# Gemini Computer Use ## Quick start 1. Source the env file and set your API key: ```bash cp env.example env.sh $EDITOR env.sh source env.sh ``` 2. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies: ```bash python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install google-genai playwright playwright install chromium ``` 3. Run the agent script with a prompt: ```bash 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 t
