We tend to charge per request our users send us.. although the exact amount depends a lot on the exact task you want to run. Want to send Skyvern on a 40+ page journey to answer a question? It's a bit more expensive than just navigatin

We know very little about this space, except that the entire process is a little bit crazy. We've talked to a few companies now that would use a product like Skyvern to just automate billing information gathering to make sure patients

Love this video > self-operating-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

That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of pen-testing as a possible value prop for this product

It's surprisingly dumber than you think! I'm always fascinated by how far you can get with heuristics in certain situations. Check out the code here -- https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern/blob/d093

I've heard of a lot of success sifting through email spam using custom gmail scripts + GPT-4. Kind of interesting that we can use LLMs to both create and detect spam to some degree of effectiveness

2FA and logged-in experience is sort of a proxy for eID. I suspect that's why so many companies require that you log in with something that knows your identity (log in with google), or ask you for your phone number to confirm your acco

Agreed. We didn't open source this functionality on purpose, and are very very specific about what use-cases we onboard that require it. That being said, we've gotten to learn a lot more about browser fingerprinting and captcha so

You're right -- we should have written days to weeks. What's interesting here is that large companies like UI Path charge thousands of dollars to build a single robot for companies.. I wonder if that large up-front expense will st

I agree -- this will likely get commoditized, which is why we didn't focus on making this a chrome extension. The API access pattern makes this particularly appealing as you can run multiple instances in the cloud

I think this is pretty interesting -- I wonder if websites could allow agents to self-identify, and not count them towards advertising CPM to prevent dilution in the advertising metrics Perhaps a similar thing as robots.txt is in order (age

Nice! We love what you're doing at Kadoa. We're trying our best not to move into the web scraping space -- we're focusing on automating uncreative, boring, tedious tasks. We've seen a lot of success going after form-fill

Yes absolutely. You can prompt it to "terminate" if some state isn't met (ie XYZ text isn't displayed on the screen), and treat terminated results as failures For example, you could instruct it to go to hackernews and te

This is a great call-out. It's something currently in our roadmap Re: cost for execution. This really depends on the page, but currently it costs between 5 cents and 20 cents per page to execute (today). We have an improvement planned

I suspect that web traffic will encapsulate both. Many websites (government ones in particular) aren't interested in API-based access patterns. This kind of pattern makes it so you can serve both users and agents with a single interfa

This is a really good question we've thought a lot about You're right that this kind of escalation is inevitable a. From a business POV, we don't onboard any types of use-cases that we think go against the spirit of a good fr

Haha we are not unique there. We chose AGPL-3 as well -- become some would argue it's like an open source virus -- everything it touches must become open source! How exciting.

I'll create an issue to create a Docker file for Skyvern. Would make that much easier

by suchintan 3y ago
Yep! It's just a standard python + postgres combo, so if you create a docker file for it it should run inside a lambda!

We're also working in the space and just open sourced Skyvern https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/Skyvern
