👋 Hello Everyone, I am Abid Mohammed (co-founder at Cognida.ai).
We are super excited to finally share Codien, that we have been building for some time.
Why we built Codien
For years, teams relied on Selenium and Protractor to automate tests. We loved Protractor, but with its deprecation, teams now face migrating to Playwright — a modern, powerful testing framework. While Selenium tests remain common, adopting Playwright unlocks great benefits. ⚡
Who is this for?
Codien is designed for test managers, test leads, test engineers, coders, and engineering managers who want to modernize their testing quickly and efficiently — without months-long migration projects or complex rewrites.
What Codien does
Simplifies migration from Protractor or Selenium to Playwright — fast and accurately. 🤖✨
Understands your tests and migrates them gradually, validating each new test in real time so you can trust the results. ✅
Helps you write new Playwright tests faster by generating code from plain English descriptions.
How it works
1️⃣ Create a project
2️⃣ Scan your source code to auto-discover all test cases
3️⃣ Start the conversion and watch Codien convert and validate tests live, one by one 👀
A clean, intuitive dashboard keeps you updated on progress and status. 📊
Security & Pricing
Codien runs fully locally, so your code stays secure 🔒 and your data private. No vendor lock-in or long-term contracts — just install, pay as you go, convert your tests, and get back to building. 💡

@abid_mohammed Big kudos to the Codien team!
Migrating from legacy testing frameworks like Protractor and Selenium has long been a pain point for engineering teams and Codien absolutely nails this challenge. The ability to seamlessly transition to Playwright, validate tests in real-time, and even write new ones from plain English? That’s a game changer.
This tool is going to be a lifesaver for test managers, engineers, and leads looking to modernize without the overhead of complex rewrites or long migration cycles.
Super excited to see where this goes.
Absolutely thrilled to be the hunter for @Codien today!
I've seen firsthand how much of a headache migrating from legacy tools like Protractor and Selenium to Playwright can be, often getting stuck in a never-ending backlog. Codien completely changes that narrative.
The AI agent makes test migration and writing not just fast and reliable, but genuinely enjoyable. The one-click Playwright migration with live validation is brilliant, and its ability to intelligently understand and convert existing tests is a huge time-saver. Plus, converting plain English to working Playwright code? Revolutionary! And the fact that it's fully local means your code stays secure.
Huge congrats to the brilliant team at Cognida.ai for building such a thoughtful, developer-first solution. If you've ever struggled with test migration or writing, you absolutely need to check Codien out. Show them some love and share your feedback!
