We're full circle to "Programming by Demonstration" (1993) https://acypher.com/wwid/ or Pygmalion (1975), though this iteration probably works better :)
I used IBM CoScripter[1] for many many years to supercharge productivity at work. It records macros and you can rerun it. Perfect for most Corporate applications which require you to fill many pages of garbage to close tickets/etc. I used to close hundreds of tickets/day working as a Linux production support engineer. The troubleshooting was quick, closing the tickets on the bullshit peoplesoft ticketing system with a dozen screens was the most timeconsuming thing. CoScripter helped me quite a bit. I've searched high and low for simple macro recorders like that, but never found any. I wonder if this solves the same problem.
I do this with Chrome recording and Playwright. What I need is an AI agent to meander through my product as if it were the target user and test/break things so I can pass that to my LLM to fix. Does anyone have that?
Why is this not a Launch YC (or at least mention it?) since you seem to be part of the current batch?
The record/replay is definitely and interesting direction. The browser automation space is getting super crowded though (even within YC), so curious to hear how you differentiate from:
Interesting but are there any open source products which can do the same too? This does feel something that I can trust more if it was open source personally but good luck with the product!

- BrowserUse
- Browserbase
- BrowserBook
- Skyvern
Using this, if a first time user logs in, could we share automated scripts, that they can execute to create sample workflows?
Congrats on the launch and nice identity. You might want to check Selenium as a source of inspiration
pardon me but arent there like 5000 startups that do this exact same thing

Browser use has a project "Workflow Use" that has similar aims: https://github.com/browser-use/workflow-use
Playwright codegen.
