This is essentially what we're building at https://reworkd.ai (YC S23). We had thousands of users try using AgentGPT (our previous product) for scraping and we learned that using LLMs for web data extraction fundamentally does not work unless you generate code.

Awesome to hear! Looking forward to a launch -- the Waitlist form was too long to complete, need to take another LLM to fill that :)

Code is also hard. You got to generate code that accounts for all possible exceptions or errors. If you want to automate an UI for example, pushing a button can cause all sorts of feedback, errors, consequences that need to be known to write the code.

Yep, until you generate code—it's harder from a technical POV but you can get way higher performance & reliability.
