Octoparse AI

Octoparse AI is a no-code robotic process automation (RPA) platform published by Octopus Data Inc. It goes beyond traditional web scraping to automate workflows across websites, Excel spreadsheets, and desktop applications, recording a user's clicks and keystrokes to replay them as an automated bot. An AI Copilot lets users describe a workflow in plain language and have it converted into an automation, and the platform includes OCR and CAPTCHA-solving to handle more difficult sites. Users can build automations through a drag-and-drop interface or write custom code, and bots can run unattended around the clock once configured. Typical uses include lead prospecting, e-commerce and social media data collection, business data extraction, and moving data between systems like spreadsheets and databases. Octoparse AI is aimed at business users and analysts who need to automate repetitive digital tasks without hiring a developer. The core product is free to use, and new accounts receive $5 in AI credit; the company states it has more than 1.2 million users worldwide. The application is desktop software available only on Windows. It does not offer a conventional developer API — automations run by directly controlling the target website or application rather than calling an API, which is a limitation for teams that want programmatic access.
