Has anyone tried to replace manual QA with OpenAI Operator or BrowserUse?

The idea is simple: let the AI behave like a user, clicking through the UI, validating expected results, and reporting anomalies. This obviously works for Web-products only.. I've been experimenting with just that replacing parts of some manual QA process using browser-native agents like OpenAI's Operator (or custom implementations via tools like BrowserUse) and it seems to work very well. Apprpximately optimizing 4 hours long "smoke"-test down to , like.. 20 minutes The only caveats are: - checklists - you have to document very clear expectations, which will be easy to follow and compare. AI-generated ones are not really reliable - authorization - no one wants to share credentials with 3rdparty cloud tools. So if you really want to secure that aspect - self-hosted open-source solutions (like BrowserUse) is the way to go Have any of you guys tried something like that? What was your experience?

We placed 3rd on Product Hunt and earned $543

The numbers:

  • 3rd place for the day

  • 1305 visitors to the site

  • 210 sign-ups (16% conversion)

  • 7 purchases

  • $543 total revenue (0.5% visitor-to-customer conversion)
