When to use it
- Automating repetitive tasks on websites, such as logging in or scraping content.

- Validating dynamic content updates by simulating user interactions.
Key capabilities
- Cross-browser automation (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit).
- Support for headless and headed modes.
- Ability to handle complex page interactions like pop-ups and iframes.
- Integration with CI/CD pipelines for automated testing.
Example prompts
