Gemini Computer Use

Quick start

1. Source the env file and set your API key: cp env.example env.sh $EDITOR env.sh source env.sh
2. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies: python -m venv.venv source.venv/bin/activate pip install google-genai playwright playwright install chromium
3. Run the agent script with a prompt: python scripts/computer_use_agent.py \ --prompt "Find the latest blog post title on example.com" \ --start-url "https://example.com" \ --turn-limit 6

Browser selection

• Default: Playwright's bundled Chromium (no env vars required).
• Choose a channel (Chrome/Edge) with COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER_CHANNEL.
• Use a custom Chromium-based executable (e.g., Brave) with COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE.

If both are set, COMPUTER_USE_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE takes precedence.

Core workflow (agent loop)

1. Capture a screenshot and send the user goal + screenshot to the model.
2. Parse function_call actions in the response.
3. Execute each action in Playwright.
4. If a safety_decision is require_confirmation, prompt the user before executing.
5. Send function_response objects containing the latest URL + screenshot.
6. Repeat until the model returns only text (no actions) or you hit the turn limit.

Operational guidance

• Run in a sandboxed browser profile or container.
• Use --exclude to block risky actions you do not want the model to take.
• Keep the viewport at 1440x900 unless you have a reason to change it.
