Skyvern

★ 15k

Automate browser workflows with vision-based agents that survive layout changes — RPA without brittle selectors.

Skyvern does the job of Bardeen, Zapier Agents and UiPath, self-hosted. It is AGPL-licensed, so a hosted fork has to publish its changes, and setting it up is an afternoon, not a weekend. Bardeen bills $50 for it. 15k stars on GitHub.
