title: CrewAI | Lightcone
description: Add Lightcone browser automation as a tool for CrewAI multi-agent workflows.
---

Use Lightcone as a [CrewAI](https://crewai.com) tool to give your agents the ability to browse the web, fill forms, take screenshots, and extract data.

## Install

Terminal window

```
pip install crewai tzafon
```

## Example

```
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai.tools import BaseTool
from tzafon import Lightcone




class LightconeBrowserTool(BaseTool):
    name: str = "browser"
    description: str = (
        "Browse a website and return a screenshot URL. "
        "Input should be a URL to visit."
    )


    def _run(self, url: str) -> str:
        client = Lightcone()
        with client.computer.create(kind="browser") as computer:
            computer.navigate(url)
            computer.wait(2)
            result = computer.screenshot()
            return computer.get_screenshot_url(result)




# Create an agent with the browser tool
researcher = Agent(
    role="Web Researcher",
    goal="Find information on websites",
    backstory="You are a skilled web researcher.",
    tools=[LightconeBrowserTool()],
)


task = Task(
    description="Visit https://news.ycombinator.com and describe the top 3 stories",
    expected_output="A summary of the top 3 stories on Hacker News",
    agent=researcher,
)


crew = Crew(agents=[researcher], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)
```

## How it works

The integration wraps Lightcone’s browser actions into a CrewAI `BaseTool`. When a CrewAI agent decides it needs to visit a website, it calls the tool, which:

1. Creates a Lightcone browser session
2. Navigates to the URL
3. Takes a screenshot and returns the URL
4. Terminates the session

You can extend the tool to support more actions (clicking, typing, form filling) based on your workflow needs.
