🚀 Browser Automation for Chat Interfaces

This PR adds comprehensive documentation, tooling, and examples for using Maxun to automate web-based chat interfaces with authentication, message sending, and retrieval capabilities.

✨ What's New

📚 Complete Documentation

• docs/BROWSER_AUTOMATION_CHAT.md - Comprehensive guide covering:
  • Quick start deployment guide
  • API authentication setup
  • Creating automation robots
  • Workflow structure and parameters
  • Best practices for security, reliability, and performance
  • Troubleshooting common issues

🛠️ Quick Deployment Tool

• deploy_chat_automation.sh - One-command deployment script:
  • Automatic dependency checking
  • Secure secret generation
  • Docker Compose orchestration
  • Service health monitoring
  • Example setup automation

💻 Code Examples

Located in examples/:

• Python - Full-featured client with rate limiting and error handling
• Node.js - Async/await implementation with TypeScript support
• Bash - curl/jq-based automation for shell scripts
• package.json - Ready-to-use Node.js project setup

🎯 Use Cases

This implementation enables:

• Chat Platform Automation - Slack, Discord, Teams, etc.
• Customer Support - Automated responses and ticket management
• Marketing Automation - Bulk messaging with rate limiting
• Testing & QA - Automated chat interface testing
• Monitoring & Alerts - Send notifications via chat platforms

📋 Features

API-Based Workflow

• Procedural browser interaction recordings
• Dynamic parameter injection (${USERNAME}, ${PASSWORD}, ${MESSAGE})
• Capture text and lists from responses
• Screenshot debugging support

Authentication Support

• Login with actual credentials
• Session management
• Cookie persistence
• Proxy configuration

Production-Ready

• Rate limiting implementation
• Error handling with retries
• Comprehensive logging
• Webhook integration
• Scheduled runs support

🚀 Quick Start

# 1. Deploy Maxun
./deploy_chat_automation.sh

# 2. Access UI at http://localhost:5173
# 3. Create account and get API key
# 4. Record your first robot

# 5. Run examples
cd examples
export MAXUN_API_KEY="your-key"
export MAXUN_ROBOT_ID="your-robot-id"

# Python
python chat_automation_python.py

# Node.js  
npm install && node chat_automation_node.js

# Bash
./chat_automation_bash.sh

📝 Example Usage

Python:

from chat_automation_python import MaxunClient, ChatAutomation

client = MaxunClient(API_URL, API_KEY)
chat = ChatAutomation(client, ROBOT_ID)

result = chat.send_message(
    username="[email protected]",
    password="password",
    message="Hello from automation!"
)

API Call:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/robots/{robotId}/runs \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "parameters": {
      "USERNAME": "[email protected]",
      "PASSWORD": "password",
      "MESSAGE": "Hello!"
    }
  }'

🔒 Security Features

• Secure secret generation via OpenSSL
• Environment variable configuration
• API key authentication
• Credential encryption (using ENCRYPTION_KEY)
• HTTPS support for production
• Proxy configuration for anonymity

📊 Performance

• Asynchronous execution
• Rate limiting support
• Parallel robot runs
• Timeout configuration
• Resource monitoring

🧪 Testing

All examples include:

• Error handling with retries
• Status polling
• Screenshot debugging
• Comprehensive logging
• Rate limiting
