What's the Difference Between the Chrome Extension and Robot Studio?
Compared to to the Chrome Extension, Robot Studio includes some enhancements that streamline your experience and expand functionality:
No Browser Permission Needed ⚒️
Begin training your robots immediately without any downloads or extensions, ensuring a smooth start every time.
Live Data Preview 👀
Watch the data you collect appear in real-time, allowing for instant adjustments and accuracy checks.
Full Visibility 🔎
View each action that your robot records, ensuring full transparency and more control over the data collection process.
Refined Data Handling 📝
Modify your dataset on-the-fly by removing irrelevant data columns directly from the action history.
Reliable Performance 💪
What you see while recording now perfectly mirrors what happens after the robot is saved and runs server-side rather than through your own browser, leading to more predictable and consistent results.
Future-Ready Technology 🤖
Our Chrome extension has served our users well. We'll determine its sunset timeline a few months after we launch Robot Studio, which is the next generation for Browse AI:
⚡ Seamless Updates: Our new architecture allows us to integrate enhancements more efficiently, ensuring that you always have access to the latest tools without any disruption.
✨ AI-Driven Insights: Look forward to smart, AI-recommended datasets that anticipate your needs and streamline your data collection process, making your scraping tasks both faster and more thorough.
🧾 Edit Columns: Whether it’s because of a typo or simply a change of heart, you’ll be able to edit column names in your captured data. A small but very welcome improvement!
Recording on Websites That Require Login ℹ️
The new Robot Studio can be used for creating robots that do not need to log in, and for robots that log in using a username and password. For robots that need session cookies to log in, we’ll be releasing a new browser extension in the next couple of months, that works alongside Robot Studio.
