Instead of AI looking at your code and browser and writing Playwright scripts, AI is directly controlling browser and asserting over tests. Do we have to wait for on-prem multimodal low latency AI for this to be viable?

And nice "smoke test" and making me curious about your product.

What was your motivation to use AI for this instead of simple image analysis?

Writing prompts is much simpler than image analysis plus they make a AI test framework thingy

Image analysis would be better. I just wanted to test it quickly with different models (Gemini, GPT 4o, etc.) using an AI testing framework I am building

AI’s cool

AI is for cool fools

Test should be passing now

It passed right when the smoke started coming out - https://github.com/donobu-inc/donobu-papal-election-tests/bl...
