I've been working on browser agent the last week[1]. So this is very exciting. There are also browser agent implementations like Skyvern[2] (Also YC backed) ,or Tarsier[3] Seems like, finic is providing a way to scale/schedule these agents? If that's the case what's the advantage over something like airflow or windmill ?

If I remember correctly, Skyvern also has an implementation of scaling these browser tasks built in.

ps. Is it not called Robotic Process Automation? First time I'm hearing it as Remote process Automation.

Yup that's right its Robotic Process Automation.

Based on the feedback in this thread we're going to be releasing an updated version that focuses more around tooling for the browser agents themselves as opposed to scaling/scheduling, so stay tuned for that!
