How does this compare to OpenAdapt?

I have a feeling that this tech will become a commodity and will probably be built-in into the OS or Browser.

Props for open-sourcing though!

Ah cool -- we weren't familiar with OpenAdapt. Will check it out.

One big decision we made was to focus on browser automations (instead of computer automation like Adept or OpenAdapt). The reason for this was that we wanted to leverage the information available inside of a DOM to improve the quality of our agent's actions. We found that relying on image-only analysis with X,Y coordinate interactions wasn't able to offer high enough reliability for production workflows

I agree -- this will likely get commoditized, which is why we didn't focus on making this a chrome extension. The API access pattern makes this particularly appealing as you can run multiple instances in the cloud
