- cy.prompt() is now available as an experimental feature in Cypress, announced at CypressConf 2025.
- It allows writing tests in natural language, translating descriptions into Cypress commands for fast and reliable test creation.
- Unlike other AI testing tools, cy.prompt() is built directly into Cypress, requiring no external tools or lengthy configuration.
- The feature lowers the barrier to test automation, enabling non-technical team members to contribute to test writing.
- cy.prompt() provides full visibility into test execution, with the ability to inspect and edit generated test steps.
- It introduces self-healing capabilities, making tests more resilient to UI changes and reducing maintenance.
- The tool is designed to enhance collaboration between AI and testers, improving test reliability and adaptability.
- cy.prompt() is free to use during its experimental phase, requiring only a Cypress Cloud account.
- Future developments include Studio AI, with early access sign-ups available.
