👁️ Agent Eyes

Give your AI Agent eyes to see the entire internet.

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 by @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

# 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 👁️

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.
