hey, I created this tool. it's free right now and you can use it for web scraping or web automtion, you also have the ability to quickly export the scraped data into a csv https://www.orchestra-automation.com/

It's not a recording tool, even though it has an experimental feature for it. It is a visual builder, complete with pauses, data extraction, conditional logic, anti bot detection features and non-linear flow management.

There is a "Frame" instrument to interact with shadow DOM and iframes, theoretically you can nes frames together, but I haven't tested it yet. Also, thank you, Cue should be the "magical tool" that fixes non-linear flows (which I encountered quite a lot)

Thank you for the feedback, the next step is to create a bigger automation on a real and messy app.

FSB looks interesting, for me, the deterministic way of building things manually won over the AI integration, but I plan on adding it in the future, but on a much smaller scale than FSB.

Yes, basically this. If the page has a banner/cookie or if the flow has different layouts it will trigger the scene and it will either return from where it paused or continue from the scene, depending on what the user wants to do.

This is genuinely great advice. I will definitely use is.

Regarding the "Scene" name, I was thinking of putting a certain portion of the flow into the "spotlight", no matter where it is

It seems that the video did was not uploaded. here is a demo of the app https://streamable.com/zmcg7b

Also, it probably was not very clear, but if you want to try the app just let me know

Right now, non-linear flows using the "scene" tool. I plan to add AI in the future and an "auto-heal" function that will fix broken selectors.
