I can totally see the value of agent driven flows for automating flows that are highly dynamic, poorly specified, error prone, zero shot environments, etc, but that doesn't seem to be at all what you are demonstrating here. Maybe your demos could show something more "challenging" to automate?
As someone who has spent a LOT of my time in my career working on browser automation and testing, speed and cost was always key. Even with existing programmatic tools like selenium, playwright, cypress, etc speed and headfull hosting costs were already big issues. This seems orders of magnitude slower and more expensive. Curious how you pitch this to potential customers.
We've generally seen the "easy" flows not actually be easy. Workflows that have complex branching logic (shown when filling out the Aetna form in the first example in the video), structured scraping (the second example we showed in the video), and login/2FA/intelligent multi-agent scraping (shown in the last example in the video), are all things that are difficult to impossible to do with traditional automation libraries.
got it, I only looked at the website not the youtube video you posted above, my apologies. On the website, neither the billing platform demo nor the screenshots in the section below convey this value prop very well. Both sections show what appear to be trivial flows without explanation of some of the underlying complexities.
I suppose if you are hitting your target demographic dead-on with your marketing efforts, the value prop should be completely obvious to them, but still could be more explicit in your differentiation.
replying to myself here... I would be interested to see a more hybrid approach where an AI could step in to help retry / get past failures, or as a way of re-recording automation steps for a flow when something changes, but having AI in the loop for every action all the time feels wasteful at best.
Great! I see that further down in the website, which I did not see before posting this comment. I think this could be valuable to demonstrate / communicate in the billing platform demo which is the first thing you see, and is what captured all of my attention (i never even scrolled down).
Edit: I just re-ran the demo and it seemed way faster this time??? the first time it said GOAL: PRESS_ENTER... (agent proceeds to think about it for 5-8 seconds) which seemed hilarious to me.
