What it means
The practice of using code or AI agents to interact with websites automatically—clicking buttons, filling forms, scraping data, or running tests. Members build or use browser automation to integrate with services that lack APIs or to test web apps.
How it's used here
Members have mixed results getting AI agents to reliably perform browser automation, and discuss which models handle it best and how to reduce token usage when automating complex web interactions.
