Motif is a system that passively observes browser activity to identify recurring, programmable interaction patterns, then suggests and generates automation programs for user approval. In a multi-day study with 8 participants, it found more automatable patterns than users identified through 'vibe coding,' and most matched their routines.

A passive approach to workflow discovery finds automations users would not think to build themselves. The sample is small, but the ambient-discovery angle is concretely useful for anyone building browser agents.
