Bruno makes API request collections portable and reviewable in source control. Composal provides hosted browser Scenarios and exploratory QA with Findings tied to application runs.

## Composal

Composal sends AI browser agents to use your running web app and check the outcomes you care about. Define journeys as plain-English Scenarios, map existing flows with Discovery, or explore for bugs with Deep Scan. Runs keep recordings and reproduction steps so your team or coding agent can investigate a Finding.
