`Kampala` turns app traffic into repeatable APIs via MITM replay

Browser agents are getting undercut by request-layer automation that replays real app traffic with existing sessions. If this holds up against anti-bot checks, plenty of “ops dashboard” SaaS can be replaced with thinner API wrappers.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Targets web, mobile, and desktop flows by sitting in the middle and capturing request sequences instead of driving UI clicks.
  2. Pitch is deterministic automation in seconds using existing session tokens and anti-bot cookies, avoiding screenshot-based agents.
  3. Differentiation is not just interception but script/API generation: do a workflow once, then export or host the replayed action.
  4. Origin story matters: insurance, PMS, Slack apps, and Yardi billing entry all point to a broad backlog of ugly internal workflows.
