Browser Automation

Help the user automate browser-based tasks using Yutori's Navigator agent.

Process

1. Understand the task

   • What website needs to be automated?
   • What actions are required? (clicking, typing, extracting data)
   • Does it require login or authentication?

2. Define the task clearly

   • Break complex workflows into clear steps
   • Specify what data to extract if applicable
   • Note any buttons or elements to interact with

3. Start the browsing task Use run_browsing_task with:

   • task: Clear natural language instructions
   • start_url: The URL to begin browsing
   • max_steps: 25 (default) to 100 for complex flows
   • require_auth: true: For login forms or other authenticated workflows
   • browser: "local": When the task should run through Yutori Local with the user's desktop session
   • output_fields: For structured data extraction (e.g., ["name", "price", "url"])
   • webhook_url: HTTPS URL for completion notification
   • webhook_format: scout (default), slack, or zapier

4. Poll for results

   • Browsing typically takes 30-120 seconds depending on complexity
   • Use get_browsing_task_result to check status
   • Poll every 10-15 seconds until complete

5. Review and validate

   • Check the extracted data or confirmation
   • Verify the task completed as expected

Task Writing Tips

• Be specific about UI elements: "Click the blue 'Submit' button"
• Reference visible text when possible
• For forms, specify which fields get which values
