OSS alt to proprietary AI browser-automation SaaS; ~23800 stars; complements Playwright, browser-use (XREF), Skyvern, Notte; MIT permissive. Layers deterministic Playwright with LLM act/extract, so it degrades to code-defined selectors (more reliable than pure-LLM). Generic driver; automating logged-in sites still subject to that site's anti-bot rules.
