Scored by Alex after real useOur verdict
Microbots reads a webpage's structure, builds a prompt from it, and sends your plain-language request to GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 to generate working automation code, defaulting to Puppeteer but switchable to Python Selenium or other frameworks. It's a non-commercial, open-source experiment rather than a polished commercial product. You need your own OpenAI API key to use it, and each query costs real money, from a few cents on GPT-3.5 up to roughly a dollar on GPT-4.
✓What it does well
Plain-language automationYou describe what you want in plain language instead of writing automation code by hand.
Multiple output frameworksGenerated code can target Puppeteer, Python Selenium, or other frameworks.
Built-in code fixingA Fix the Code feature lets you correct output using new commands or error messages.
✕Where it falls short
Requires your own API keyUsing it requires your own OpenAI API key, which means registering an account and a credit card.
Pay-per-query costEvery generated query costs money, from a few cents up to about a dollar on GPT-4.
Non-commercial experimentIt's an unfunded, experimental project, not a maintained commercial product with ongoing support.
