Skyvern

Uses AI that can 'see' web pages to fill in forms and complete tasks on websites for you.

What it does

Skyvern automates jobs people do in a web browser, such as filling in forms, logging in, downloading files or collecting information from pages. Older automation relies on scripts tied to a page's exact layout, which break when a site changes. Skyvern instead uses AI models that look at the page much as a person would.

This lets it work on websites it has never seen and keep working when layouts change. Non-technical users can build automations in a visual, no-code workflow builder, while programmers can use it as an add-on to Playwright, a browser-automation tool, giving commands in plain language like "click the login button".

You can run it yourself or use the paid Skyvern Cloud service.

Who it's for

Businesses and individuals with repetitive website tasks, and developers building browser automation.

Can I use it without coding?

With some setup. Running it yourself takes a pip install or Docker; after that, workflows can be built in a visual editor. New to this? Start here.
