How it works

Three steps. Zero scripts.

Paste a URL, let the hippo loose, get a full QA and security report. Every step is logged, timed, and exportable.

~(*) the lazy way is the smart way (*)~

01
You set up

Paste your URL & pick a test

Drop your site URL into the dashboard, choose the test type (auth, full, pressure, security), toggle email confirmation, and optionally provide your own test credentials. That is all the hippo needs.

Any URL

Public staging, localhost tunnels, password-protected environments -- the hippo navigates them all.

Test types

Auth-only, full exploration, pressure/load, security scan, or upload your own Playwright/Puppeteer scripts.

Email confirmation

Toggle on and LazyHippo spins up a real inbox, receives the confirmation email, and clicks the link automatically.

The hippo works

AI agent explores like a real user

LazyHippo launches a cloud browser, navigates to your site, and starts behaving like a real person -- finding forms, filling them in, handling CAPTCHAs, clicking through multi-step wizards, and adapting to whatever your UI throws at it.

Site analysis

AI scans the page structure, detects auth patterns, finds signup and login forms automatically.

Autonomous signup

Fills email, password, name fields. Handles OAuth buttons, CAPTCHAs, multi-step wizards, and form validation edge cases.

Email interception

Spins up a disposable inbox via Resend, polls for the confirmation email, extracts the link, and clicks it -- usually under 5 seconds.

Sign-in verification

Navigates to the login page, fills credentials, submits, and confirms the dashboard loads successfully.

Product exploration

An AI navigation agent clicks through your app -- testing features, filling forms, chatting with bots, and finding broken states.

Security scanning

Checks HTTP headers, cookie flags, auth flow weaknesses, info disclosure, and HTTPS transport -- scored 0-100.

You get results

Report, scores, and exportable scripts

Every action is logged with screenshots and timing data. You get a pass/fail breakdown, security score, AI-powered recommendations, and the option to export the entire test as a Playwright, Cypress, or Puppeteer script for your CI/CD pipeline.

Detailed report

Step-by-step breakdown with pass/fail, duration, screenshots, and the exact actions the hippo took.

Security score

0-100 score with severity-rated findings, remediation advice, and OWASP category mapping.

Export to CI/CD

Download the test as a Playwright .spec.ts, Cypress .cy.js, or Puppeteer .js file -- ready for your pipeline.

Under the hood

Nine steps. Fully autonomous.

Here is everything the hippo does from the moment you hit "Run Test" to the moment your report lands.

Connect & Sign Up

steps 1-3

1

Launch cloud browser

A fresh Browserbase session spins up -- isolated, headless, and ready to navigate.

2

Analyze site structure

AI reads the DOM, detects auth patterns, finds signup and login forms, and builds a navigation plan.

3

Fill signup forms

Auto-generated (or your custom) credentials fill every field. Handles multi-step flows, CAPTCHAs, and OAuth buttons.

Verify & Explore

steps 4-6

4

Intercept confirmation email

Spins up a disposable Resend inbox, catches the verification email, extracts the link, and clicks it.

5

Sign in & verify access

Navigates to login, fills credentials, submits, and confirms the authenticated dashboard loads.

6

Explore autonomously

An AI navigation agent clicks through your product -- testing features, filling forms, and finding broken states.

Report & Export

steps 7-9

7

Run security scan

Checks HTTP headers, cookie flags, auth flow weaknesses, info disclosure, and HTTPS transport.

8

Generate report

Every step, screenshot, and timing metric compiled into a graded report with AI-powered recommendations.

9

Export scripts

Download the entire test as a Playwright .spec.ts, Cypress .cy.js, or Puppeteer .js -- or grab the JSON.
