Show HN: Argus, agentic QA for teams whose coding agents move faster than QA

Argus AI agents that test your UI like a real user — no scripts to write, no selectors to maintain. Argus is a visual UI testing agent. Describe a test, point it at an HTTP(S) page, and watch it inspect the page in an isolated Playwright browser context. Runs, timelines, screenshot references, and structured reports are captured automatically. Argus finds the bugs you didn't write tests for. Point it at a page, describe what "working" looks like, and an autonomous agent explores your UI the way a real user would — clicking, typing, scrolling — then hands you a structured report with screenshots and a timeline. No test scripts to maintain, no flaky selectors to babysit. Agentic, not scripted — the agent reasons about the page and adapts, it doesn't replay a fixed script Fits your stack — built on Playwright, works against localhost and private-network apps Zero setup ceremony — start testing in minutes Use the hosted platform The fastest way to run Argus: no install, no API keys to manage, nothing to self-host. Get started at argustest.com . Multi-agent pipeline A run isn't a single model call — it's five agents handing off to each other, and you can watch each one work in the live run view: Validator — checks the target URL and test description are actually testable before a run starts. Comprehender — reads the test description and breaks it into distinct test cases. Explorer — crawls the app first, mapping out pages and the actions available on each. Strategist — turns the m…
