The newer UI testing tools like mobileboost and QA buddy all support using vision language models and natural language to make testing easier. Do you plan to add support for that?

100% - here are some of Maestro's AI-powered commands:

Main difference is that Maestro takes a reliable-by-default approach. We hear plenty of stories of folks exploring tools like the ones you mentioned, then ultimately coming back to Maestro due to reliability / reproducibility issues, which are non-negotiable when it comes to end to end testing
