Looks nice. Anybody else in this space? This one is on the pricier end but I’m just a single user so maybe not the target customer


If we are being honest, most of these browser screen scraping startups will be commoditized the moment OpenAI/Anthropic releases their next model. From my experience, having an in-house smaller model working in tandem with the bigger LLMs don't always necessarily produce a better result because in-context learning is just too powerful. The moment OpenAI releases a new model with a better prior, you will see a lot of these companies quietly swapping out their in-house "edge"/specialized fine tuned models. It's like those PDF data extraction companies that have been launching like crazy, 90% will be pivoting if they don't get enough B2B customers locked in. LLMs unfortunately is winner-take-all with the actual model providers cutting out all the middleman.


AskUI could be a solution. It's also not just in browser, but the whole desktop: https://github.com/askui/vision-agent


Thanks! Looks promising!

Will give it a try thanks!


Curious, what would you be interested in using Autotab for?


Automating the creation of test orders in our Ecom and ERP tools is one possible use case I can think of, though I’m sure I’d find others in my day to day (possibly around some of the rote tasks I have in Confluence or DevOps)


That sounds like a really good use case! we're constrained by model costs but are interested in offering a lower cost plan – if you email me I'll see what we can do alexi@autotab.com
