It will work this way: - Go to the page you want the POM for - Open the chrome extension - Click on generate POM - We will generate POM - You can add/remove some sections
Some other benefits might come with it is Email and PDF testing for Selenium.
Curious what you think about this?

I do see a niche for an system (AI or not) that deals with that last case (i.e. it automatically grabs some correlated selectors to fallback to), or as a quick tool to scrape static sites.
However (and this may be out of your proposed scope, and that's fine) I see more value on something that can construct a sort of DOM timeline - in order to accurately know what is available and when. If you start "recording" network and user events since page load, you may be able to reconstruct a) which nodes the user interacted with b) which preconditions there are for these nodes to be consistently available, no matter which stochastic delays/errors are present.
This is tricky and time consuming even when done manually, so I'm not sure it can be AI-mplemented. But that's maybe an idea to explore down the line :)
In my (admittedly limited) experience, the difficulty of working with Selenium doesn't stem so much from finding appropriate selectors but from britleness: network delays/timeouts, objects not yet being yet lodaded into the DOM, dynamically generated classnames (think scraping obfuscation).

Given that I don’t know what this is, and that Selenium’s API is well-known to promote flakey tests (it’s flakey by default and needs layers of abstractions to add waits, delays, etc), I’d stay away.
Would love to learn from your experiences on any better frameworks you might have used, though!

Aren't all E2E test frameworks flaky by default? When you're testing the end user experience that goes through multiple layers of services, I think that should be expected. Would love to learn from your experiences on any better frameworks you might have used, though!
It’s as if you would test your app with curl, very fast and reliable. On the other hand, contrary to Selenium, there is no Javascript engine so you can only test the “raw” DOM or json response sent by the network (and not a DOM managed and rendered by a Javascript front end framework).
