AI Analysis

●●●BangerBig BrainZero to OneWizardry

Browse once, get requests-based scripts—no Playwright or Selenium dependencies needed.

Strengths

•Vision LLM analyzes recorded browsing clips to produce structured action annotations
•Outputs pure HTTP requests scripts instead of browser automation, lighter and more reliable
•Interactive agent lets you pause and guide the reverse-engineering process mid-session

Weaknesses

•Alpha stage with breaking changes expected, not production-ready yet
•60-90% site coverage claim leaves complex JavaScript-heavy sites unhandled

Post Description

AutomatiQ is an Open-Source Reverse-Engineering AI Agent, that can write requests-based(no browser) automation/scraper scripts on its own, all we have to do is, to normally browse the website once.

This makes it a lot easier to create/fix scripts, all we have to is browse the site. This is not a completely autonomous agent, you can pause, talk, guide the agent on its RE path, just like a normal agent.

I am aware of the limitations of this approach, but from my own research(please refer the blog for details) up to 60%-90% of websites can be automated/scraped with just requests.

I was able to run this against some popular websites like, bookmyshow, makemytrip. And to test it in the open, it one-shotted scraper solutions for 2 problems posted on r/webscraping.

It supports local models, cloud hosted models, and proprietary models.
