Really exciting to see this approach to automation and intent specification! We’ve been working with similar challenges at Origins AI, where we focus on deep tech solutions.

I can’t overstate how much having a robust system for breaking down tasks and iterating on them has helped us.

For one of our recent projects, we had to integrate complex workflows with third-party systems, and it was clear that reliability came down to how well we could define and refine intent over time.

I’m especially curious about your self-healing automations. That’s an area where we’ve found a lot of value using models that can adapt to subtle UI changes, but it’s always a tradeoff with latency. Would love to hear more about how you balance that in production!

Looking forward to trying Autotab and seeing how it compares with some of the internal tools we’ve built!

I love the idea - owning the browser definitely seems like the right approach.

I tried it out on a workflow I've been manually piecing together and it gave me a bunch of "Error encountered, contact support" messages when doing things like clicking on a form input field, or even a button.

The more complex "Instruction" block worked correctly instead (literally things like "click the "Sign In" button), but then I ran out of the 5 minutes of free run time when trying to go through the full flow. I expect this kind of thing will be fixed soon, as it grows.

In terms of ultimate utility, what I really want is something which can export scripts that run entirely locally, but falling back to the more dynamic AI enhanced version when an error is encountered. I would want AutoTab to generate the workflow which I could then run on my own hardware in bulk.

Anyway, great work! This is definitely the best implementation I've seen of that glimpsed future of capable AI web browsing agents.

Is Autotab able to scrape data from multiple websites with different structures and combine this data into structured data in one CSV or JSON file? Example: scrape interest rates offered on savings accounts from multiple bank websites and extract the name of the bank, bank logo, product name and interest rate for each account and run this saved query on a regular schedule (daily, weekly etc)?

This is awesome! What is your most common use case? Have you thought of competing with https://scribehow.com/ in the documentation space?

If I understand this correctly, it looks like the promise I saw in that 'Record Macro' button in my Excel toolbar in the 1990s might finally be coming to fruition in a wider and more capable sense! A pleasant surprise effect of the new AI situation if true.

I noticed in another comment that you said some steps can be made 'optional' (e.g. clicking through a modal). In my ancient Excel macro adventure, what I learned was that I had to tweak the heck out of the VBA code that Record button generated, which led to me just straight writing VBA for everything and eventually abandoning the Record feature entirely. I had a similar experience later on with AutoHotKey. What are the analogous aspects of Autotab to this? Also, to what extent is hand-manipulating the underlying automation possible and/or necessary to get optimal results?
