# Web Read Agent

Web Read Agent uses a large language model (LLM) to extract information from webpages (HTML) and outputs the results to files in the working folder. If you're unfamiliar with how to prompt the language model to achieve task goals, use "**Ask EMILY**" to let the AI generate model-friendly goal prompts.

## Example

Using the Google Finance website as an example, the goal is to extract NVIDIA's stock price change percentage. First, load `https://www.google.com/finance/quote/NVDA:NASDAQ` using web automation.

![](https://docs.emily.tips/img/en/ai-agent-043.png)

For the Web Read Agent, select the model `Google/gemini-2.5-flash` and add a prompt with filename `nvda` and prompt content: price change percentage of NVDA.

Finally, click "**TEST**" to try it out, then check whether the content of `nvda.txt` in the working folder is correct.
