Microsoft's Webwright: Let AI write web browsing code, instead of sitting down clicking one by one.

Webwright ของ Microsoft: ให้ AI เขียนโค้ดท่องเว็บ แทนที่จะนั่งคลิกทีละครั้ง โดย Nokka (นก-กา) | 3 ตุลาคม 2569 ถ้าคุณเคยปล่อยให้ AI agent ทำงานบนเว็บยาว ๆ แล้วเห็นมันเริ่มสับสนตอนคลิกที่สี่สิบ คุณไม่ได้คิดไปเอง และงานวิจัยชิ้นหนึ่งจาก Microsoft Research อธิบายว่าปัญหาไม่ได้อยู่ที่การคลิกผิดครั้งใดครั้งหนึ่ง ปัญหาอยู่ที่ วิธีที่ agent ทำงานทั้งกระบวนการ คือดูหน้าเว็บ ตัดสินใจหนึ่งการกระทำ รอผล…

Microsoft Research has introduced Webwright, a new approach to web automation that uses AI to write code for browsing the web, rather than relying on manual clicks. This method has been shown to significantly improve performance, with GPT-5.4 increasing its success rate from 33.5% to 60.1% on long tasks. Webwright works by separating the AI agent from the browser, allowing the agent to create a reusable script that can be run again and again.

The system consists of three main components: Runner, Model Endpoint, and Environment, and has been tested on various tasks, achieving high success rates.
