## The Hook

Magentic-UI is Microsoft's human-in-the-loop web agent: it drafts a plan with you, then browses websites and runs code while you watch and approve the steps.

## What's Good

MIT (microsoft/magentic-ui), release v0.2.1 (2026-05-21). ★~10.1k. Useful when you want a browsing agent you can steer and stop, for example to study how co-planning and step approval change what an agent does, rather than one that runs off on its own.

## The Catch

It is a research prototype, still pre-1.0, and the last commit on the default branch is 2026-07-23. Treat it as something to learn from and experiment with, not a maintained product.

## Verdict

A good look at supervised web agents; do not build production on it.
