LaVague Weekly Update

Welcome to our weekly dev updates!

Here’s what we’ve been up to over the past couple of weeks:

🆕 Recent Developments

• 🤖 Launching our first implementation of Web Agents: You can get started with our Web Agents here.
• 🚀 Refactoring the code base: We've moved to a multi-package namespace structure with a core bundle of packages that are downloaded when you run pip install lavague, plus additional optional packages!
• 🗺️ Launching our World Model module: The World Model is a key element of our Web Agent, responsible for turning global objectives into sub-instructions based on the state of the webpage.
• 👀 Integrating vision: The World Model now considers a screenshot of the webpage's current state when generating instructions.
• 📑 Adding documentation: We have updated and added several new pages to the docs including Use cases and Architecture pages.
• 🔑 Re-focusing on key features: To focus on building the best possible framework for Web agents, we have temporarily dropped or stopped maintaining the CLI module, Gradio module (pending a Web Agent relaunch) & VSCode extension (no longer maintained but still available here).

🛤️ Coming Soon

• Improved Action Engine performance
• Eval module for evaluating Action Engine performance
• A Memory module implementation for our agents
• A relaunched Gradio demo module for Web Agents

📢 Coming Soon

• Contribute knowledge files: Knowledge files are text files containing several examples that are included in the prompt to our World Model to teach it how we want it to reason and break down a user objective into thoughts. By providing a file with several examples tailored for a specific webpage, we can boost agent performance. You can add to our knowledge hub by forking our GitHub repo and creating a PR with your files added to our examples/knoweldge folder!

Objective: Ask the AI model 'Command R plus' 'What is love'
Thought:
- I am on the Hugging Face website.
- Hugging Face is a company that hosts AI models, and allows users to interact with models on them through the chat.
- Therefore, to answer the objective of asking the AI model 'Command R Plus' 'What is love', we need first to find the model page.
- Given the current screenshot, the fastest way to find the model page seems to be to use the search bar.
Instruction: Type 'Command R plus' on the search bar with placeholder "Search ..." and click on the first result
