Thanks for the hunt @mwseibel ! Hey everyone, I’m Carl, an ex-Google and ex-Apple software engineer obsessed with building developer tools. After realizing how frustrating it is to build a browser scraping and automation app, I decided to build my own LLM-based toolchain to simplify the process. I’m excited to finally launch the result—Bytebot! Bytebot is building the state-of-the-art web scraping toolchain, you can think of it as “Langchain for scraping” or “AI powered BeautifulSoup” written in TypeScript. It handles 80% of the work involved in building a web parser, so developers spend less time tediously parsing HTML and more time building their end application. Bytebot offers the following features: - 🦾 Automatic HTML semantic parsing into content and possible user actions - 💼 Robust scraping scripts that are portable across vastly different websites - ❤️‍🩹 Self-healing scripts that adapt to website layout changes or updates From dynamic form filling, to automated data-extraction, to intelligent web interactions and more, Bytebot automates your time-consuming tasks. We're excited to equip other builders with our tools and see what they create! To get started, sign up here: https://bytebot.ai/get-s....

Congrats on the launch! Really curious to try it out, I've see many so called AI scrapers, and most of them failed at basic tasks. Very curious about the pricing, if I read correctly, the limits are on the number of domains, not the number of pages/records extracted from each website? Also... any plan for a cloud version that helps bypass captchas and various security systems?

Thanks for the support @massimocw, great questions! Yeah, a lot of the end-to-end AI scrapers (which try to accomplish everything from a single prompt) end up struggling. We believe a more granular approach is the right abstraction. Re: pricing, there is a basic cap on the # of requests on the individual plan. We can make that more clear! A cloud version with advanced features is in the works! Happy to chat more, here's a link to schedule some time: https://calendly.com/bytebot/byt...

looks amazing, what are the most common use cases for this?

Thanks @ruben_boonz! Generally we’ve seen users fall into one or more of 3 buckets: - they need to scrape many websites that are semantically similar (e.g. job listings, product pages), and they don’t want develop 100s or even thousands of separate scripts - they need their scripts to be resilient to constant layout changes or A/B tests, where a simple selector change requires manual maintenance - they need to quickly build a web automation, such as accessing a legacy web app that doesn’t have an API

Bytebot seems like a game-changer for web automation, simplifying tasks with AI-powered browser capabilities.

Hi Carl, Congratulations on launching Bytebot! It's fascinating to see AI streamline such a complex process. The self-healing scripts feature sounds particularly impressive. Can't wait to see how it adapts to different web layouts. What was the biggest challenge you faced while integrating AI with browser automation? Cheers for your hard work!
Carl Atupem

Thanks for the support @alex_dulub1! Great question - the biggest challenge is definitely handling the myriad of ways information is represented on the web. There's like 10 different ways to make a table in HTML 😂 The benefit for Bytebot is that it improves with every new domain that it's exposed to!
