Webwright

Webwright shows AI agents succeed by writing code, not clicking buttons.

For years, web agents have clicked their way through tasks, often losing the thread on long ones. Microsoft Research's Webwright takes a sharper path: hand the model a terminal and let it write code. On long-horizon work, the same GPT-5.4 model leaps from 33.5% to 60.1% success. That's a compelling argument for building tools over traces. It also pairs well with our look at how LLMs navigate token space, connecting structure to action. The result isn't just a finished job; it's a reusable command-line tool.
