🐉 Automate Browser-based workflows using LLMs and Computer Vision 🐉

-->

Skyvern automates browser-based workflows using LLMs and computer vision. It provides a Playwright-compatible SDK that adds AI functionality on top of playwright, as well as a no-code workflow builder to help both technical and non-technical users automate manual workflows on any website, replacing brittle or unreliable automation solutions.

Traditional approaches to browser automations required writing custom scripts for websites, often relying on DOM parsing and XPath-based interactions which would break whenever the website layouts changed.

Instead of only relying on code-defined XPath interactions, Skyvern relies on Vision LLMs to learn and interact with the websites.

How it works

Skyvern was inspired by the Task-Driven autonomous agent design popularized by BabyAGI and AutoGPT -- with one major bonus: we give Skyvern the ability to interact with websites using browser automation libraries like Playwright.

Skyvern uses a swarm of agents to comprehend a website, and plan and execute its actions:

This approach has a few advantages:

1. 1.Skyvern can operate on websites it's never seen before, as it's able to map visual elements to actions necessary to complete a workflow, without any customized code
2. 2.Skyvern is resistant to website layout changes, as there are no pre-determined XPaths or other selectors our system is looking for while trying to navigate
3. 3.Skyvern is able to take a single workflow and apply it to a large number of websites, as it's able to reason through the interactions necessary to complete the workflow
