AutoPilot

AutoPilot uses heuristics to interact with pages without writing selectors. It figures out what to click, where to type, and how to navigate.

Basic Usage

const session = await strike({ humor: true });
const ap = session.autoPilot();

await ap.signIn({
  email: "user@example.com",
  password: "secret",
});

AutoPilot finds the email/password fields and submit button automatically.

Search

await ap.search("cykani stealth");

Finds the search input, types the query, and submits.

Pagination

await ap.paginate("next");
await ap.paginate("previous");
await ap.paginate(3); // page 3

Form Filling

await ap.fillForm({
  email: "user@example.com",
  password: "secret",
  name: "John Doe",
  phone: "+1234567890",
});

Maps field names to inputs automatically.

Find and Interact

await ap.findAndFill("email", "user@example.com");
await ap.findAndClick("submit");
await ap.findAndSelect("country", "United States");

How It Works

AutoPilot analyzes the page structure:

Page type detection — login, signup, search, form, listing, article
Element discovery — finds inputs, buttons, links by context
Action planning — determines the right sequence of actions
Execution — performs actions with human-like timing

Page Types

Type	Detection
`login`	Email/password fields + submit
`signup`	Registration form fields
`search`	Search input + submit
`form`	Multiple input fields
`listing`	Grid/list of items
`article`	Long-form content
`captcha`	CAPTCHA challenge detected
`generic`	Unknown page type

Limitations

AutoPilot works best with standard page layouts. For complex or custom UIs, use DOM-first methods:

// DOM-first (explicit selectors)
await session.click("#my-button");
await session.fill("#my-input", "value");

// AutoPilot (heuristic)
await ap.findAndClick("submit");
await ap.findAndFill("email", "value");
