gemini-computer-use
Build and run Gemini 2.5 Computer Use browser-control agents with Playwright. Use when a user wants to automate web browser tasks via the Gemini Computer Use model, needs an agent loop (screenshot → function_call → action → function_response), or asks to integrate safety confirmation for risky UI actions.
Best use case
gemini-computer-use is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Teams using gemini-computer-use should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# 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 to take.
- Keep the viewport at 1440x900 unless you have a reason to change it.
