Shoot - good call. For anyone reading this: Playwright is a very popular browser automation library. Developers use it to automate websites, spanning use-cases like QA Testing, Web scraping, Form fill…

We did the same thing. It took me a few iterations to get the library right, but overall I used approx 10 billion tokens here across a codex and Claude max plan The first iteration was a rewrite using…

That makes a lot of sense. Sometimes it's easier to leave the baggage behind. It's too bad..selenium is a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing it with the world
comment
This makes sense. I guess I wanted to understand why starting from scratch was better than "fixing" selenium, but perhaps "fixing" selenium isn't an option?
comment
This is very cool. We were thinking about doing something very similar with Skyvern What was the reason you went down this path instead of extending selenium with AI features?

You're right, but this is where the LLMs are especially useful. Our customers all prompt it to terminate if it doesn't have the right information / the pre submission confirmation doesn…

What are some of the risks? This is a public web form available on the IRS website

No, we don't have a lot of usage in that direction. People mainly use us to log into websites and either fill out forms or download files!

That's the dream

It's funny, one time we had a customer that wanted to use us to test their website for bugs.. Skyvern kept suggesting improvements unrelated to the issue they were testing for
comment
We do have them! We are HIPAA compliant, have soc-2 type 2 and offer self hosted deployments
comment
This is really cool. We might integrate this into Skyvern actually - we've been looking for a faster HTML extraction engine Thanks for sharing!
comment
I have a 2yo and it's been surreal watching her learn the world. It deeply resembles how LLMs learn and think. Crazy
comment
Yeah, reverse engineering APIs is another fantastic approach. They aren't enough if you are dealing with wizards (eg typeform), but they can work really well
comment
IF you can use crawlers, definitely do. They aren't enough for anything that's login-protected, or requires interacting with wizards (eg JS, downloading files, etc)
comment
I think they're complementary, and that's the direction we're headed. We can ask the vision based models to output why they are doing what they are doing, and fallback to code-based a…

We can do it remotely with Skyvern if you're interested

Have you given Skyvern a try? Integrating it with n8n might do the trick
