crewAI [BUG] Error when integrating with BrowserUse tool latest version 0.1.40

Description

I am trying to integrate latest versions of BrowserUse agent with CrewAI but there is incompatibility in langchain-openai versions and therefore have to revert back to very old version of BrowserUse.

Steps to Reproduce

Try creating crewAI project with following dependencies:

dependencies = [
    "browser-use>=0.1.40",
    "crewai[tools]>=0.114.0,<1.0.0"
]

It gives error

 we can conclude that browser-use>=0.1.40 and crewai[tools]==0.114.0 are incompatible.
      And because only crewai[tools]<=0.114.0 is available, we can conclude that browser-use>=0.1.40 and crewai[tools]>=0.114.0 are incompatible.
      And because your project depends on browser-use>=0.1.40 and crewai[tools]>=0.114.0, we can conclude that your project's requirements are unsatisfiable.

I have detailed error log in evidence

Expected behavior

Should be able to integrate BrowserUse's latest or at least versions which are only 2-3 versions old. Going back 17 versions just to ensure compatibility is not feasible

Possible Solution

Upgrading langchain-openai version may help

@anupmanekar I think this is somewhat dependent on the embedchain, I tried to find a version where everything will get resolved, but couldn't find any.

Browser use has a dependency on langchain-openai == 0.3.11 https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/f119d38daf5322ec4c760f8d3d247ad5e880b9f7/pyproject.toml#L23C6-L23C32

and embedchain has a restriction on langchain < 0.3.0

I see there is a open issue on embedchain as well: https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/issues/2568

Currently I feel the way you can resolve this is to downgrade your browser-use version

I think you might be able to resolve the conflict using version browser-use==0.1.23. It's not the newest version, but it doesn't seem that outdated.

Yup I think this might work.

Hi @Vidit-Ostwal, Yes I am at present using 0.1.23 version but its 4 months old and I need the newer features. Thanks for reference to mem0ai issue. I will followup on that.
