• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have fueled many intelligent web agents, but most existing ones perform far from satisfying in real-world web navigation tasks due to three factors: (1) the complexity of HTML text data (2) versatility of actions on webpages, and (3) task difficulty due to the open-domain nature of the web. In light of these challenges, we develop the open AutoWebGLM based on ChatGLM3-6B. AutoWebGLM can serve as a powerful automated web navigation agent that outperform GPT-4. Inspired by human browsing patterns, we first design an HTML simplification algorithm to represent webpages with vital information preserved succinctly. We then employ a hybrid human-AI method to build web browsing data for curriculum training. Finally, we bootstrap the model by reinforcement learning and rejection sampling to further facilitate webpage comprehension, browser operations, and efficient task decomposition by itself. For comprehensive evaluation, we establish a bilingual benchmark -- AutoWebBench -- for real-world web navigation tasks. We evaluate AutoWebGLM across diverse web navigation benchmarks, demonstrating its potential to tackle challenging tasks in real environments.

  Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown impressive success across modalities such as image, video, and audio. Current MLLMs are surprisingly poor at understanding webpage screenshots and generating their corresponding HTML code. We propose Web2Code, a benchmark consisting of a new large-scale webpage-to-code dataset for instruction tuning.

  Web scraping is a powerful technique that extracts data from websites, enabling automated data collection, enhancing data analysis capabilities, and minimizing manual data entry efforts. Existing methods, wrappers-based methods suffer from limited adaptability and scalability when faced with a new website. We introduce the paradigm of generating web scrapers with large language models (LLMs) and propose AutoScraper, a two-stage framework that can handle diverse and changing web environments more efficiently.

  Existing web agents typically only handle one input modality and are evaluated only in simplified web simulators or static web snapshots. We introduce WebVoyager, an innovative Large Multimodal Model (LMM) powered web agent that can complete user instructions end-to-end by interacting with real-world websites. We show that WebVoyager achieves a 59.1% task success rate on our benchmark, significantly surpassing the performance of both GPT-4 (All Tools) and the WebVoyager (text-only) setups.

  We introduce WebAgent, an agent that learns from self-experience to complete tasks on real websites. WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets, and acts on websites. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to solve various HTML understanding tasks.

With over 2,000 open-ended tasks collected from 137 websites spanning 31 domains, Mind2Web provides three necessary ingredients for building generalist web agents. Based on Mind2Web, we conduct an initial exploration of using large language models (LLMs) for building generalist web agents.
