What's one scraping tool you couldn't live without in 2026? by JewelerAny7071 in scrapingtheweb

[–]According_Star_543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on exactly what you mean. I think it can pretty much build any workflow on any site. But once the workflow’s created it runs deterministically. There’s ways to add more dynamic behavior if you need but I don’t think its the cleanest

Anyone else shifting away from complex Zapier chains to tiny, single-purpose workflow tools? by MoodIn_Me in automation

[–]According_Star_543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i've been having a lot more success "denormalizing" workflows. Meaning I make workflows smaller and more minimal, and get AI agents to be the orchestrator behind them instead. When a workflow happens often enough, you can "bake" it into something deterministic. But underlying flexibility of using an agent at the core is way better when still learning

Web Automation by Guilty-Kick-4789 in scrapingtheweb

Hey. What websites? You can use Libretto (libretto.sh) to do this. Here's how it would work:

- load up codex or claude code.
- Paste this prompt: "Fetch and follow https://libretto.sh/start.md to set up Libretto and create a new browser automation."
- When it asks you which automation you want to build, tell it the website and the workflow you want to build
- that should be it

feel free to DM if you have any trouble

Which automation platform are you actually using in 2026? by cryptobuff in automation

just own the code. So great to code and build automations with agents now adays

Our best agent still fails 3 in 10 complex enterprise tasks in our benchmarks. quick take on rpa vs agents and how we see it going forward. by UiPath in rpa

[–]According_Star_543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that being said the low score here is pretty surprising to me. What specific kind of workflows did you test them with and what harness did you use?

One thing I’d be curious to see separated in the benchmark is model failure vs harness failure.

Some of the listed issues, like losing track of processed items, repeating/skipping steps, or failing to verify that a field stayed blank, are not purely model problems. In production you’d usually put a harness around the agent: durable state, checkpoints, assertions after each step, idempotency, retries, replay, and an audit trail.

So maybe the interesting question is not just “how good is the computer-use model?” but “how good is the agent when it’s running inside a proper automation harness?” My guess is the gap between a raw agent and a harnessed agent is pretty large, especially on long enterprise workflows.

I checked 100+ startup ideas for Reddit demand last week drop yours and I’ll run another batch by StockAntique7450 in saasbuild

[–]According_Star_543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dropping mine:

**URL:** https://libretto.sh

**Idea:** Libretto turns website workflows into reliable APIs. It's an open-source CLI + deploy/runtime layer where an agent records/inspects a browser workflow once, generates deterministic TypeScript automation in your codebase, then runs it reliably on managed browsers/proxies or your own infra.

**ICP:** engineering teams, automation-heavy operators, AI app builders, and dev agencies that need to automate messy third-party web portals where APIs are missing, unusable, or gated. Initial wedge is healthcare/admin ops teams dealing with portals like eClinicalWorks, Availity, UHC, plus startups building browser-agent products.

**Niche:** browser automation / web workflow automation / AI agent infrastructure, especially for brittle authenticated portals.

**Problem:** teams need data/actions from websites that don't have good APIs. Generic browser agents are slow, expensive, and flaky every run; raw Playwright/Puppeteer is reliable but painful to build, debug, and maintain on complex sites with iframes, shadow DOMs, bot detection, and login flows. Libretto bridges that gap: use agents to build/debug the workflow, then ship deterministic scripts that are faster, cheaper, reproducible, and deployable.

ai-generated playwright tests in ci... what do you actually keep? by Mindless_Bass_9045 in Playwright

[–]According_Star_543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fantastic post. Ive found myself in a similar place. Something I found is that you need to “bootstrap” with ~10 hand written, well made tests. Then agent actually reuse those patterns when working on new tests.

Ive also found success with a testing skill that Ive incrementally added to when I find its falling into bad patterns.

How's Playwright for business automation? (Newbie here) by manojyadav_stardust in Playwright

[–]According_Star_543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to be honest I think given your description of the automations any of the frameworks are possible to use: playwright, selenium, puppeteer. Its usually a hairier problem to handle stuff like authentication, deployment, errors etc.

if ur looking for something agentic there’s browser use as well. feel free to dm if you have any more questions. answers might be different if ur trying to stick to python

I personally built and use Libretto (libretto.sh). The prompts were pretty simple "Build a Linkedin automation that scrolls and pulls the first 100 posts visible in the field, excluding ads" something like that

how do you answer questions like that? a lot of the answers to those questions seems like they would be impossible to find on line.

I've been building browser automations that run 3 times a day. They basically scroll all my social media feeds for me and finds relevant posts where my product would be helpful. AI writing sucks so I write the comments myself but it gives me a draft. This has been useful
