Browser Automation

Browser automation is a three-tier category. UiPath captures the most AI eyeballs — it surfaces in 69% of discovery prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Cypress lands in 43% of queries, visible on every engine but half UiPath's share. Stable, Octoparse, and Selenium split the third tier at roughly 30% each, all visible across all four engines. Bardeen is the faller — tagged across three engines with 37% share but losing ground in head-to-head comparisons (evaluation scores dropped six points month-over-month). The category is fragmented, not consolidated: ten brands hold double-digit mention counts, and no single brand owns more than two-thirds of discovery share.
