playwright-cli is very simple and meant for humans - it basically generates a first draft of a script, and was originally meant for writing e2e tests. You need to do a lot of post-processing on it to get it to be a reliable automation.
libretto gives a similar ability for agents for building scripts but:
- agents automatically run, debug, and test the integrations they write
- they have a much better understanding of the semantics of the actions you take (vs. playwright auto-assuming based on where you clicked)
- they can parse network requests and use those to make direct API calls instead
there's fundamentally a mismatch where playwright-cli is for building e2e test scripts for your own app but libretto is for building robust web automations
