BUA – Browser Use Agent for Go

BUA is an open-source Go framework for browser automation in which an AI agent interprets natural-language instructions and operates websites through Chrome or Chromium. It connects programmatic Go code with browser interaction, using Gemini in the documented quick start and identifying Google ADK and Chrome DevTools Protocol among its technical components.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use BUA when a Go application needs an AI agent to interpret and perform multi-step website tasks instead of relying on manually maintained selectors. The repository directly demonstrates passing a natural-language task to agent.Run.

Who it is for

  • Go developers building AI-powered browser workflows
  • Teams creating internal tools that interact with websites
  • Developers exploring natural-language browser testing or research automation

Documented uses

  • Turn a plain-English website request into agent-run browser actions
  • Automate product search and comparison workflows
  • Gather information from live web pages through an agent
  • Build Go services that delegate browser actions to an AI agent
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and lists an MIT license. The documented setup requires Go 1.25 or newer, Chrome or Chromium, and a Gemini API key.

  • Go is the implementation language and the documented installation uses the Go package.
  • Gemini is required by the documented quick-start configuration.
  • Chrome or Chromium is a setup prerequisite.
  • Headless mode, screenshots, browser profiles, viewport settings and model selection are exposed through configuration.
  • The repository documents Chrome DevTools Protocol and Google ADK among the technical components.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up a Go browser agent for a natural-language task

Create and start a BUA agent, then submit a plain-English browser task.

Before you start

  • Go 1.25 or newer
  • Chrome or Chromium installed
  • A Gemini API key
  • A Go project using github.com/anxuanzi/bua

Steps

  1. Install the package with go get github.com/anxuanzi/bua.

  2. Create a bua.Config with the Gemini API key and construct the agent with bua.New.

  3. Create a context, call agent.Start, and submit a natural-language request through agent.Run.

  4. Read the returned result fields and close the agent when finished.

Expected outcome

A Go program receives the documented agent result, including success status, step count and duration.

Guide limitations

  • The documented evidence does not establish which websites, actions or authentication flows are supported beyond the examples.
  • The repository example uses Gemini and requires a Gemini API key.
