It looks pretty cool. One thing that has bothered me a bit with Playwright is audio input. With modern AI applications, speech recognition is often integrated, but with Playwright, using voice as an input does not seem straightforward. Given that Magnitude has an AI focus, adding a feature like that would be great:

  test('can log in and see correct settings')
    .step('log in to the app')
      .say('my username is user@example.com')

Huh that’s an interesting use case. Yeah using an AI driven system definitely opens up some cool possibilities that aren’t possible with playwright alone. Would be curious to hear more about what you’re trying to test this way with audio.

I have this project planning prototype [1], where you can use audio to plan a project, like' Please create a project plan for an example project and make assumptions' or 'During the last two weeks of the year, nobody is available due to the holidays, please adjust the resource availability'.

To test this, you need an openai api key and add it in the settings (it will be stored in your browser's localstorage). After that, you can use the microphone icon in the ribbon menu (press it once to start the recording, press it again to stop the recording, and the processing begins).

You can also test most things via text input in this app, but for example, I have another app for kids that supports audio input only. There, the kid can say 'I want to learn about apple trees' and the system creates apple tree content ;-) However, it also has some content filters to allow only content suited for certain age levels. That is something you might want to include in automated tests.
