Execute natural language tasks using AI

<!-- Generated from ai.mdx. DO NOT EDIT. -->
The ai() method allows you to execute complex tasks using natural language descriptions. TestDriver's AI will figure out the steps needed to accomplish the task.
await testdriver.ai(task, options)
<ParamField path="task" type="string" required>
Natural language description of what to do
</ParamField>
<ParamField path="options" type="object">
Execution options
<Expandable title="properties">
<ParamField path="validateAndLoop" type="boolean" default="false">
Whether to validate completion and retry if incomplete
</ParamField>
</Expandable>
</ParamField>
Promise<string | void> - Final AI response if validateAndLoop is true
// Simple task execution
await testdriver.ai('Click the submit button');
// Complex multi-step task
await testdriver.ai('Fill out the contact form and submit it');
// Navigation task
await testdriver.ai('Go to the settings page and enable notifications');
// AI will verify the task completed successfully
const result = await testdriver.ai('Complete the checkout process', {
validateAndLoop: true
});
console.log('Task result:', result);
// The AI will break down complex tasks
await testdriver.ai('Search for "laptop", add the first result to cart, and proceed to checkout');
// UI exploration
await testdriver.ai('Find and click all menu items to explore the application');
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion title="Exploratory Testing">
Use AI to explore unfamiliar applications:
await testdriver.ai('Explore the main navigation menu');
await testdriver.ai('Try to find the user profile settings');
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Complex Workflows">
Let AI handle multi-step processes:
await testdriver.ai('Complete the multi-step registration form');
await testdriver.ai('Configure all the advanced settings to default values');
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Flexible Interactions">
When exact element locations aren't critical:
await testdriver.ai('Close any popup dialogs');
await testdriver.ai('Accept the cookie consent if it appears');
</Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
<Check>
Be specific but flexible: Give enough context without over-constraining the AI
// ✅ Good
await testdriver.ai('Add the first product to the shopping cart');
// ❌ Too vague
await testdriver.ai('do something');
// ❌ Too specific (defeats the purpose)
await testdriver.ai('click at coordinates 500, 300');
</Check>
<Check>
Use for exploration, not precision: For critical assertions, use explicit methods
// Use AI for setup
await testdriver.ai('Navigate to the login page');
// Use explicit methods for critical steps
const usernameField = await testdriver.find('username input');
await usernameField.click();
await testdriver.type('testuser');
await testdriver.assert('login page is displayed');
</Check>
<Warning>
AI tasks may be slower: The AI needs to analyze the screen and plan actions. For performance-critical tests, use explicit methods.

find() - Locate specific elementsassert() - Make assertionsextract() - Extract informationIntegration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.
Analyzes job descriptions and generates tailored resumes that highlight relevant experience, skills, and achievements to maximize interview chances
Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.
Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
