# Autotab

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

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.
