    Appreciate it! Yea it's much cheaper and works better with how models are already trained on playwright to interact with browser

    Show HN: Libretto PR agents – Automatically fix failing playwright scripts

    Libretto PR agents is a free TypeScript library for maintaining Playwright browser automations. Add one line of code to your existing Playwright scripts and it lets an agent automa…

    Our philosophy with building automation scripts is to use AI in a limited/intentional way. From our experience writing RPA scripts, there are rarely website changes on super old po…

    Thanks! I think the right solution is 100% a mixture. Currently thinking it should be mostly deterministic with some intentional/limited usage of runtime AI. And then AI debugging …

    For our scripts running in prod we handle this in 2 ways: - We use runtime agents in very specific places. For example on Availity they frequently have popups right after you login…

    Answered similar question above responding to someone's MCP sampling comment. Spinning up a separate agent in the CLI was our initial approach but we switched to snapshot via API b…

    Comment #47798139

    Not totally sure I understand, but if you're talking about the snapshot command which requires an API key we initially had it spinning up a tmux session to analyze the snapshot ins…

    This is a great flag and something we want to spend more time experimenting with as we continue to build out the repo. Right now we kind of have a mixture of the 2 approaches, but …

    Agreed! One thing that we felt was missing from the existing MCP tools was user recording. For old and shitty healthcare websites it's easier to just show the workflow than explain…

    There are a couple ways to handle JS components rendered at runtime: - Libretto prefers network requests over DOM interaction when possible, so this will circumvent a lot of comple…

    Haha that's wild, let me know if you run into any issues with it!

    Comment #47784582

    Super cool! Please let me know how it goes. Since agents are so good at writing code, we think letting the agent rewrite/test the code on failure is better than just using a prompt…

    Comment #47784539

    Right now libretto only captures HTTP requests, which the coding agent can use to determine how to perform the automation. For more complex cases where libretto can't validate that…

    Lol sorry for the misleading click. We named it libretto after the term in theater, inspired by Playwright. No retro gaming here, just browser automation!

    It's a good callout. We have a BAA + ZDR with Anthropic and OpenAI, and if you want to use libretto for healthcare use cases having a BAA is essential. Was using Codex in the demo,…

    At its core, libretto generates, validates, and helps with debugging RPA scripts. As far as I understand tools like playwright CLI are more focused on letting your agent use playwr…
