Ah cool -- we weren't familiar with OpenAdapt. Will check it out. One big decision we made was to focus on browser automations (instead of computer automation like Adept or OpenAdapt). The reason…

We tend to charge per request our users send us.. although the exact amount depends a lot on the exact task you want to run. Want to send Skyvern on a 40+ page journey to answer a question? It's …

We know very little about this space, except that the entire process is a little bit crazy. We've talked to a few companies now that would use a product like Skyvern to just automate billing info…

That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of pen-testing as a possible value prop for this product

It's surprisingly dumber than you think! I'm always fascinated by how far you can get with heuristics in certain situations. Check out the code here -- https://github.com/Sky…

I've heard of a lot of success sifting through email spam using custom gmail scripts + GPT-4. Kind of interesting that we can use LLMs to both create and detect spam to some degree of effectivene…

2FA and logged-in experience is sort of a proxy for eID. I suspect that's why so many companies require that you log in with something that knows your identity (log in with google), or ask you fo…

Agreed. We didn't open source this functionality on purpose, and are very very specific about what use-cases we onboard that require it. That being said, we've gotten to learn a lot more abo…

You're right -- we should have written days to weeks. What's interesting here is that large companies like UI Path charge thousands of dollars to build a single robot for companies.. I wonde…

I agree -- this will likely get commoditized, which is why we didn't focus on making this a chrome extension. The API access pattern makes this particularly appealing as you can run multiple inst…

I think this is pretty interesting -- I wonder if websites could allow agents to self-identify, and not count them towards advertising CPM to prevent dilution in the advertising metrics Perhaps a simi…

Nice! We love what you're doing at Kadoa. We're trying our best not to move into the web scraping space -- we're focusing on automating uncreative, boring, tedious tasks. We've see…

Yes absolutely. You can prompt it to "terminate" if some state isn't met (ie XYZ text isn't displayed on the screen), and treat terminated results as failures For example, you coul…

This is a great call-out. It's something currently in our roadmap Re: cost for execution. This really depends on the page, but currently it costs between 5 cents and 20 cents per page to execute …

I suspect that web traffic will encapsulate both. Many websites (government ones in particular) aren't interested in API-based access patterns. This kind of pattern makes it so you can serve both…

This is a really good question we've thought a lot about You're right that this kind of escalation is inevitable a. From a business POV, we don't onboard any types of use-cases that we …

Haha we are not unique there. We chose AGPL-3 as well -- become some would argue it's like an open source virus -- everything it touches must become open source! How exciting.

I'll create an issue to create a Docker file for Skyvern. Would make that much easier
