agents.json is a structured configuration file designed to facilitate the future framework for autonomous AI agents in navigating and interacting with specific web interfaces. It acts as a guide, providing detailed instructions for agents on interacting with different elements of a web page, enabling them to perform tasks autonomously.

Looking ahead, AI models are slowly showing agentic behavior, and more work is being put into making semi-autonomous systems/fully autonomous systems. However, the current state of websites and web platforms are built for humans to interact with and not AI agents. Lots of research has been put into UI understanding with multi-modal models, but such methods can be brittle and expensive.

The purpose of agents.json is to provide a clear and standardized description of UI interactions on a website that autonomous agents can follow. This file is crucial for enabling AI-driven models to understand and execute web-based tasks effectively, such as searching, navigating, or processing transactions on behalf of a user. You can think of agents.json as similar to how robots.txt instructs search engines to crawl your site; agents.json instructs autonomous agents how to use your site!

The agents.json file outlines the interactions available on various website pages, specifying how to interact with important UI elements. This standardization helps in automating tasks that typically require human interaction.
