BrowserPilot is an open-source, vision-powered agentic browser focused on real-world scraping. You describe tasks in natural language (“visit site -> grab prices -> export CSV”), and it navigates like a human, handles anti-bot, and exports clean data. What it does - Natural-language tasks -> actions (navigate, click, type, scroll) - Anti-bot detection, proxy rotation, and CAPTCHA solving - Exports in PDF/CSV/JSON (with timestamps + metadata) - Live session streaming; you can step in and control - Works across arbitrary sites (Amazon, LinkedIn, blogs, etc.) How it works (high level) - Playwright controls the browser. - Gemini Vision analyzes page state and suggests interactions. - FastAPI backend orchestrates tasks - Proxy pool with health checks and rotation on blocks - Universal extractor shapes data for PDF/CSV/JSON outputs Why it’s different: - Open-source alternative to Perplexity Comet, director.ai, and Firecrawl - Vision-first control reduces breakage from layout changes - Built to handle protected sites with anti-bot + proxies - Self-hostable, focused on low-maintenance scraping workflows Would love your feedback!

This is truely awesome! The vision-powered navigation is such a smart idea – solving the biggest headache with web scraping, those pesky layout changes, right? Ngl, being able to describe tasks in plain English and have it *just work* across different sites is kinda genius imo. How customizable is it for dealing with really dynamic sites with lots of JavaScript?
