But, it is humanly not possible to keep an eye on their websites the whole time.

Fortunately, Browse AI is there to help you. It is a no-code web data scraping tool that can extract the whole data from websites within a few moments. You don't need to be a programmer or have knowledge of coding to use this AI tool.

Let's delve deeper into the features and tutorials of this AI tool in this blog.

Introduction to Browse AI

Browse AI is available both as a web app and a browser extension, responsible for web scraping and monitoring without the need for any coding. You can build various robots on Browse AI for different tasks such as content creation, competitor analysis, lead generation, price tracking, business planning, and market research.

The interface of this tool is quite straightforward, allowing any non-tech person to extract the data from any website in the world. There are numerous tutorials and a demo session on the website, helping everyone to learn about it. 

You can also find different pre-build robot templates, each focusing on a specific task. These pre-build templates save you from a lot of hustle. But, if you want to create your unique robot, you can do it within two minutes.

This AI tool not only allows web scraping but also facilitates the conversion of websites into an API. Moreover, this tool is integrated with various software, allowing the syncing of data into their system. 

To use it, you have to sign up on the website. It is free and provides you with five robot creations for any task. After this free trial, you have to buy the monthly or yearly pricing plan.

How to Get Started with Browse AI?

Once you sign up on the website, you will see three options on the top menu: Robots, Subscription, and API.

In the subscription panel, you can upgrade your plan. In the API section, you can convert any website into an API. But, the real task is to create the robot and use it for different tasks.

To do this, you have to go to the Robots section. There, you will see two options: Extract Structured Data or Monitor Site Changes. Choose any one robot of your choice.

Suppose you click on the Extract Structured Data option. The tool will prompt you to download the Chrome extension of Browse AI. After downloading, you will need to configure some customized settings and proceed. It will ask you whether you want the recording option in Incognito Mode or in the Browser history; choose the option you prefer. 

In the next step, Browse AI will ask you for the link to the website. Give the link and the Browse AI will open it. You will see the robot icon at the top of the website. Click on it, and choose whether you want to capture the list, text, or screenshot. 

If you click on the “list” option, you will need to highlight the list on the website, double-click the text you want to add to your spreadsheet and assign categories to each text.

For example, on an eCommerce store website, the categories for the list can be the product title, pricing, colors, and other information. Click on each type of text in one list and assign categories to them.

Once you are done, Browse AI will generate the list within a few seconds. You can stop the downloading and get back to the Browse AI’s interface to name your robot. Moreover, do the settings in the monitoring section to keep monitoring the website for the future.
