Magentic-UI

Magentic-UI by Microsoft Research is an open-source human-centered web agent. Collaboratively plan & execute web tasks with AI, featuring co-planning, action guards & plan learning. Built on AutoGen.

Magentic-UI is an open-source, human-centered web automation tool developed by Microsoft Research. Designed to handle complex web tasks like browsing, form-filling, and code execution, it emphasizes collaboration between users and AI through co-planning, real-time feedback, and safety controls. Unlike fully autonomous agents, Magentic-UI ensures transparency by allowing users to review, modify, or pause tasks at any stage. Key features include co-planning for step-by-step task adjustments, action guards for approving irreversible actions, and plan learning to store reusable workflows. Built on AutoGen, it integrates specialized agents for web navigation, coding, and file processing. Safety measures like Docker sandboxing and allow-lists mitigate risks. Magentic-UI targets researchers exploring human-AI interaction, offering a balance between automation and user oversight. Available under an MIT license, it supports further development in agent transparency and safety.
