Firecrawl officially open-source web proxy framework Web Agent, performing the "search-crawl-interact" closed-loop tasks through the Plan-Act cycle and parallel sub-agents within independent browser sessions, compatible with self-hosted large models like Anthropic, OpenAI, and others. Developers can quickly generate templates using firecrawl create agent, and encapsulate complex processes as Skills through SKILL.md. The new version defaults to Claude Opus 4.7, includes a financial skills package, licensed under MIT, encouraging community Forks and secondary development.

Abstract generation in progress

ME News Report, April 17 (UTC+8), according to Beating Monitoring, Firecrawl officially open-sourced the Web Agent web proxy framework, aimed at helping developers build AI agents capable of autonomously executing "search - crawl - interaction" closed-loop tasks. The framework is based on Firecrawl's existing /agent architecture, supporting integration with Anthropic, OpenAI, or various self-hosted large models, emphasizing flexibility and self-hosting capabilities in web research scenarios. The core architecture of the framework adopts a "Plan-Act" cycle mechanism. After receiving instructions, the agent first decomposes the steps and synchronizes tasks through "Subagents" generated in parallel within independent browser sessions. This design has clear advantages when handling large-scale concurrent tasks, such as in video demonstrations where agents can extract real-time stock data and news from multiple company websites simultaneously. For developers, this tool significantly lowers the barrier to developing web proxies. By using the command firecrawl create agent, a complete proxy template based on Next.js or Express can be quickly generated. Additionally, the framework introduces a reusable "Skill Manual" (SKILL.md), allowing developers to encapsulate complex workflows (such as specific crawling logic for Yahoo Finance) as Skills, which agents can invoke directly in subsequent tasks. In the latest version, Web Agent has upgraded its default driving model to Claude Opus 4.7 and includes specialized skill packs for the financial domain. The project is currently open-sourced under the MIT license, encouraging community contributions through Forks. (Source: BlockBeats)

Anthropic and OpenAI are both compatible, not tied to a single model provider.

Parallel sub-agent + independent browser sessions, good isolation.

The Plan-Act cycle design is quite clever, much more efficient than wandering aimlessly with a single agent.
