Interesting but are there any open source products which can do the same too? This does feel something that I can trust more if it was open source personally but good luck with the product!

Browser use has a project "Workflow Use" that has similar aims: https://github.com/browser-use/workflow-use

Similar goals but quite different execution and primitives

Playwright codegen.

Codegen hosted in a way. Codegen is local and outputs a Playwright script. We add managed infra, observability, retries, and agent fallback recoveries when things break.

The core Notte framework is open source (SSPL): https://github.com/nottelabs/notte. Only the managed infra is hosted. You can also use our Demonstrate Mode as a way to bootstrap a script and then run it on your machine if you prefer :)
