Salesforce takes a new approach to web agents with WALT

Salesforce Research has introduced a new framework that enables web agents to better navigate websites by leveraging the native tools and features those sites already contain. The framework, called WALT (Web Agents that Learn Tools), examines a website’s functionality to extract tools that abstract away low-level execution. This means that instead of reasoning about how to click and type, agents simply think in terms of tools such as searching, filtering, or adding new items to lists. WALT outperforms other web agent frameworks on key industry benchmarks and paves the way for more robust and versatile web agents.
