Overview

Scout makes it incredibly easy to start exploring your web applications. No complex setup, no configuration files—just a simple URL pattern and you’re ready to go.

​
Scout URL Format

Scout uses a simple URL pattern to explore your applications:

Lovable Apps

Original URL: yourapp.lovable.appScout URL: yourapp.lovable.scoutqa.app

Replit Apps

Original URL: yourapp.replit.appScout URL: yourapp.replit.scoutqa.app
Simply replace your app’s domain with the Scout-enabled version to enable automated exploration.

FAQ

No! The Quick Run URL pattern works immediately without any API keys or configuration. Just transform your URL and go.
Most explorations complete within 5-10 minutes, depending on your application’s complexity and the persona selected.
For advanced customization (personas, timeouts, specific flows), use our GitHub Actions integration or wait for the Scout CLI.
Scout only interacts with publicly accessible pages by default. We don’t store sensitive data and all explorations are ephemeral.
For authenticated apps, you’ll need to use our GitHub Actions integration with auth tokens, or wait for the Scout CLI.
