Skyvern

What Skyvern is

Skyvern automates the browser by looking at it. Instead of brittle selectors, it uses computer vision to understand pages and complete workflows, and it describes handling for CAPTCHA and two-factor authentication steps, with an open-source edition alongside hosted use.

What you can do with it

• Automate multi-step web workflows
• Run tasks where selectors would break
• Handle verification steps where permitted
• Give agents a browser to act in
• Self-host the open-source edition

Who it is for

• Developers automating internal web tasks
• Teams running processes on systems they own
• Agent products needing browser actions

What to watch out for

• Automating around CAPTCHA or anti-bot controls is often a breach of the target site's terms, and in some jurisdictions raises legal questions; only use it on systems you own or are authorised to automate
• Two-factor handling means the tool may hold or request second factors, which are sensitive credentials
• Storing session credentials for automation requires serious secret management
• Vision-based automation fails silently on unfamiliar layouts, so verify outcomes rather than assume success
