Awesome, I've been working on a similar thing at a smaller scale and I think this area is very promising.

I've limited my problem scope to single page interactions / scraping which has been very reliable and useful for my company. But agentic automation does sound fun.



Yeah! We've seen this especially useful if you want to work in highly dynamic situations

Ex: filling out contact forms on hundreds of websites? It's really tough for normal code to be able to handle that cardinality. No problem for an AI agent


Just out of curiosity, what sort of challenges did you run into when scaling this up?

I don't see a need for my current solution to go past a handful of browser instances but I'd imagine it might get crazy.


I made a LinkedIn post about it yesterday, but the funniest has been our customer DoSing our service by accident (sending 10K tasks per hour for 24h straight)

Toughest was Skyvern accidentally talking to a support agent when the website said "your request failed, please contact support"
