Build Web Automations via Demonstration

Hey HN, We’ve been building browser agents for a while. In production, we kept converging on the same pattern: deterministic scripts for the happy path, agents only for edge cases. So we built Demonstrate Mode. The idea is simple: You perform your workflow once in a remote browser. Notte records the interactions and generates deterministic automation code. How it works: - Record clicks, inputs, navigations in a cloud browser - Compile them into deterministic code (no LLM at runtime) - Run and deploy on managed browser infrastructure Closest analog is Playwright codegen but: - Infrastructure is handled (remote browsers, proxies, auth state) - Code runs in a deployable runtime with logs, retries, and optional agent fallback Agents are great for prototyping and dynamic steps, but for production we usually want versioned code and predictable cost/behavior. Happy to dive into implementation details in the comments. Demo: https://www.loom.com/share/f83cb83ecd5e48188dd9741724cde49a -- Andrea & Lucas, Notte Founders
