autotab

Welcome to autotab! autotab makes it easy to create auditable browser automations using AI. Go from a point & click demonstration in the browser to live code for those actions in seconds.

Note: This project is alpha release and actively being developed. Expect breaking changes and exciting new features regularly!

Quickstart

It usually takes 5-10 minutes to get everything set up (including gathering passwords and installing dependencies). You must have the Chrome browser installed, and we recommend setting up a Python virtual environment:

git clone https://github.com/Planetary-Computers/autotab-starter.git
cd autotab-starter
# Recommended: Setup a Python virtual environment
make install
brew install --cask chromedriver

Configuration

Configure your credentials: Create a .autotab.yaml file following the example in .example.autotab.yaml. (~3 minutes)

Run

Run autotab record to open a new browser window where you can start recording your actions.

Note: When you run autotab record, an automation will first try to log you in to autotab using the autotab_api_key from your .autotab.yaml file. You need to be logged in to autotab to use the extension (and our Open AI API key). You log in to autotab record using your autotab API key which you can get for free at autotab.com/dashboard.

Usage

Recording an automation

To record a new automation, run autotab record. You can optionally add a --agent argument. This will launch a Chrome session controlled by Selenium and then log you in to Google and open the autotab extension in the sidepanel.

If the sidepanel does not open, type Command - Shift - Y to open the sidepanel.

Once the sidepanel is open, you can use record mode to record clicks and typing (Command - E) or select mode (Command I) to select an element to be hovered, copied to clipboard or to inject text into.

At the end of recording make sure to copy all the code. autotab will have created a .py file in the agents/ folder with boilerplate code. Paste the code in there, format it and then your agent is ready to run!

Running an automation

To play an automation you've already created, run autotab play --agent . Leaving out --agent has it default to run agents/agent.py. This just runs the Python script, so you can set debug as you would any other Python script. Often times interactions fail if the Chrome window running the automation isn't focused. We are working on a headless version that runs in the cloud which we hope to release soon to address this.

Setup

Installation

See the quickstart above (Steps 1 and 2).

Running make install installs all the dependencies as well as the local package which enables the autotab record and autotab play commands.

Secrets

Create a .autotab.yaml file in the root folder and populate it with the variables listed in the .example.autotab.yaml file.

The first time an agent logs into Google, it may require 2FA depending on your settings. The script will store the relevant cookies to avoid 2FA in subsequent runs. Please note that these cookies are stored in a google_cookies.json file, which should be handled with care as it contains sensitive information (we store only the logged-out cookies, so even if someone gets those cookies they still need your password to gain access).

If considering a scraper, familiarize yourself with the target website's guidelines and Terms of Service. Avoid any unauthorized or illegal activities. We hold no responsibility for any potential issues or outcomes.

Note: By default autotab logs user data including the application state, DOM and model responses for recorded events while running autotab record. You can disable state and DOM logging by going to Settings.
