Two workflows, side by side

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.

Choose Robot Framework when reusable keywords, a broad extension ecosystem or non-web automation matter. Choose Composal when you need to check web behavior from a product workspace and hand findings to an agent.

Try this evaluation

Model a multi-step onboarding outcome with Robot keywords and as a Composal Scenario. Ask each workflow to surface an unanticipated invalid-invitation defect; compare maintenance, report context and handoff effort.

Coverage: Which user outcomes must this release prove, and which specialist checks must stay in your existing stack?
Setup: Who prepares accounts, test data, permissions and access to the deployment being tested?
Evidence: Can the engineer reproduce a reported failure from the recording and steps, without asking the tester to investigate again?
Ownership: Who updates the checks when the product changes, and can the team review what a passing result actually proves?
