bus factor 3 concentrated
top-author share 21% 6 mo

bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.

why it's a big deal

  • Turns manual, repetitive browser tasks into scalable agent-driven processes.
  • Integrates vision + LLMs to navigate and adapt to websites without brittle selectors.
  • Enables non-technical teams to define workflows via natural language and an API.

under the hood

  • Licensed under AGPL-3.0.
  • Built with Python and TypeScript, wrapped around Playwright and vision-LLM tooling.
  • Includes API-first architecture, supports proxy networks, 2FA/MFA, and CAPTCHA-handling for real-world web automation.
