Who is it for?
Octoparse AI is for anyone who want to automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, and integrate various applications without extensive coding.
What should I automate with Octoparse AI
Tasks you have to do frequently. Example: Sending a weekly reminder to your team to submit weekly progress reports.
Anything where you have to move data from one app to another. Example: Uploading product data scraped with Octoparse (our web scraping tool) to e-commerce platforms or marketplaces, such as Shopify, Amazon, eBay, WooCommerce, Etsy, or internal inventory management systems.
Tasks that don't require much thinking. Example: Updating contact information across multiple apps when changed in one place.
You can also combine these workflows with AI capabilities to handle more complex tasks—such as extracting structured data from invoices, analyzing customer feedback sentiment, summarizing long documents, or recognizing and tagging images—making your automations smarter, more flexible, and more effective.
What is an Octoparse AI App?
An app is essentially a packaged workflow containing a defined sequence of automated commands. It specifies the exact process your computer should automate and can run automatically based on scheduled times or external triggers. All your workflows are saved as apps in Octoparse AI.
If it's your first time building an automation workflow/app, you may want to try our AI workflow wizard (currently in beta), or explore our App Store to find automation apps created by others. You can run these apps directly, customize them to your needs, or use them as inspirations for your own workflows.
If you become a certified developer, you can also publish Apps in our App Store to earn money.
