Autotab

AI computer-use agent that learns and automates browser tasks by demonstration

Visit ycombinator.com ↗

Autotab is an AI digital worker that operates browser software using mouse and keyboard actions rather than custom API integrations. You teach it by demonstrating a workflow once, which creates an editable step-by-step action scaffold that can run locally or in the cloud on demand or on a schedule. It combines demonstration learning with human-in-the-loop steering to execute multi-step repetitive tasks reliably.

What it's for

  • Scrape and extract lead information across web directories and LinkedIn
  • Automate repetitive back-office tasks across web tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Jira
  • Schedule social media posts and blog drafts across CMS platforms and trigger confirmation emails
  • Identify churn-risk users in analytics dashboards and trigger personalized outreach

Features

  • Demonstration learning that records browser interactions directly
  • Step-by-step visual action scaffold detailing targets, text inputs, and data extractions
  • Action memory that asks for user feedback and clarification when uncertain
  • Custom browser engine designed to execute tasks and bypass common bot detection
  • Local or cloud execution on demand or on scheduled triggers
  • Multi-model architecture combining on-device models, vision, and frontier LLMs

Pricing

Freemium. Free open beta app available; custom enterprise onboarding upon request
