Launch Week Day 1 - Automation Copilot: Faster Time-to-Automation
Automation Copilot reduces time-to-automation.
Not by making automation “easier to start,” but by making it faster to:
- build
- modify
- and maintain real, production browser workflows.
What it is
Automation Copilot is an in-product, workflow-aware chat interface.
It can:
- generate new Skyvern workflows from prompts
- edit existing workflows in place
- reason about failures and apply targeted fixes
It operates directly on Skyvern’s workflow graph. Outputs are executable, not suggestions.
The problem it solves
Most automation time is spent after the first version:
- adjusting logic
- handling edge cases
Iteration is the bottleneck.
How Copilot helps
Copilot compresses the iteration loop:
Before
- Add a block
- Tweak its parameters
- Add a few more blocks
- Keep Tweaking
With Copilot
- describe intent or failure
- workflow is updated
- re-run immediately
Examples:
- “Build a workflow to download invoices.”
- “Handle this modal that breaks step 3.”
- "Add a HTTP request to my internal APIs to publish a screenshot"
- “Make login resilient to 2FA.”
Where it shines
Highest leverage for workflows that are:
- multi-step
- authenticated
- stateful
- UI-fragile
Exactly the workflows that are hardest to maintain at scale.
Why it matters
Lower iteration cost → more automation coverage.
Automation Copilot reduces:
- time-to-first workflow
- time-to-fix
- long-term maintenance overhead
