InverseUI
Record your browser actions and generate automation scripts that understand what you're trying to do. Run with your own credentials on your own machine — no cloud, no data leaving your browser. When something breaks, it fixes itself and keeps going. Full access to your local files for real-world workflows.
Getting Started
Record browser interactions and get automation code. This guide walks you through installation, capturing your first interaction, and running automated workflows.
Installation
Install the Chrome Extension
Download and install the InverseUI Chrome extension to start capturing UI interactions:
- Download the extension from GitHub Releases
- Unzip the downloaded file
- Open Chrome and go to
chrome://extensions - Enable Developer mode in the top right corner
- Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder
Once installed, you'll see the InverseUI icon in your browser toolbar.
Sign In
Before recording, sign in to your InverseUI account:
- Visit inverseui.com/login
- Sign in with your account
- The extension will automatically detect your session
First Recording
Let's capture your first UI interaction and generate automation code.
1. Start Recording
Click the InverseUI extension icon in your toolbar and select Start Recording. You'll see a "rec" badge indicating recording is active.
Now perform any actions you want to automate:
- Click buttons and links
- Fill out forms
- Navigate between pages
- Upload files
- Use keyboard shortcuts
2. Stop Recording
When you're done, click the extension icon again and select Stop Recording.
InverseUI automatically:
- Uploads your recording to the cloud
- Generates Playwright automation code
- Opens your recording in the dashboard
3. Review & Export
Your recording is now available at inverseui.com/track/{track_id}:
| What You Get | Description |
|---|---|
| Recorded Actions | Every click, input, and navigation captured |
| Generated Code | Clean Playwright code with typed parameters |
| Intent Detection | Smart comments explaining what each action does |
| Reusable Functions | Parameters auto-detected for flexible automation |
Download the generated code or copy it directly into your project.

Programmatic Control
Control recording from your own scripts using the injected API:

const actions = await api.getActions();
