I love the idea - owning the browser definitely seems like the right approach.

I tried it out on a workflow I've been manually piecing together and it gave me a bunch of "Error encountered, contact support" messages when doing things like clicking on a form input field, or even a button.

The more complex "Instruction" block worked correctly instead (literally things like "click the "Sign In" button), but then I ran out of the 5 minutes of free run time when trying to go through the full flow. I expect this kind of thing will be fixed soon, as it grows.

In terms of ultimate utility, what I really want is something which can export scripts that run entirely locally, but falling back to the more dynamic AI enhanced version when an error is encountered. I would want AutoTab to generate the workflow which I could then run on my own hardware in bulk.

Anyway, great work! This is definitely the best implementation I've seen of that glimpsed future of capable AI web browsing agents.

sorry you encountered that issue! what website was the form on? we'll see if we can catch the error!

curious what you mean by generating the workflow that you run on your own hardware? Is this different than running Autotab locally?

		Hah, looks like you guys found my account error via my profile email, nice! Thanks for fixing that bug. I'll try again tomorrow when the fix is pushed. My other request is probably not in line with your business model. I get the sense that Autotab is always communicating with some server on your end, probably for the various bits of AI functionality. What I was asking for is the ability to export the actions/workflow as, say, a python script (like a Selenium script, or even better, a script which drives your browser) which performs the actions in the Autotab workflow. I need AI understanding when creating the workflow, or healing in case of an error, but I don't always need it when just executing a prepared script. In those (non AI needed) cases, I don't really want to use up my runtime minutes just because I'm executing a previously generated workflow.
