Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for Selenium - it was a game changer and had a big impact on my professional life.

I’m interested in checking out Vibium - I’ve been a reluctant adopter of Playwright and hopeful for a new approach.

playwright got a lot of things right. one of the big ones was a fast websockets+json way to drive the browser. (vibium is using the w3c standard equivalent - webdriver bidi). but they also raised the bar on usability and developer experience. i hope to get to the level of "click, click, awesome" out-of-the-box experience that playwright did so well.

If you're already using Playwright, I'd love for you to give Stagehand a try (https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand) - it has compatible-ish API, but built for automation, not testing.

Hmmm so it is basically using https://www.director.ai for the AI natural language stuff right?

[hugs]

stagehand is good stuff!

Out of curiosity, why?

Personally, I'm a massive lover of playwright. Flakiness has been so much lower for us.

I think the future is mobile when it comes AI agents, If you are also looking for a new approach, I would suggest DeepWalker. It is mobile first automation, currently works on android.
