Announcing Tarsier
If you've tried using GPT-4(V) to automate web interactions, you've probably run into questions like:
- How do you map LLM responses back into web elements?
- How can you mark up a page for an LLM better understand its action space?
- How do you feed a "screenshot" to a text-only LLM?
At Reworkd, we found ourselves reusing the same utility libraries to solve these problems across multiple projects.
Because of this we're now open-sourcing this simple utility library for multimodal web agents... Tarsier!
The video below demonstrates Tarsier usage by feeding a page snapshot into a langchain agent and letting it take actions.

How does it work?
Tarsier works by visually "tagging" interactable elements on a page via brackets + an id such as [1]
.
In doing this, we provide a mapping between elements and ids for GPT-4(V) to take actions upon.
We define interactable elements as buttons, links, or input fields that are visible on the page.
Can provide a textual representation of the page. This means that Tarsier enables deeper interaction for even non multi-modal LLMs.
This is important to note given performance issues with existing vision language models.
Tarsier also provides OCR utils to convert a page screenshot into a whitespace-structured string that an LLM without vision can understand.
Usage
Visit our cookbook for agent examples using Tarsier:
Otherwise, basic Tarsier usage might look like the following:
import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
from tarsier import Tarsier, GoogleVisionOCRService
async def main():
google_cloud_credentials = {}
ocr_service = GoogleVisionOCRService(google_cloud_credentials)
tarsier = Tarsier(ocr_service)
async with async_playwright() as p:
browser = await p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
page = await browser.new_page()
await page.goto("https://news.ycombinator.com")
page_text, tag_to_xpath = await tarsier.page_to_text(page)
print(tag_to_xpath) # Mapping of tags to x_paths
print(page_text) # My Text representation of the page
if __name__ == '__main__':
asyncio.run(main())
Supported OCR Services

- Amazon Textract (Coming Soon)
- Microsoft Azure Computer Vision (Coming Soon)
