Y Combinator-backed Intuned launches code-first browser automation platform

Intuned, a Y Combinator S22-backed startup, has launched a browser automation platform designed to generate, deploy, and maintain production-ready code for web scraping and robotic process automation (RPA). The service utilises an AI agent to create deterministic automations primarily in Playwright, supporting both TypeScript and Python. The launch was announced via a Hacker News "Show HN" post, positioning the tool as a solution for building reliable, scalable data extraction workflows.

The platform allows users to build automations for data extraction, web crawling, and RPA tasks using TypeScript or Python. Key features include built-in stealth mode, anti-detection measures, CAPTCHA solving, and authentication handling. The infrastructure supports auto-scaling, scheduled jobs, and API-first deployment with concurrency controls, aiming to reduce the operational overhead typically associated with maintaining large-scale scrapers.

Intuned Agent can create scrapers from natural language prompts and schemas, and uses AI to fix code when target websites change. The platform integrates with various AI browser libraries, including Anthropic Computer Use, OpenAI CUA, Stagehand, Browser-use, and Gemini Computer Use. This flexibility allows developers to mix deterministic Playwright logic with AI-driven steps in a single automation, providing a hybrid approach to browser automation.

The company also offers a solution engineering service where its team builds and maintains hundreds or thousands of scrapers on behalf of clients. Intuned claims to have delivered thousands of production scrapers through this service, handling the ongoing maintenance required as sites change. The service is designed to be cost-effective, with flexible pricing described as usage-based or flat fee per source, though specific costs are not disclosed.

Pricing details are described as "flexible" or "usage-based," but specific costs are not disclosed. The platform supports integration with Crawl4AI and offers first-class support for deploying and scaling crawlers without managing infrastructure. The launch highlights the growing demand for robust, code-first browser automation tools that can navigate complex anti-bot measures while maintaining reliability in production environments.
