    That makes a lot of sense. Sometimes it's easier to leave the baggage behind. It's too bad..selenium is a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing it with the world

    This makes sense. I guess I wanted to understand why starting from scratch was better than "fixing" selenium, but perhaps "fixing" selenium isn't an option?

    This is very cool. We were thinking about doing something very similar with Skyvern What was the reason you went down this path instead of extending selenium with AI features?

    You're right, but this is where the LLMs are especially useful. Our customers all prompt it to terminate if it doesn't have the right information / the pre submission confirmation …

    No, we don't have a lot of usage in that direction. People mainly use us to log into websites and either fill out forms or download files!

    It's funny, one time we had a customer that wanted to use us to test their website for bugs.. Skyvern kept suggesting improvements unrelated to the issue they were testing for

    We do have them! We are HIPAA compliant, have soc-2 type 2 and offer self hosted deployments

    This is really cool. We might integrate this into Skyvern actually - we've been looking for a faster HTML extraction engine Thanks for sharing!

    IF you can use crawlers, definitely do. They aren't enough for anything that's login-protected, or requires interacting with wizards (eg JS, downloading files, etc)
