Building an Autonomous AI Browser Agent with Node.js and Playwright

Maintaining static Playwright scripts breaks the second a site changes a single CSS class. We got tired of updating selectors, so we built Otobot—an autonomous browser agent running on Node.js and Playwright.

How It Works

  • Dynamic Decision Loops: Evaluates DOM trees on the fly using LLM reasoning.
  • Self-Healing Automation: Navigates complex layouts without hardcoded selectors.
  • Serverless Backend: Runs browser tasks continuously in the cloud.

How are you currently handling broken selectors in your automation pipelines? Let's discuss in the comments!
