WebGen-Agent
WebGen-Agent is an advanced website generation agent designed to autonomously create websites from natural language instructions. It was introduced in the paper WebGen-Agent: Enhancing Interactive Website Generation with Multi-Level Feedback and Step-Level Reinforcement Learning.
Project Overview
WebGen-Agent combines state-of-the-art language models with specialized training techniques to create a powerful website generation tool. The agent can understand natural language instructions specifying appearance and functional requirements, iteratively generate website codebases, and refine them using visual and functional feedback.

How WebGen-Agent Works
WebGen-Agent follows an iterative, multi-step paradigm for website generation:
- Code Generation: The agent generates code to create or edit website files based on natural language instructions
- Code Execution: Dependencies are installed and the website service is started
- Feedback Gathering:
- A screenshot of the website is captured
- A Visual Language Model (VLM) provides appearance feedback and scores
- A GUI-agent tests the website functionality and provides functional feedback
- Refinement: Based on the feedback, the agent continues to improve the website until it meets requirements
Step-GRPO with Screenshot and GUI-agent Feedback
The Step-GRPO with Screenshot and GUI-agent Feedback approach uses the screenshot and GUI-agent scores inherently produced in the WebGen-Agent workflow as step-level rewards:
- Screenshot Score: Quantifies the visual appeal and aesthetics of the website
- GUI-agent Score: Measures how well the website meets functional requirements
These dual rewards provide dense, reliable process supervision that significantly improves the model's ability to generate high-quality websites.
