Autotab – Boring AI Agents for real world tasks
I don't get why people still use XPaths, CSS selectors or HTML IDs to identify elements, even when they are "recorded". Please please please just use my https://github.com/mherrmann/selenium-python-helium instead. It makes so much more sense.

Automating some process with PyAutoGui?
You can, though it might not be the best tool for this. Automation of web entry is better done with selenium, or my favorite variation helium.

Would you be interested in POM generator for Selenium?
Regarding automatic selectors: check out my open source library https://github.com/mherrmann/selenium-python-helium.

Beginner scraping question for beautiful soup after series of 'clicks' on webpage
If this all fails you'll have to fall back on a web driver like selenium or one of its wrappers like helium.

Simplest code to load webpage in selenium, plaintext dump and send actions to certain elements
Simplest would probably be not using Selenium directly, but a wrapper like helium. Most of its functions you'd need are listed here.

PyAutoGUI with CSS Selector
If you're talking about CSS I reckon you want to click/input things on a website inside your browser. In this case you would use a web driver which can automate a web browser like Chrome or Firefox. Something like Helium, Selenium or pyppeteer.
