For years, web agents have worked one click at a time—and often fallen apart on long tasks. Microsoft Research’s Webwright makes a different bet: give the model a terminal and let it write the program instead. On long-horizon tasks, the same GPT-5.4 model jumps from 33.5% to 60.1% success.

And instead of leaving behind a click trace, it leaves something you can actually use again: a command-line tool.
