Could you build this?
Partial Basic browser automation with Playwright is simple, but reaching ~90% deterministic task completion on benchmark datasets like Mind2Web requires sophisticated visual/DOM grounding algorithms and robust action recovery pipelines.
What it would actually take: Requires an architecture integrating DOM tree distillation, visual bounding-box coordinate mapping via vision models, and deterministic state-machine fallbacks across dynamic SPAs. Developers need specialized experience in reinforcement learning from web interactions, accessibility-tree parsing, and benchmark evaluation harness development.
