"content": "You are an expert at completing tasks using a web browser.\nYou have deep knowledge of the web and use only the highest quality sources.\nYou focus on the task at hand and complete one step at a time.\nYou adapt to situations and find creative ways to complete tasks without getting stuck.\n\nIMPORTANT:\n- You can see the entire page content through the accessibility tree snapshot.\n- The accessibility tree shows all currently loaded page elements. On dynamic pages, some content may only appear after scrolling or interaction — if expected data isn't visible, try scrolling or interacting to trigger loading.\n- Focus on the elements you need to interact with directly.\n\nToday's Date: May 15, 2026\n\nAnalyze the current page state and determine your next action based on previous outcomes.\n\n**Available Tools:**\n- click({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Click on an element on the page\n- fill({\"ref\": \"E###\", \"value\": \"text\"}) - Fill text into an input field\n- select({\"ref\": \"E###\", \"value\": \"option\"}) - Select an option from a dropdown\n- hover({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Hover over an element\n- check({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Check a checkbox\n- uncheck({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Uncheck a checkbox\n- focus({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Focus on an element\n- enter({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Press Enter key on an element (useful for form submission)\n- wait({\"seconds\": 3}) - Wait for a specified number of seconds\n- goto({\"url\": \"https://example.com\"}) - Navigate to a URL that was previously seen in the conversation\n- back() - Go back to the previous page\n- forward() - Go forward to the next page\n- extract({\"description\": \"data to extract\"}) - Extract specific data from the current page for later reference\n- webSearch({\"query\": \"search terms\"}) - Search the web for information. Returns the search results page as markdown. Use when you need to find websites or information but don't know the URL.\n- done({\"result\": \"your final answer\"}) - Complete the task with your final answer\n- abort({\"reason\": \"what was tried and why it failed\"}) - Abort the task when it cannot be completed due to site issues, blocking, or missing data\n\n**Core Rules:**\n1. Use element refs from page snapshot. They are found in square brackets: [ref=E###].\n2. Execute EXACTLY ONE tool per turn\n3. Complete planned steps before using done()\n4. done() provides your final answer to the user\n5. goto() only accepts URLs from earlier in conversation\n6. Use wait() for page loads, animations, or dynamic content\n\n\n**CRITICAL:** You MUST use exactly ONE tool with valid arguments EVERY turn. Choose:\n- done(result) if task is complete\n- abort(reason) if task cannot be completed due to site issues, blocking, or missing data\n- Appropriate action tool if work remains\n- extract() if you need more information\n\n**Best Practices:**\n- The accessibility tree shows currently loaded elements; dynamic pages may load more content on scroll\n- Clear obstructing modals/popups first\n- Prefer click() over goto() for page navigation\n- Submit forms via enter() or submit button after filling\n- Find alternative elements if primary ones aren't available\n- When click() fails due to element interception, try focus() first, then keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, arrow keys), or press Escape to dismiss overlapping overlays\n- For autocomplete/combobox search fields (e.g., flight origin/destination, location pickers): after fill(), use focus() on a visible suggestion in the dropdown followed by enter() to select it — click() on autocomplete suggestions often times out\n- For date pickers and calendar widgets: prefer typing dates directly into the date input field using fill() rather than clicking through calendar months; if the field doesn't respond to fill(), try focus() on it first; avoid repeated calendar navigation clicks — if clicking \"next month\" fails twice, try filling the date field directly or using keyboard input\n- When you receive an 'Invalid element reference' error, the page DOM has changed — read the updated page snapshot on your next turn and use the new element refs; do not retry old ref IDs\n- Adapt your approach based on what's actually available\n- If you don't find relevant links or buttons, and the site has a search form, prioritize using it for navigation\n- If you have found the core information requested but cannot access supplementary details due to site limitations, use done() with what you have — only use abort() when the core task cannot be completed at all\n- For research: Use extract() immediately when finding relevant data\n- For academic papers or documents that require reading, counting, or extracting content (e.g., counting figures/tables, reading body text): PDFs are often unscrollable and unreadable — use webSearch to find an HTML version (e.g., ACL Anthology, Semantic Scholar) or the abstract page before attempting the PDF\n- If you need to search the web, use webSearch({query}) directly rather than filling in a browser search engine (DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, etc.) — webSearch avoids CAPTCHA and bot detection that will block browser-based searches\n\n- A starting URL was provided — **focus on that site first**. Use webSearch only if you need supplementary information beyond what the site provides\n\n\n**When using done():**\nProvide your final answer:\n- Think of this as a final deliverable, not part of a conversation\n- Match the depth to the task (brief for simple queries, detailed for research)\n- Write naturally and informatively\n- Include all requested information\n- Format results as VALID Markdown\n- NEVER return raw JSON - ALWAYS format structured data as VALID Markdown\n- If the task required finding content that meets specific criteria (minimum rating, review count, price range, ingredient count, etc.), explicitly confirm each criterion was met in your answer\n\n\n\n\n\nYou MUST use exactly one tool with the required parameters.\nUse valid JSON format for all arguments.\nCRITICAL: Use each tool exactly ONCE. Do not repeat or duplicate the same tool call multiple times."

On dynamic pages, some content may only appear after scrolling or interaction — if expected data isn't visible, try scrolling or interacting to trigger loading.\n- Focus on the elements you need to interact with directly.\n\nToday's Date: May 15, 2026\n\nAnalyze the current page state and determine your next action based on previous outcomes.\n\n**Available Tools:**\n- click({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Click on an element on the page\n- fill({\"ref\": \"E###\", \"value\": \"text\"}) - Fill text into an input field\n- select({\"ref\": \"E###\", \"value\": \"option\"}) - Select an option from a dropdown\n- hover({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Hover over an element\n- check({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Check a checkbox\n- uncheck({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Uncheck a checkbox\n- focus({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Focus on an element\n- enter({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Press Enter key on an element (useful for form submission)\n- wait({\"seconds\": 3}) - Wait for a specified number of seconds\n- goto({\"url\": \"https://example.com\"}) - Navigate to a URL that was previously seen in the conversation\n- back() - Go back to the previous page\n- forward() - Go forward to the next page\n- extract({\"description\": \"data to extract\"}) - Extract specific data from the current page for later reference\n- webSearch({\"query\": \"search terms\"}) - Search the web for information. Returns the search results page as markdown. Use when you need to find websites or information but don't know the URL.\n- done({\"result\": \"your final answer\"}) - Complete the task with your final answer\n- abort({\"reason\": \"what was tried and why it failed\"}) - Abort the task when it cannot be completed due to site issues, blocking, or missing data\n\n**Core Rules:**\n1. Use element refs from page snapshot. They are found in square brackets: [ref=E###].\n2. Execute EXACTLY ONE tool per turn\n3. Complete planned steps before using done()\n4. done() provides your final answer to the user\n5. goto() only accepts URLs from earlier in conversation\n6. Use wait() for page loads, animations, or dynamic content\n\n\n**CRITICAL:** You MUST use exactly ONE tool with valid arguments EVERY turn. Choose:\n- done(result) if task is complete\n- abort(reason) if task cannot be completed due to site issues, blocking, or missing data\n- Appropriate action tool if work remains\n- extract() if you need more information\n\n**Best Practices:**\n- The accessibility tree shows currently loaded elements; dynamic pages may load more content on scroll\n- Clear obstructing modals/popups first\n- Prefer click() over goto() for page navigation\n- Submit forms via enter() or submit button after filling\n- Find alternative elements if primary ones aren't available\n- When click() fails due to element interception, try focus() first, then keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, arrow keys), or press Escape to dismiss overlapping overlays\n- For autocomplete/combobox search fields (e.g., flight origin/destination, location pickers): after fill(), use focus() on a visible suggestion in the dropdown followed by enter() to select it — click() on autocomplete suggestions often times out\n- For date pickers and calendar widgets: prefer typing dates directly into the date input field using fill() rather than clicking through calendar months; if the field doesn't respond to fill(), try focus() on it first; avoid repeated calendar navigation clicks — if clicking \"next month\" fails twice, try filling the date field directly or using keyboard input\n- When you receive an 'Invalid element reference' error, the page DOM has changed — read the updated page snapshot on your next turn and use the new element refs; do not retry old ref IDs\n- Adapt your approach based on what's actually available\n- If you don't find relevant links or buttons, and the site has a search form, prioritize using it for navigation\n- If you have found the core information requested but cannot access supplementary details due to site limitations, use done() with what you have — only use abort() when the core task cannot be completed at all\n- For research: Use extract() immediately when finding relevant data\n- For academic papers or documents that require reading, counting, or extracting content (e.g., counting figures/tables, reading body text): PDFs are often unscrollable and unreadable — use webSearch to find an HTML version (e.g., ACL Anthology, Semantic Scholar) or the abstract page before attempting the PDF\n- If you need to search the web, use webSearch({query}) directly rather than filling in a browser search engine (DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, etc.) — webSearch avoids CAPTCHA and bot detection that will block browser-based searches\n\n- A starting URL was provided — **focus on that site first**. Use webSearch only if you need supplementary information beyond what the site provides\n\n\n**When using done():**\nProvide your final answer:\n- Think of this as a final deliverable, not part of a conversation\n- Match the depth to the task (brief for simple queries, detailed for research)\n- Write naturally and informatively\n- Include all requested information\n- Format results as VALID Markdown\n- NEVER return raw JSON - ALWAYS format structured data as VALID Markdown\n- If the task required finding content that meets specific criteria (minimum rating, review count, price range, ingredient count, etc.), explicitly confirm each criterion was met in your answer\n\n\n\n\n\nYou MUST use exactly one tool with the required parameters.\nUse valid JSON format for all arguments.\nCRITICAL: Use each tool exactly ONCE. Do not repeat or duplicate the same tool call multiple times."

Each line represents an element with:\n- Element type (button, link, textbox, generic, etc.)\n- Text content in quotes or description\n- Reference ID in brackets like [ref=E###] - use these exact IDs when interacting with elements\n- Properties like [cursor=pointer] or [disabled]\nExample: button \"Submit Form\" [ref=E455] [cursor=pointer]\n\nThis shows the complete current page content. A labeled screenshot is included. The screenshot marks interactive elements (links, buttons, inputs) with colored badges showing their ref IDs (E1, E2, etc.). The tree above includes refs on all visible elements for structural context — only the interactive ones are labeled in the screenshot.\n\n**Your task:**\n- Analyze the current state and select your next action\n- Target the most relevant elements for your objective\n- If an action fails, adapt immediately—don't repeat failed attempts\n- Find alternative approaches when planned steps aren't viable\n- Use the labeled screenshot to visually locate interactive elements and match them to [ref=E###] IDs in the tree\n- Follow all guardrails\n\nYou MUST use exactly one tool with the required parameters.\nUse valid JSON format for all arguments.\nCRITICAL: Use each tool exactly ONCE. Do not repeat or duplicate the same tool call multiple times."

"content": "You are an expert at completing tasks using a web browser.\nYou have deep knowledge of the web and use only the highest quality sources.\nYou focus on the task at hand and complete one step at a time.\nYou adapt to situations and find creative ways to complete tasks without getting stuck.\n\nIMPORTANT:\n- You can see the entire page content through the accessibility tree snapshot.\n- The accessibility tree shows all currently loaded page elements. On dynamic pages, some content may only appear after scrolling or interaction — if expected data isn't visible, try scrolling or interacting to trigger loading.\n- Focus on the elements you need to interact with directly.\n\nToday's Date: May 15, 2026\n\nAnalyze the current page state and determine your next action based on previous outcomes.\n\n**Available Tools:**\n- click({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Click on an element on the page\n- fill({\"ref\": \"E###\", \"value\": \"text\"}) - Fill text into an input field\n- select({\"ref\": \"E###\", \"value\": \"option\"}) - Select an option from a dropdown\n- hover({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Hover over an element\n- check({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Check a checkbox\n- uncheck({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Uncheck a checkbox\n- focus({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Focus on an element\n- enter({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Press Enter key on an element (useful for form submission)\n- wait({\"seconds\": 3}) - Wait for a specified number of seconds\n- goto({\"url\": \"https://example.com\"}) - Navigate to a URL that was previously seen in the conversation\n- back() - Go back to the previous page\n- forward() - Go forward to the next page\n- extract({\"description\": \"data to extract\"}) - Extract specific data from the current page for later reference\n- webSearch({\"query\": \"search terms\"}) - Search the web for information. Returns the search results page as markdown. Use when you need to find websites or information but don't know the URL.\n- done({\"result\": \"your final answer\"}) - Complete the task with your final answer\n- abort({\"reason\": \"what was tried and why it failed\"}) - Abort the task when it cannot be completed due to site issues, blocking, or missing data\n\n**Core Rules:**\n1. Use element refs from page snapshot. They are found in square brackets: [ref=E###].\n2. Execute EXACTLY ONE tool per turn\n3. Complete planned steps before using done()\n4. done() provides your final answer to the user\n5. goto() only accepts URLs from earlier in conversation\n6. Use wait() for page loads, animations, or dynamic content\n\n\n**CRITICAL:** You MUST use exactly ONE tool with valid arguments EVERY turn. Choose:\n- done(result) if task is complete\n- abort(reason) if task cannot be completed due to site issues, blocking, or missing data\n- Appropriate action tool if work remains\n- extract() if you need more information\n\n**Best Practices:**\n- The accessibility tree shows currently loaded elements; dynamic pages may load more content on scroll\n- Clear obstructing modals/popups first\n- Prefer click() over goto() for page navigation\n- Submit forms via enter() or submit button after filling\n- Find alternative elements if primary ones aren't available\n- When click() fails due to element interception, try focus() first, then keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, arrow keys), or press Escape to dismiss overlapping overlays\n- For autocomplete/combobox search fields (e.g., flight origin/destination, location pickers): after fill(), use focus() on a visible suggestion in the dropdown followed by enter() to select it — click() on autocomplete suggestions often times out\n- For date pickers and calendar widgets: prefer typing dates directly into the date input field using fill() rather than clicking through calendar months; if the field doesn't respond to fill(), try focus() on it first; avoid repeated calendar navigation clicks — if clicking \"next month\" fails twice, try filling the date field directly or using keyboard input\n- When you receive an 'Invalid element reference' error, the page DOM has changed — read the updated page snapshot on your next turn and use the new element refs; do not retry old ref IDs\n- Adapt your approach based on what's actually available\n- If you don't find relevant links or buttons, and the site has a search form, prioritize using it for navigation\n- If you have found the core information requested but cannot access supplementary details due to site limitations, use done() with what you have — only use abort() when the core task cannot be completed at all\n- For research: Use extract() immediately when finding relevant data\n- For academic papers or documents that require reading, counting, or extracting content (e.g., counting figures/tables, reading body text): PDFs are often unscrollable and unreadable — use webSearch to find an HTML version (e.g., ACL Anthology, Semantic Scholar) or the abstract page before attempting the PDF\n- If you need to search the web, use webSearch({query}) directly rather than filling in a browser search engine (DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, etc.) — webSearch avoids CAPTCHA and bot detection that will block browser-based searches\n\n- A starting URL was provided — **focus on that site first**. Use webSearch only if you need supplementary information beyond what the site provides\n\n\n**When using done():**\nProvide your final answer:\n- Think of this as a final deliverable, not part of a conversation\n- Match the depth to the task (brief for simple queries, detailed for research)\n- Write naturally and informatively\n- Include all requested information\n- Format results as VALID Markdown\n- NEVER return raw JSON - ALWAYS format structured data as VALID Markdown\n- If the task required finding content that meets specific criteria (minimum rating, review count, price range, ingredient count, etc.), explicitly confirm each criterion was met in your answer\n\n\n\n\n\nYou MUST use exactly one tool with the required parameters.\nUse valid JSON format for all arguments.\nCRITICAL: Use each tool exactly ONCE. Do not repeat or duplicate the same tool call multiple times."

Describe the main subject of the first image in the story.\nSuccess Criteria: A great response will identify an AI-related story from either the Technology or Business sections of BBC News and provide a clear description of the main subject of the first image within that story.\nPlan: ## Overall Strategy\nThis is a research task. I will navigate the BBC News website to find an AI-related story within the Technology or Business sections. After selecting a suitable story, I will open it and describe the main subject of its first image.\n\n## Step-by-step Plan\n1. Go to the BBC News homepage (https://www.bbc.com/news/).\n2. Locate and click on the \"Technology\" or \"Business\" section link.\n3. Browse the articles in the chosen section to find a story related to Artificial Intelligence (AI).\n4. Click on the identified AI-related story.\n5. Identify the first image within the story's content.\n6. Describe the main subject of the first image.\n\n"

But the concerns are serious enough that you might want to rethink how you use these tools – before it's too late.\n> paragraph [ref=E93]: With this in mind, I spoke with some leading experts in this field to find out how they think we should use AI to ensure it doesn't dull our minds.\n> h2 \"What are we worried about?\" [ref=E94]:\n> generic [ref=E95]: What are we worried about?\n> paragraph [ref=E96]:\n> \"Twenty years ago, an idea cropped up that overreliance on technology might cause some kind of \"\"\n> a \"digital dementia\" [ref=E97] [cursor=pointer]:\n> \"\"\\\" resulting in the deterioration of short-term memory and other cognitive processes.

The essay can sound better. The presentation can look sharper. The retirement party joke can land perfectly.

Those are exactly the topics where you need to bring your own judgment first. Try forming a rough view on the subject and using AI to challenge your perspective before you get the robot's opinion. That way AI is pressure-testing your thinking, rather than replacing it.\n> h2 \"Add friction to your research\" [ref=E121]:\n> generic [ref=E122]: Add friction to your research\n> paragraph [ref=E123]: \"\\\"If you look at something, it is in front of you and your vision sees it, you often think it's in long-term memory when it is not,\\\" says Barbara Oakley, an emeritus professor of engineering at the University of Oakland in the US who studies how the brain learns.\"\n> generic [ref=E124]:\n> paragraph [ref=E125]:\n> \"There is some early research to suggest that AI can mess with\"\n> a \"your ability to retain information\" [ref=E126] [cursor=pointer]:\n> \".

Self-reported assessments aren't hard science, but other research, such as an unpublished 2024 study, reveals that\"\n> a \"priming your brain with some light problem solving\" [ref=E128] [cursor=pointer]:\n> \"before using an AI chatbot can improve what you learn from the AI.\"\n> paragraph [ref=E129]:\n> \"When you're asking AI for your information you need to remember, it's also worth slowing down to engage with it. Take notes –\"\n> a \"ideally by hand\" [ref=E130] [cursor=pointer]:\n> \"\", but typing them out works too. You can even ask the AI to quiz you, or to come up with flashcards. The work makes it stick.

This could be weakening your\"\n> a \"ability to be creative\" [ref=E136] [cursor=pointer]:\n> \".\"\n> paragraph [ref=E137]: Your brain builds creative capacity by making unexpected connections, Green says. Hand that job to AI, and you skip the workout. \"We're worried about losing your creative muscle,\" says Green. \"AI is tricking us in a number of ways to make us think that it is actually making us more creative.\"\n> generic [ref=E138]:\n> paragraph [ref=E139]: One approach to overcome this is to put your own ideas down on paper first, even if they're rough. Spend more time with a blank page and write whatever comes. The quality doesn't matter. What matters is that your brain is making the connections, and reaching across your own experiences, memories and knowledge to produce something only you could have come up with. That's the workout. Then use AI to develop, poke holes in or refine what you've got.\n> h2 \"Pay attention\" [ref=E140]:\n> generic [ref=E141]: Pay attention\n> paragraph [ref=E142]:\n> \"You've made it this far into the article. Well done. But if your attention is starting to wander, you're not alone. It could be that my writing is boring you.

Green predicts that forcing ourselves to \\\"think outside the bots\\\" will become a natural survival impulse to make it in society.\"\n> paragraph [ref=E162]: And, as Benge points out, we've been down this road before. \"Our brains have always adapted to technology. We adapt all the time. It is our strength as a species,\" he says. \"Have we lost the ability to run marathons because we have cars? No. It becomes something that humans do because we want to do it.\"\n> paragraph [ref=E163]: The tools change.

"content": "You are an expert at completing tasks using a web browser.\nYou have deep knowledge of the web and use only the highest quality sources.\nYou focus on the task at hand and complete one step at a time.\nYou adapt to situations and find creative ways to complete tasks without getting stuck.\n\nIMPORTANT:\n- You can see the entire page content through the accessibility tree snapshot.\n- The accessibility tree shows all currently loaded page elements. On dynamic pages, some content may only appear after scrolling or interaction — if expected data isn't visible, try scrolling or interacting to trigger loading.\n- Focus on the elements you need to interact with directly.\n\nToday's Date: May 15, 2026\n\nAnalyze the current page state and determine your next action based on previous outcomes.\n\n**Available Tools:**\n- click({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Click on an element on the page\n- fill({\"ref\": \"E###\", \"value\": \"text\"}) - Fill text into an input field\n- select({\"ref\": \"E###\", \"value\": \"option\"}) - Select an option from a dropdown\n- hover({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Hover over an element\n- check({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Check a checkbox\n- uncheck({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Uncheck a checkbox\n- focus({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Focus on an element\n- enter({\"ref\": \"E###\"}) - Press Enter key on an element (useful for form submission)\n- wait({\"seconds\": 3}) - Wait for a specified number of seconds\n- goto({\"url\": \"https://example.com\"}) - Navigate to a URL that was previously seen in the conversation\n- back() - Go back to the previous page\n- forward() - Go forward to the next page\n- extract({\"description\": \"data to extract\"}) - Extract specific data from the current page for later reference\n- webSearch({\"query\": \"search terms\"}) - Search the web for information. Returns the search results page as markdown. Use when you need to find websites or information but don't know the URL.\n- done({\"result\": \"your final answer\"}) - Complete the task with your final answer\n- abort({\"reason\": \"what was tried and why it failed\"}) - Abort the task when it cannot be completed due to site issues, blocking, or missing data\n\n**Core Rules:**\n1. Use element refs from page snapshot. They are found in square brackets: [ref=E###].\n2. Execute EXACTLY ONE tool per turn\n3. Complete planned steps before using done()\n4. done() provides your final answer to the user\n5. goto() only accepts URLs from earlier in conversation\n6. Use wait() for page loads, animations, or dynamic content\n\n\n**CRITICAL:** You MUST use exactly ONE tool with valid arguments EVERY turn. Choose:\n- done(result) if task is complete\n- abort(reason) if task cannot be completed due to site issues, blocking, or missing data\n- Appropriate action tool if work remains\n- extract() if you need more information\n\n**Best Practices:**\n- The accessibility tree shows currently loaded elements; dynamic pages may load more content on scroll\n- Clear obstructing modals/popups first\n- Prefer click() over goto() for page navigation\n- Submit forms via enter() or submit button after filling\n- Find alternative elements if primary ones aren't available\n- When click() fails due to element interception, try focus() first, then keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, arrow keys), or press Escape to dismiss overlapping overlays\n- For autocomplete/combobox search fields (e.g., flight origin/destination, location pickers): after fill(), use focus() on a visible suggestion in the dropdown followed by enter() to select it — click() on autocomplete suggestions often times out\n- For date pickers and calendar widgets: prefer typing dates directly into the date input field using fill() rather than clicking through calendar months; if the field doesn't respond to fill(), try focus() on it first; avoid repeated calendar navigation clicks — if clicking \"next month\" fails twice, try filling the date field directly or using keyboard input\n- When you receive an 'Invalid element reference' error, the page DOM has changed — read the updated page snapshot on your next turn and use the new element refs; do not retry old ref IDs\n- Adapt your approach based on what's actually available\n- If you don't find relevant links or buttons, and the site has a search form, prioritize using it for navigation\n- If you have found the core information requested but cannot access supplementary details due to site limitations, use done() with what you have — only use abort() when the core task cannot be completed at all\n- For research: Use extract() immediately when finding relevant data\n- For academic papers or documents that require reading, counting, or extracting content (e.g., counting figures/tables, reading body text): PDFs are often unscrollable and unreadable — use webSearch to find an HTML version (e.g., ACL Anthology, Semantic Scholar) or the abstract page before attempting the PDF\n- If you need to search the web, use webSearch({query}) directly rather than filling in a browser search engine (DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, etc.) — webSearch avoids CAPTCHA and bot detection that will block browser-based searches\n\n- A starting URL was provided — **focus on that site first**. Use webSearch only if you need supplementary information beyond what the site provides\n\n\n**When using done():**\nProvide your final answer:\n- Think of this as a final deliverable, not part of a conversation\n- Match the depth to the task (brief for simple queries, detailed for research)\n- Write naturally and informatively\n- Include all requested information\n- Format results as VALID Markdown\n- NEVER return raw JSON - ALWAYS format structured data as VALID Markdown\n- If the task required finding content that meets specific criteria (minimum rating, review count, price range, ingredient count, etc.), explicitly confirm each criterion was met in your answer\n\n\n\n\n\nYou MUST use exactly one tool with the required parameters.\nUse valid JSON format for all arguments.\nCRITICAL: Use each tool exactly ONCE. Do not repeat or duplicate the same tool call multiple times."

Spend more time with a blank page and write whatever comes. The quality doesn't matter. What matters is that your brain is making the connections, and reaching across your own experiences, memories and knowledge to produce something only you could have come up with. That's the workout.

We adapt all the time. It is our strength as a species,\" he says. \"Have we lost the ability to run marathons because we have cars? No. It becomes something that humans do because we want to do it.\"\n> paragraph [ref=E163]: The tools change.

Each line represents an element with:\n- Element type (button, link, textbox, generic, etc.)\n- Text content in quotes or description\n- Reference ID in brackets like [ref=E###] - use these exact IDs when interacting with elements\n- Properties like [cursor=pointer] or [disabled]\nExample: button \"Submit Form\" [ref=E455] [cursor=pointer]\n\nThis shows the complete current page content. A labeled screenshot is included. The screenshot marks interactive elements (links, buttons, inputs) with colored badges showing their ref IDs (E1, E2, etc.). The tree above includes refs on all visible elements for structural context — only the interactive ones are labeled in the screenshot.\n\n**Your task:**\n- Analyze the current state and select your next action\n- Target the most relevant elements for your objective\n- If an action fails, adapt immediately—don't repeat failed attempts\n- Find alternative approaches when planned steps aren't viable\n- Use the labeled screenshot to visually locate interactive elements and match them to [ref=E###] IDs in the tree\n- Follow all guardrails\n\nYou MUST use exactly one tool with the required parameters.\nUse valid JSON format for all arguments.\nCRITICAL: Use each tool exactly ONCE. Do not repeat or duplicate the same tool call multiple times."

Please include the story title, confirm it is from BBC News, and specify whether it is from the Technology or Business section.\n\nDo not repeat your previous answer. Address the issues identified above.\nIf you cannot address the feedback due to genuine site limitations (disabled UI, inaccessible content), call done() with the best answer available rather than aborting."
