{"id":81730,"title":"Intuned - The browser automation platform for developers and product teams","tagline":"Develop, deploy, and monitor reliable web scrapers and browser automations","body":"### **TL;DR**\n\nUse [Intuned](https://intunedhq.com/) to develop, deploy, consume, and monitor reliable web scrapers and browser automations. Reliability is powered by AI.\n\n### **❌ The Problem**\n\nStartups increasingly rely on browser automation for data scraping and RPA (Robotic Process Automation: automate what doesn’t have APIs via UI). However, the process of building, deploying, and maintaining these automations is fraught with challenges:\n\n* Building and deploying browser automations requires specialized infrastructure that can be complex to set up and maintain.\n* Browser-based automations are inherently fragile. Over 100 conversations with founders, product managers, and integration team members revealed a unanimous concern: the reliability and maintenance headache of scrapers and RPA.\n* The lack of monitoring tools for browser automations complicates the prompt detection and resolution of issues that occur during automation operations.\n\n### **✨ Our solution**\n\n[Intuned](https://docs.intunedhq.com/) is the platform for developers and product teams to develop, deploy, consume, and monitor **reliable** web scrapers and browser automations. We use LLMs to make common browser automation tasks easier to build and more reliable. Check out our docs ([https://docs.intunedhq.com](https://docs.intunedhq.com/)) for more info.\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/FegYJWg9vcU?si=02O_Y2w6oqvZO71J\u003e\n\n### **How does it work?**\n\n**Develop**\n\nThe Intuned platform has an IDE built to speed up the process of building browser automations. Intuned IDE comes with custom features like action recording, selector creator, and more! To learn more, check out [**Develop**](https://docs.intunedhq.com/docs/platform/develop/overview).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=81730\u0026key=user_uploads/1063634/fd5e1fb7-0bff-44be-9444-1c33f8f14e84)\n\n**Deploy**\n\nIntuned’s projects can be deployed with a single click and within a minute. To learn more, check out [**Deploy**](https://docs.intunedhq.com/docs/platform/deploy).\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=81730\u0026key=user_uploads/1063634/7f553275-4f64-4325-a19a-87cb7dd6b3d8)\n\n**Consume**\n\nStart consuming your projects by making API calls directly or scheduling jobs for scraping tasks. To learn more, check out [**Consume.**](https://docs.intunedhq.com/docs/platform/consume)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=81730\u0026key=user_uploads/1063634/0ac65a69-0a97-4777-b0b8-47ea18aa1ec0)\n\n**Monitor**\n\nGet proactive alerts on failures - with access to previous runs’ traces, recordings, and results. To learn more, check out [**Monitor.**](https://docs.intunedhq.com/docs/platform/monitor)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=81730\u0026key=user_uploads/1063634/3d319b39-591b-4947-97b7-0f086b324101)\n\n**Reliability**\n\nAs part of the Intuned platform, we provide the `@intuned/sdk` , a library built on top of Playwright, extending its capabilities by offering powerful helpers designed for common browser automation tasks. The `@intuned/sdk` enhances Playwright by making automation tasks more reliable and easier to implement.\n\n### **Our story - why build this?**\n\nFaisal and I started our YC journey working on an analytics platform. However, our background at UiPath drew founders to us with challenges around scaling manual processes. These interactions revealed the inefficiency of classic RPA tools for customer-facing integrations. When the time to pivot arrived, we analyzed YC startups batch-by-batch and observed a rising trend: many founders were venturing into areas requiring non-standardized access.\n\nOver 100 conversations with founders, product managers, and integration team members revealed a unanimous concern: the complexity and reliability of building and maintaining such integrations. Over the past few months, we've handled over a million requests for our early customers who are setting up their large-scale scrapers/automations.\n\n### **Our ask to you**\n\nAre you a dev building a scraper or browser automations?
