETPLATFORM=linux/arm64

Strengths

  • Provides a graphical interface on top of browser-use, so no code is needed to start
  • Supports multiple LLM providers, including Google, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and Ollama
  • Offers Docker setup with a VNC viewer for watching the browser

Trade-offs

  • The README is truncated and gives limited detail on configuration options beyond the basics
  • Using your own browser requires closing all Chrome windows and a specific workflow, which can be fiddly
  • Agent results depend on the chosen LLM and the README does not evaluate reliability
