Web$hell: A Unified Interface for Agentic Web Access
Web$hell is a unified interface that consolidates various web access methods—search, browser actions, and filesystem interactions—into a single model for large language model agents. It uses a WebContract schema to compile live webpages into addressable information and action objects, which are stored in a WebCache and manipulated through shared operations. Experiments across search, navigation, and research tasks show that Web$hell delivers strong performance at lower cost, highlighting the role of interface design in enhancing agentic web access.
