Show HN: Bytesalt – AI that finds bugs Playwright tests miss

Hey! I built Bytesalt and excited to share it here.Every engineering team I ve been part of has had the same problem. Playwright (or similar) scripts pass, yet critical bugs showed up when real users used our software. I don t think this is because Playwright is inherently bad - it is doing its job perfectly well - testing exactly what we told it to test.The problem is - real world bugs happen because we didn t think to test a particular path - think a support widget covering the checkout button on smaller screen phones, or a race condition when clicking through buttons in a particular order. These kind of things need real humans to test software - but that is too expensive, slow and doesn t scale, especially with the pace of software development today.With Bytesalt - you can describe what you want in plain English (for example- Test the checkout flow on mobile ) and Bytesalt fans out the work across parallel AI agents that simulate real users. Each agent explores the app with a different lens such as - functional QA, UX/Visual, usability, accessibility and security. Finally an agent collects all the results and produces a final bug report.It has a web interface for humans as well as a CLI that can be integrated with CI/CD tools or used by coding agents.You can try it on bytesalt.com (free tier - no credit card). A simple prompt, for example - Test https://www.craigslist.org for usability on an iPhone. Check only above the fold. Report a single issue and stop. Do not explore. Would love to hear any feedback. What would make this useful for your workflow? What s missing?
