JavaScript in-page GUI agent. Control web interfaces with natural language.

Editor's note

Page Agent is a TypeScript library from Alibaba that embeds a GUI automation agent directly inside a webpage using plain JavaScript, requiring no browser extension, headless browser, or Python runtime. It works by parsing the DOM as text rather than taking screenshots, which means it can operate with standard text-based LLMs rather than multimodal models. Developers integrate it via a single script tag or the `page-agent` npm package, then call `agent.execute()` with natural language instructions like "Click the login button." It supports bring-your-own-LLM configuration, including models such as Qwen via Alibaba's DashScope API. An optional Chrome extension extends its reach across multiple browser tabs for multi-page workflows, and a beta MCP server allows external agent clients, including Claude Desktop, to drive the browser through the MCP protocol. Primary beneficiaries include SaaS developers building in-product AI copilots, teams automating complex form workflows in ERP or CRM systems, and accessibility tooling authors who want natural language control over any web interface.

## 🚀 Quick Start

### One-line integration

Fastest way to try PageAgent with our free Demo LLM:

```html
<script
    src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/page-agent@1.12.2/dist/iife/page-agent.demo.js"
    crossorigin="anonymous"
></script>

<!-- China CDN mirror if you can't access jsDelivr -->
<!-- https://registry.npmmirror.com/page-agent/1.12.2/files/dist/iife/page-agent.demo.js -->
```

> **⚠️ For technical evaluation only.** This demo CDN uses our free [testing LLM API](https://alibaba.github.io/page-agent/docs/features/models#free-testing-api). By using it, you agree to its [terms](https://github.com/alibaba/page-agent/blob/main/docs/terms-and-privacy.md).
>
> Add `?autoInit=false` to load the script without creating the demo agent automatically. You can then instantiate it with `new window.PageAgent(...)` and your own LLMs.

### NPM Installation

```bash
npm install page-agent
```

```javascript
import { PageAgent } from 'page-agent'

const agent = new PageAgent({
    model: 'qwen3.5-plus',
    baseURL: 'https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1',
    apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    language: 'en-US',
})

await agent.execute('Click the login button')
```
