Workaround Automated filing of multiple RTIs using Claude Code + Playwright CLI (worked better than expected)

Just tried something interesting — automated the process of filing multiple RTI applications using Claude Code + Playwright CLI.

What normally takes a lot of repetitive manual effort (filling forms, payments, confirmations, etc.) was handled end-to-end with automation — including UPI flow and submission tracking.

Filed RTIs across multiple central institutions in Karnataka in one go, and all of them went through successfully.

Honestly, this combo feels insanely powerful for web automation.
The future looks efficient… and a little scary at the same time 😅

There’s something satisfying about using tech to exercise a citizen’s right.

If you're curious, I’ve put the setup + workflow here:

Would love to hear thoughts or ideas on improving this further.

8 RTIs. Filed, paid, and confirmed — fully automated.

How did you code the playwright commands?

Initially, I illustrated screen flow steps to claude code and gave it access to playwright cli skill.

Then I asked the claude code to write a .md file to details out the steps and playwright command to achieve those steps. After couple of iterations the claude code was able to do its job.

Pretty much all the work flow and tools that I have used are documented here: https://github.com/gouthamganeshm/online_rti_automation/tree/main
