Codegen hosted in a way. Codegen is local and outputs a Playwright script. We add managed infra, observability, retries, and agent fallback recoveries when things break.

Similar goals but quite different execution and primitives
The core Notte framework is open source (SSPL): https://github.com/nottelabs/notte. Only the managed infra is hosted. You can also use our Demonstrate Mode as a way to bootstrap a script and then run it on your machine if you prefer :)
There are a few yes
Thanks :) We're Playwright / CDP under the hood
Yes. Record an automation flow, export the code, and share it. New users can run it as-is on our infra, or pick modify and run elsewhere.
Different from our core use case, but our agents can do open-ended exploration as well. You could prompt something like "navigate to this app as a new user and try common. flows" with structured outputs for findings. Session recording will show what happened. Not sure if it fully solves your problem - but happy to explore this together if you want to try it.
We're YC S25, launched in summer. Demonstrate Mode is a new feature we recently added to our platform and thought it would be worth sharing here.
Re differentiation: The space is crowded and feature sets converge. But like LLM providers, we feel there's room for multiple players with different positioning long term (enterprise, developers, etc.) Right now, we're now focused on making the product that feels most exciting to build with - hope people can tell that :)
Same spirit, yes. Record once, replay many. The difference now is when the page changes or an element moves, we have those fallback AI agents that can recover instead of just failing. But the core idea is the same; automate browser stuff.
Full circle indeed! We hope this iteration works better :)
Yes, that’s a very good point! We’ll look into this for SDK usage. What do you recommend for the public repo where it's harder to enforce runtime headers?
we’re working on fail-credit refunds so charges only apply to successful runs
Update- https://www.notte.cc/#pricing
We added the pricing breakdown here: https://www.notte.cc/#pricing
Hey- we built Notte for legitimate workflows like testing and approved automation; not abuse. Like other session provider tools (Browserbase, Hyperbrowser, Anchor, etc.), we encourage respecting site terms and robots.txt, and we’re adding built-in support for it soon to enforce this policy inside Notte.
There is!
There's a way to top-up 1K credits for $10 in our Pro plan. But if someone needs more then the 10K/mo + manual topups - I'd suggest moving to a custom deal. We can unlock any credits you need with custom rate limits and volume discounts.
Yeah - the search demo (https://search.notte.cc/) is just an attempt to showcase what one can do with a scraping agent embedded in a served LLM with an MCP server. We have a sys prompt pushing the LLM to request an URL to make sure it's scraping what you want to scrape - but I've played with it a bit and it can also come up with it's own URLs to be scraped.
Just explained below what you can do with the 10K smeckles - that's 10K URL scrapes or 5K agent steps or 10K minutes of browsing :)
Pricing credits - dollars is explained below. +We were thinking about not charging credits whenever one of our agents fails because of a random error on our side (not too frequent, but still). This makes it more reasonable to start exploring and building with us.
Oh - missed that too. We had this somewhere in the docs and got lost.
- 1 scrape URL : 1 credit ~ $1c - 1 agent step : 2 credits ~ $2c - 1 min browse-time: 1 credit ~ $1c
Meaning if you run an agent for a 10-steps task for a minute it'll cost ~ $21c
Not yet - this is a TODO and we'll try to do it asap!
Oh thanks for pointing this out. Pricing is explained on our landing https://notte.cc.
It’s 500 free credits. Pro plan $79/mo for 10K credits/mo. You can do additional top up 1K credits for $10 when in Pro plan.
If you need more it’s a custom enterprise deal - we work a lot with volume discounts.
There’s no magic here unfortunately. We’re working hard to make anti-detection as good as possible with proxies to avoid captchas in first place. When they get there - we can solve ~60% of providers right now (incl reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare, and main ones) and some others are still work in progress.
Yes! We just added stealth support for our scraping endpoint. The docs should be updated soon but you can set proxies now
Thanks - that’s nice to hear! :)
Hey! Sure happy to create a shared integration with TestinBot - shoot me an email so we can discuss andrea@notte.cc :)
right now it's hardcode - you write a web automation script where at some parts you have a very specialized agent to take the very few steps in your workflow that require reasoning/adaptability. Future: we're trying to make this process automatic.
hey - thanks for trying out. not sure what you're trying to extract from hyatt.com but just naively tested the most basic agent (https://github.com/nottelabs/notte?tab=readme-ov-file#run-in...) with simple prompt task="scrape data from hyatt.com landing page" and it worked perfectly:
answer=Successfully navigated to hyatt.com and closed the cookie consent. The page content includes navigation links (Explore, Offers, Meetings & Events, Loyalty Program, Language, Sign In or Join), a search form with inputs for City/Address/Landmark/Airport/Hotel, Check-in and Check-out dates, and options for rooms/guests and special rates. Below the search form, there are sections for 'Earn bonus points at new hotels', 'Limited-Time Offer: Earn 2 Free Nights + 25,000 Bonus Points', 'More Places to Discover' with specific hotel examples (Park Hyatt Auckland, Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill, 7Pines Resort Ibiza, Hyatt Centric Murano Venice), 'Join World of Hyatt' with benefits, and various promotional sections like 'Incredible offers, incredible places', 'Plan a summer of more', 'Outdoor adventure awaits', and 'Wellbeing your way'. The page also lists different Hyatt brands categorized into Luxury, Lifestyle, Inclusive, Classics, and Essentials. At the bottom, there are links for Reservations, Customer Service, Corporate Sites, Explore More, and Connect with Hyatt (social media links), along with legal information (Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, Cookie Center, Security & Safety, Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking, Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information)
By switching to a set of clear, meaningful actions described in natural language, you let the agent operate conceptually on what they were most trained on (language) rather than wrestling with HTML parsing, structuring, etc. What use cases were you thinking of?
