Appium project starter here. Congrats on the launch! If you ever want to talk shop, let me know!

I'm glad to see more vision-first, AI-powered testing tools in the world.

Contact info should be visible in my bio here. Otherwise, a DM on Twitter works, too. (@hugs)

Wow thanks! We're only able to build this because of tools like Appium. Thanks for all of your contributions to this space.

This looks awesome, automated UI testing is so hard to get right but also very important. Great work so far!

Thank you! It is hard to get right. And what we've noticed from the user's we've been talking to, no one company has won in this space just yet.

I LOVE this. I pitched something similar (albeit far less intelligent) to my last employer only to get scoffed at, so it makes me really happy to see someone actually make and productize it. Wishing you success!

Scoffed at! Aw that sucks. Well when we blow up I hope you get your rightfully deserved "I told you so" moment. Thanks for the support :)

Demo looks very slick.

How far off being able to integrate into a CICD pipe is this? I'd love if this could trigger off a pr, then block merging since it wasn't sure how to execute some regular user flow (even if that were due to it not understanding how it could perform an action, since this maybe means my flow doesn't make sense).

Thanks! We are releasing an API soon along with some common CI/CD pipeline integrations. We're working hard on speeding tests up so that we don't slow down your pipeline.
