Show HN: Skyvern – open-source browser automation tool

• skyvern

  8 5,122 9.6 Python

  Automate browser-based workflows with LLMs and Computer Vision

  

https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/blob/d0935755963b017ed...

We also spit out the cost for each step within the visualizer. Click on any task > Steps > there's a column that's dedicated to how much things cost to run

https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/issues/70

2. We have a roadmap item to "cache" or "memorize" specific tasks, so you pay the cost once, and then just run it over and over again. We're going to get to it soon!!

• LaVague

  4 4,563 9.7 Python

  Large Action Model framework to develop AI Web Agents

  

We're quite different than LaVague. LaVague passes in the entire HTML DOM to the LLM to help it generate XPaths and valid Selenium code. (https://github.com/lavague-ai/LaVague/blob/main/src/lavague/...)

Try this at your own risk.. any reasonable website would result in extraordinarily high input token costs

We spend quite a bit of our time building a layer between the HTML and the LLM call to distill important pieces of information down to actions the LLM can take.. better weighing cost vs output. We're still not at 100% coverage.

• self-operating-computer

  14 7,815 9.8 Python

  A framework to enable multimodal models to operate a computer.

  

This is quite different than https://github.com/OthersideAI/self-operating-computer

Self-operating-computer uses pixel mapping to control your computer. This is a very good approach, but it's extremely unreliable. GPT-4V frequently hallucinates pixel outputs, causing it to miss interactions, or enter fail-loops

>The approach by AI Jason

AI Jason is using image-only methods to interact with the browser. This is a great first step, but this approach tends to be rife with hallucinations or errors. We do dom parsing in addition to image anaylsis to help GPT-4V correlate information in the image to the interactable elements within the DOM. This dramatically boosts its ability to perform the same task over and over again reliably (which proved impossible with the image-only approach)
