Hi,
I am a new user. I am trying to use the OWUI community tool DeepResearch tool from JAYADEEPV on the community web site. It requires Browser Use web-ui. I have installed it and serving it on port 7788. It works fine in a browser but not in OWUI.

When I try to invoke the tool in OWUI, it gives an error: BrowserUI API - network error.
Does this community tool require an API from Browser Use?

My installation is on local network - Raspberry Pi 5.
I start the Browser Use with --ip 192.168.x.xxx, the raspberry pi serving at 7788.
I cannot access the DeepResearch even on the localhost (Raspberry Pi) or a local network machine.

Browser Use web-ui works fine on Raspberry and local machines when just using the browser.

Can you please provide some guidance to troubleshoot? Or an alternative tool suggestion?
I tried the environment variable --listen in .env etc. but nothing seems to have worked..
Thanks
