Feedback Automater

The Ultimate Automation

At my university, filling out end-of-semester feedback forms for dozens of courses and labs is a notoriously tedious, multi-step process. I built the Feedback Automater to solve this pain point entirely.

How It Works

This tool is a masterclass in web scraping, browser automation, and bypassing friction:

1. Playwright Core: Uses Python Playwright to spin up a headless browser, navigate to the portal, and interact with the complex DOM of the feedback forms.
2. OTP Bypassing: The university portal requires an Outlook OTP to login. I integrated IMAP/Outlook scraping logic to automatically intercept the OTP email, parse the code, and inject it into the login field. The user never has to check their inbox.
3. Streamlit UI: Provides a dead-simple, accessible UI where users just put in their credentials, and the script handles the rest.

Impact

What used to take 20 minutes of mind-numbing clicking and typing now takes 15 seconds. It’s a perfect example of identifying a real-world friction point and engineering a robust, end-to-end automation pipeline to destroy it.
