Scrapers are one of the main use cases we're seeing for Magic Loops[0].

...and you've hit the nail on the head in terms of our design philosophy: use LLMs to generate useful logic, then run that logic without needing to call an LLM/Agent.

With that said, we don't support browser automation. Skyvern is very neat, it reminds me of VimGPT[1], but with a more robust planning implementation.

Nice! Thanks for sharing this.

We tried approaches like VimGPT before but found the rate of hallucinations to be a bit too high to be used in production. The sweet spot definitely seems to be to combine the magic of Dom parsing AND vision

We're going to definitely work on logic generation and execution, but we're taking it a bit more carefully. Many of the workflows we automate have changing workflow steps (ie I've never seen the exact same Geico flow twice), but this certainly isn't true for all workflows

Really like the simplicity of your website. I think when you first announced it, you mentioned you might open source Magic Loops, might you do that?

Yes! We’re in the middle of cleaning things up, just need to make the Loops a bit more portable/easy to run, but finally happy with the state of the tool.
