Skyvern - Automate Browser-Based Workflows with AI
Skyvern is an open-source, AI-powered platform designed to automate repetitive, browser-based tasks across any website. It leverages computer vision and natural language understanding to interpret web pages and execute complex workflows with simple commands. The system supports API-driven automation and scalable execution, making it suitable for both no-code and low-code users to automate thousands of tasks in parallel from internal tools.
What it does
- Automates mundane, repeatable website interactions without manual input
- Understands and adapts to different webpages to perform targeted actions
- Executes complex workflows via natural language commands that users can write
- Runs hundreds to thousands of tasks simultaneously through an API
- Works on any website and integrates with existing internal toolchains
- Offers both cloud-based and open-source options for deployment and customization
How to Use Skyvern
- Describe the task in natural language or provide a structured command to define the workflow.
- Point Skyvern at the target website(s) and provide any required inputs (credentials, data, selectors).
- Run the workflow and monitor execution via built-in summaries and diagnostics.
- Review results and re-run as needed; Skyvern supports batch and parallel executions.
Disclaimer: Ensure you have permission to automate interactions on target sites and comply with terms of service.
