WorkflowPilot

Inspiration

I'm not a developer. I spend hours every week doing the same clicks across SaaS tools that have no API — copying data, filling forms, navigating the same 6-step workflows over and over. I wanted a tool that just does it for me when I describe it in plain English.

What it does

WorkflowPilot takes a natural language instruction and executes it in a real browser using Amazon Nova Act. You type "create a GitHub issue titled X" and watch it happen live — step by step, with screenshots streaming in real time.

How we built it

Vibe coding — Claude as my pair programmer, me as the product brain. FastAPI + Nova 2 Lite for task planning, Nova Act for browser execution via Playwright, and Next.js for the frontend with live SSE streaming.

Challenges we ran into

Getting SSE streaming to work reliably through the full stack. Also learning how Nova Act handles browser state — it's genuinely different from regular Playwright scripting.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Shipping a working browser automation agent in 6 days without being a developer. Nova Act navigating real UIs from plain English instructions.

What we learned

That you don't need to be a developer to build real software in 2026. Nova Act is surprisingly capable at navigating complex UIs that would take weeks to script manually.

What's next for WorkflowPilot

Connect it to real enterprise SaaS tools — Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion. Let users save and replay workflows.
