Illinois, Chicago, 22 July 2025: Cognida.ai announced the launch of its new AI agent, designed to simplify and accelerate the transition from legacy test automation frameworks like Protractor and Selenium to the modern Playwright framework. Developed by the team at Cognida.ai, Codien also streamlines the creation of new Playwright tests using natural language.

Codien is an intelligent Playwright automation tool specifically designed for test managers, test leads, test engineers, coders, and engineering managers who want to modernize their testing quickly and efficiently, without complex challenges of manual migration. It addresses critical pain points in test automation by providing effortless migration from Protractor or Selenium to Playwright fast and accurately.


Users first create a project and scan their source code to automatically discover all existing tests before conversion.

Codien converts and validates each test live within the intuitive dashboard, ensuring correct functionality as you go.

Its AI engine instantly converts Selenium and Protractor testing codebases to Playwright at scale, reducing migration time from days or weeks to minutes. It also offers intelligent test creation, helping users write new Playwright tests faster by generating clean, reliable Playwright automation testing scripts from plain English descriptions.

Furthermore, Codien ensures accuracy by going beyond simple conversion; it understands your source tests, gradually converts them, and validates each new Playwright test in real-time to ensure correct functionality and that you can trust the results.

The user experience is straightforward through an intuitive desktop application, available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Built with a local-first architecture, Codien ensures your test files and code remain on your device, keeping your data private and secure. Only minimal, relevant code snippets are encrypted via HTTPS for processing—no full files are ever uploaded, stored, or retained after conversion.

Codien operates on a flexible pay-as-you-go model with no subscriptions or vendor lock-in. Users can get started for free, utilize initial credits risk-free, and purchase standard credit packs that never expire. Enterprise support is also available for tailored solutions.

On the launch of Codien, Abid Mohammed, Cofounder of Cognida.ai stated: “We built Codien to empower teams to modernize testing quickly and efficiently.”
Feroze Mohammed, CEO & Founder, added, “The vision for Cognida.ai has always been to leverage our AI expertise and create innovative products for developers and QA teams. Codien represents a significant starting step in that direction, bringing intelligent automation directly into the testing workflow.”

The Codien team invites test managers, test leads, test engineers, coders, and engineering managers to check out the product on Product Hunt and experience a more efficient approach to testing modernization. Check it out here.
