Congrats on the launch! The approach of turning unstructured sites into deterministic MCPs is really interesting, especially the self-healing maintenance jobs.
Curious about the failure mode: what happens when a browser action fails or times out? The agent will often just blindly retry the exact same MCP tool call with the exact same arguments. Since the tool call itself returns a 200 OK, standard retry counters miss it, and you just burn tokens while the browser keeps timing out in the background.
Are you doing any payload/state validation at the runtime layer to hard-stop those cyclic failures before the next call, or does the Guardian model handle that?

How do you handle credentials and sessions for sites behind a login, like the bank and insurance portals you mention? Is the user's password or session cookie stored on your side, or does the generated MCP run against a session the user keeps locally?
Related: page content is untrusted input that now flows straight into an agent's context. Do the deterministic tools return only structured fields you've extracted, or can arbitrary page text (reviews, messages, product descriptions) pass through? That seems like the main prompt-injection surface for anything that can also perform actions like checkout.
- at 'minting' time, uses OpenAI API keys, instead of coding agent subscription
- tries to solve for a particular use case, instead of all the site provides

Curious how this handles session isolation and rate-limiting when converting dynamic DOM heavy pages into MCPs.
If an agent hits a heavy SPA with infinite scroll or aggressive bot protection, does Pomerado handle edge-caching or proxy-level deduplication, or is it parsing raw DOM on every tool call?

How do you get around bot detection? For example, if I pointed this at Amazon, I don't expect it would work.
But does it magically somehow?

I built a self-healing scraper for arbitrary car dealership sites. Layout changes were the easy part to heal; anti-bot was where it got hard. Curious how your repair agent handles that.

I want to slap this on LinkedIn Sales Navigator, but some say it gets your account banned if they detect using using the DOM or accessibility.

What does self healing mean here? And are you guys trying to be a more general version of webMCP? Looks promising, congratulations on the launch!

I see this often, qualifying ex-big consulting firm. What does it imply? Could it be more specific?

Hmm, I've also built a self healing system for agents to get data from various services. Do you have any sort of dashboard showing integration maintenance?

The obvious differences I can see are:
- generates an MCP server instead of a CLI
- at 'minting' time, uses OpenAI API keys, instead of coding agent subscription
- tries to solve for a particular use case, instead of all the site provides
