In practice

Written by AI from this repository’s README · medium confidence

Repetitive browser chores such as filling forms or scraping pages have to be redone by hand or scripted with a driver.

Use it when

When you want scheduled or on demand browser automation built visually inside Chrome or Firefox.

Not the right pick when

Wrong pick for server side automation, and the source is variously licensed under AGPL or a commercial license.

Capabilities

  • automates the browser by connecting blocks
  • auto fill forms, take screenshots and scrape website data
  • schedule when the automation will execute
  • marketplace for sharing and downloading workflows
  • Chrome Extension Builder generates a standalone extension from workflows

Cost: Free and open source
