A regression test automation agent for Playwright
(16x speed)
- Attempts to execute BDD-like (behavior-driven development) tasks for websites
- Saves functional Playwright code, screenshots, and interactable HTML elements for each step
- Provides Playwright locator hooks to help make LLM interactions be more efficient
- Reenforcement loop for errors that occur during steps to encourage recovery
Within any Playwright project.

Workflow Empowerment - There are a lot of computer-use tools out there but we wanted something to plug directly into our workflow when working with Playwright. Specifically, the ability to use this agent within the Playwright test runner and alongside vanilla Playwright code has improved productivity.
Outputs for Agentic Flows - The output artifacts have a number of useful downstream use cases. Use cases like autogenerating Help Desk articles or generating Marketing videos are being explores. Really excited to hear what the community is coming up with, please share to inspire others!
Flexibility - Having the tool written in Typescript and support for Playwright mechanisms into the flow allows you to customize the experience to adjust the different nuances of all the websites out there. If the HTML parser or page waiting logic isn't working for you, you can adjust in realtime and hopefully submit a PR!
