Solid for our team
We rolled this out across the team last quarter and works across many existing websites without integrations. Browser-based task automation fits neatly into how we already work, and multi-step planning and reasoning removed a step we used to do by hand. Can be slow on complex workflows, which is the main caveat, but it has held up under daily use.
Skeptical, then convinced
I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on support for travel, shopping, and research tasks, and pauses for human approval on sensitive actions caught me off guard. still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.
Years in this space
I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is support for travel, shopping, and research tasks — handled better than most — and handles multi-step web tasks autonomously. May struggle with CAPTCHAs and unusual UIs is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Use it every day
Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Browser-based task automation is exactly what I needed, and backed by OpenAI's reasoning models. I do wish limited availability and higher-tier subscription required, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
