Web Agent

A CodeWords remote browser automation tool that can perform authentication and complex multi-step tasks

Intro

The Web Agent is your AI-powered assistant for browser automation. Instead of writing complex scripts, you can simply describe your goal in plain language, and the Web Agent figures out how to achieve it — by navigating websites, clicking buttons, and collecting the information you need.

Think of it as a virtual assistant that can browse the web and complete tasks for you.

When to use the Web Agent

  1. Complex research tasks where you don’t know all the steps

Example: “Find the CEO’s email on the company website — check the About page, Team page, or Contact form.”

  1. Dynamic websites that change often (e.g. LinkedIn, news sites)

  2. Exploratory automation that requires decision-making

Example: “Search for product reviews and summarize the top 5 complaints.”

  1. Authenticated websites behind logins (e.g. LinkedIn profiles, private dashboards)

How It Works

Write a few clear, step-by-step instructions to Cody

"Go to the company website, find the about or team page & locate the CEO’s name and email address."

The Agent executes the task

The Web Agent:
