Let Agents Search the Web

Your friend wants to send $500 to her sister in New York but isn't sure if the exchange rate is still favorable. She remembers seeing “1 GBP → 1.24 USD” last week, but exchange rates can change daily.

To help her make a smart decision, you decide to build a code agent that can:

  • Look up live GBP -> USD rate
  • Summarize how the rate has changed over the past 7 days

You'll give your agent web search powers using the built-in VisitWebpageTool.

Note: The model has been initialized for you. The CodeAgent class has been imported as well.

Instructions

  • Import the VisitWebpageTool from the smolagents library.
  • Create the agent using the provided model and a tools list that includes an instance of VisitWebpageTool().
  • Run the agent using the .run() method and pass in the task.
