Detailed Overview

Browse AI democratizes web data extraction. It’s like teaching a robot to read websites for you—point, click, and automate. Target users range from solo entrepreneurs to enterprise teams needing real-time data without technical overhead.

What Browse AI Does

Browse AI records your interactions with a website and converts them into reusable "robots." These bots scrape data (e.g., product prices, real estate listings) or monitor changes (e.g., stock availability). Key actions:

Extract data to spreadsheets or APIs.
Monitor sites for updates and alert you via email/Slack.
Handle JavaScript-heavy pages and login-required content.

Example: A marketing agency tracks 50 client competitors’ pricing daily, auto-updating a Google Sheet for instant analysis.

Who Browse AI is For

Marketers tracking competitors or leads.
Researchers aggregating data from multiple sources.
E-commerce managers monitoring prices/inventory.
Founders automating market research.
Real estate agents pulling property listings.

Ideal for non-technical users but scales for developers via API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scrape password-protected sites?
Yes. Browse AI lets you record login steps during bot training. Your credentials are encrypted and only used for your tasks.

What happens if a website’s layout changes?
Browse AI’s adaptive robots auto-adjust to minor changes. For major redesigns, retrain the bot once—it takes under 5 minutes.

Is there a limit on data volume?
Free handles 5,000 rows/month. Paid plans scale to millions. Enterprise offers custom high-volume solutions.

How accurate is the extracted data?
Accuracy exceeds 95% for structured sites. For messy data, use the editor to refine selectors.

Can I export to databases like SQL?
Yes, via Zapier/Make integrations or direct API calls. CSV/JSON exports also work.

Do you offer SOC 2 reports?
Yes, for Enterprise plans. Starter/Pro use the same security protocols but lack formal audits.

What’s the difference between robots and monitors?
Robots extract data once. Monitors run robots repeatedly and alert on changes.

Can I scrape social media?
LinkedIn and Twitter work. Avoid violating platform TOS—use for public data only.

Is there a mobile app?
Not yet. The web app works on mobile browsers. iOS/Android apps are roadmap priorities.

How fast is data extraction?
Most tasks finish in 1-2 minutes. Complex sites or large datasets take longer.

Do you provide proxies?
Yes, built-in residential proxies prevent IP blocking. Enterprise offers dedicated IPs.

What support is included?
