Magentic-UI greatly extends the applicability of automation tasks by integrating file handling and code execution capabilities. Its FileSurfer agent can find various files in the project directory and convert them to a standardized Markdown format, as well as answer queries related to file content. Meanwhile, the Coder agent supports the execution of Python and Shell commands in secure Docker containers, perfect for handling data analysis and visualization needs captured from web pages.
The practical value of this capability is reflected in: firstly, bridging the gap between web automation and local data processing; secondly, enabling simple web operations to seamlessly connect to complex computational tasks; and thirdly, providing users with an end-to-end complete solution. For example, users can first let WebSurfer automatically get the latest data from stock websites, then Coder Agent writes programs to analyze these data and generate visual reports, and finally FileSurfer saves the results as a file in a specified format.
