Can node open app windows and interact with apps cross platforms? Including doing text input.

[jsoneaday]

I would like to create a node based script that opens and closes app windows and also inputs text and clicks buttons. But I need to do this across platforms.
Can node alone do this or do I need something like Cypress or Puppeteer?

Puppeteer is written with Nodejs, but it uses the CDP to interact with Chrome.
You could technically implement the CDP calls directly with Node, but most likely that would not be worth the investment
