I liked the look of Asteroid.ai. The company offers browser automation for startups and SMEs that need help navigating legacy portals, filling in forms and easily extracting data.

Quite a lot of big companies already have various robotic-process-automation ("RPA") activities underway. In one of my previous companies, I remember we had the equivalent of 300 full-time employees deployed using RPA. It was fantastic for interfacing with systems that worked 'okay' but just didn't have proper APIs and where the expense of developing or implementing them didn't work financially.

Of course, my company spent a lot of cash doing this. A lot. There are some pretty smart RPA toolsets out there nowadays that many enterprises use – all of them coming with some large price tags.

So Asteroid.ai might be useful both for smaller companies looking for cost effective implementations and some bigger enterprises wanting to rapidly test and deploy integrations to support their internal/external AI services.

Here's how the founding team describes their offering:

Asteroid transforms any browser task into an agentic workflow. Simply show Asteroid what to do—via a screen recording, SOP, or written instructions—and get an agentic workflow. You can then call it through our web UI or API.

Behind the scenes, Asteroid spins up a secure, headless browser, handles authentication, executes workflows, and seamlessly integrates human review when needed—all without burdening your developers. We ensure the agent improves over time.

This is the kind of stuff they're envisioning Asteroid.ai being able to help with:

🔹 Insurance Portal Automation – Retrieve broker quotes across insurer portals—without manual input.
🔹 Supply Chain Scheduling – Log into carrier platforms, retrieve GPS data, and schedule deliveries—seamlessly.
🔹 Expense Management – Pull PDF bills from utility portals for expense tracking—without APIs.

Pricing is rather simple: It's a straight $1,000 a month:

If you're looking for ways to extend your existing Conversational AI capabilities, consider having a chat with the Asteroid.ai team and see how they can help.

I did so - here's my default agent:

Good luck team Asteroid.ai!
