Browser Automation
The browser automation category reveals a fundamental divide: technical teams favor Playwright (52% shortlist, 5 model diversity) for programmatic control, while business users gravitate toward UiPath (59% shortlist) for workflow automation. Bardeen (37%) bridges this gap with AI-powered automation for knowledge workers. The category is expanding beyond traditional web scraping—evidenced by Selenium's relatively modest 24% shortlist rate despite its legacy status—toward AI agent orchestration and autonomous browser control, though low prompt coverage (0%) suggests buyers still rely heavily on brand awareness rather than requirements-driven discovery.
