Agent Eyes is an open-source infrastructure tool that gives any AI Agent the ability to **search** and **read** the entire internet. One install, 10+ platforms, unified output.

> 🙏 Built on the shoulders of [x-reader](https://github.com/runesleo/x-reader) by [@runes_leo](https://x.com/runes_leo). Thank you for the foundation!

## Why Agent Eyes?

Your AI Agent is blind. It can only see what you manually feed it.

Agent Eyes gives it **eyes** — the ability to:
- **Search** the web, Reddit, GitHub with a single command
- **Read** any URL from 10+ platforms (articles, videos, tweets, posts)
- **Transcribe** videos and podcasts to text

Without this, your Agent is a chatbot waiting for instructions.  
With this, it can autonomously find and consume information — just like you do.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install
pip install git+https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-eyes.git

# Search the web
agent-eyes search "AI agent framework 2026"

# Read any URL
agent-eyes read https://reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/xxx
agent-eyes read https://github.com/openai/codex
agent-eyes read https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/xxx
agent-eyes read https://x.com/elonmusk/status/xxx

# Your Agent now has eyes 👁️
```

    print(content.title)
    print(content.content[:500])

asyncio.run(main())
```

## What's New (vs x-reader)

Agent Eyes extends x-reader with:

- 🟠 **Reddit support** — Read posts + comments, search subreddits. Proxy support for blocked IPs.
- 🐙 **GitHub support** — Read repos (README), issues, PRs. Search repositories.
- 🔍 **Web search** — Semantic search across the entire web via Exa.
- 🎯 **Agent-first design** — MCP Server with 7 tools, ready to plug into any AI Agent.

## Philosophy

This is **Agent infrastructure**. In the Web 4.0 era where AI Agents act on behalf of humans, the first capability they need is the ability to **see the world**.

Agent Eyes is the sensory layer — the eyes — that every Agent needs.
