{"id":96342,"title":"Altrina Automator: Turn demonstrations into reliable browser automations in 5 minutes","tagline":"Don't be a robot. Automate your repetitive work. Early Access available.","body":"# **The Problem:**\n\nEvery automation tool promises the same thing: demo it once, automate it forever. One-click, reliable, non-technical.\n\nNone of them actually work. They either:\n\n* **Are unreliable** - Break when websites change, fail silently, or work inconsistently\n* **Are too complex** - Require literal “online universities” to learn\n* **Are still technical** - Building, debugging, and maintaining automations still requires technical expertise\n\nWe know because we tried them all. Then failed to build it ourselves. Twice.\n\nSo we did something different: spent 9 months as automation consultants, building workflows by hand for real customers across manufacturing, legal, sales, and operations. Not demos. Not slides. Just us using our own platform to build automations that had to work every day and generate real value.\n\nAfter 9 months, we're confident: **it works**.\n\n# **Our Solution:**\n\nAltrina Automator lets you create automations by simply demonstrating them:\n\n1. **Record** - Turn on our Chrome extension and perform your workflow once\n2. **Review** - Check the recorded steps, add specifications in natural language\n3. **Generate** - Click one button to create your automation\n4. **Test** - Test run it and adjust anything\n5. **Schedule / Scale** - Set up triggers (daily, weekly, or custom) OR run thousands of automations in parallel using our spreadsheet interface\n\nEverything is editable in natural language—no code required.\n\n**See it in action: AI Research Newsletter**\n\nBuilding a personalized email digest of AI papers used to take 2-3 weekends to code, debug, and maintain.\n\nWith Altrina? 5 minutes: https://youtu.be/U_nf1tUyFW4\n\n# **Early Access:**\n\nWe're opening early access this holiday season.
