Skyvern Cloud ([app.skyvern.com](https://app.skyvern.com)) lets you automate any website from your browser. Describe what you want in plain English, watch an AI-powered browser do it live, and get structured results back. No code required.
<Note>
Looking to integrate Skyvern into your own app? See the [API Quickstart](/getting-started/quickstart) instead.

## The dashboard
Sign in and you'll land on the **Discover** page, the starting point for running automations.

The left sidebar is your navigation hub. Here's what each section does:
### Build
Where you create and monitor automations.
| Page | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| **Discover** | Run one-off tasks. Type your instructions and target URL into a single prompt, pick an engine, and hit send. |
| **Workflows** | Build multi-step automations with the visual workflow editor. Add loops, conditionals, and data passing between steps. |
| **Runs** | Execution history for every task and workflow. Filter by status, drill into any run to see actions, recordings, and extracted data. |
| **Browsers** | Active browser sessions. Useful for persistent sessions that keep login state across tasks. |
### Agents
{/* TODO: Replace with screenshot of Agents section */}
<img src="/images/cloud/placeholder-agents-section.png" alt="Agents page showing pre-built automation templates" />
Ready-made automation templates. Each agent is preconfigured with a prompt, target URL, and settings. Pick one to see it work or use it as a starting point for your own task.
### General
| Page | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| **Billing** | Usage, remaining credits, and plan management. |
| **Credentials** | Store website logins securely. Skyvern uses these to authenticate automatically when it encounters a login page. |
| **Settings** | API key, account preferences, and organization management. |
## How it works
Every automation in Skyvern Cloud follows the same pattern:
<Steps>
<Step title="Describe your task">
Type what you want into the prompt bar. Include the target URL and your instructions in one go. Something like "Get the top post from https://news.ycombinator.com" or "Fill out the contact form at https://example.com/contact with my details."
</Step>
<Step title="Watch it happen">
A cloud browser opens and you see it navigate in real time. Pages load, elements highlight, actions fire. An agent log streams the AI's reasoning, showing every Thought and Decision, so you can follow along. If the AI gets stuck, hit **Take Control** to jump in and help.
</Step>
<Step title="Get your results">
Extracted data appears as structured JSON on the run detail page. Every run also includes an output view, full recording, the parameters you submitted, and auto-generated code to reproduce the task via API.
</Step>
</Steps>
That's it. The next guide walks you through this flow with a real example.
