I'm quite curious, what are people doing with AI-powered browser automation at the moment?

This is such a new capability that I'm having a hard time getting a sense of interesting use cases. I'm quite sure this is more than just a shim for web services which don't expose APIs. But I also wonder whether LLMs are good enough to be trusted with more open-ended tasks at this stage.

Pretty wide variety of use cases tbh - everything from classic scraping on the very simple side to integrating with 3P services that don’t offer APIs, agentic QA testing etc

The companies we’ve seen automatic agentic workflows well typically send a bunch of context to the LLM and somewhat constrain the actions that the model can take. Actually works better than you’d expect :)
