Codegen hosted in a way. Codegen is local and outputs a Playwright script. We add managed infra, observability, retries, and agent fallback recoveries when things break.
The core Notte framework is open source (SSPL): https://github.com/nottelabs/notte. Only the managed infra is hosted. You can also use our Demonstrate Mode as a way to bootstrap a script and then run it on your machine if you prefer :)
Different from our core use case, but our agents can do open-ended exploration as well. You could prompt something like "navigate to this app as a new user and try common. flows" with structured outputs for findings. Session recording will show what happened. Not sure if it fully solves your problem - but happy to explore this together if you want to try it.
We're YC S25, launched in summer. Demonstrate Mode is a new feature we recently added to our platform and thought it would be worth sharing here.
Re differentiation: The space is crowded and feature sets converge. But like LLM providers, we feel there's room for multiple players with different positioning long term (enterprise, developers, etc.) Right now, we're now focused on making the product that feels most exciting to build with - hope people can tell that :)
Same spirit, yes. Record once, replay many. The difference now is when the page changes or an element moves, we have those fallback AI agents that can recover instead of just failing. But the core idea is the same; automate browser stuff.
