What is Browse AI's for Google Sheets add-on?
Browse AI for Google Sheets is an add-on that lets you run your robots directly from your google sheet.
You can automate up to 50,000 extraction tasks by using spreadsheet rows as inputs, making it perfect for bulk data extraction without needing API knowledge.
The add-on also offers additional features including:
Key benefits
Run multiple extraction tasks at once using spreadsheet data
Extract data from detail pages associated with list items
Automatically remove duplicate or outdated rows
Keep all your inputs and outputs in one organized spreadsheet
No coding or API knowledge required
Example Use Case
Imagine that you want to scape the newest and shiniest software products from ProductHunt. Using Browse AI, you would create a robot. Your robot takes “Search Keyword” and “Max Products” as input and extracts products related to that specific search keyword.
With the Google Sheets add-on, you can create a Google Sheet with 2 columns for your robot input parameters ("Search Keyword" and "Max Products") and run tasks to scrape all of them at once.
