CopyCat is a no-code platform for building browser automations. Using the CopyCat editor, you can automate any web task by combining AI prompts with reliable step-by-step actions.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We’re the co-founders of CopyCat, Zyad, Graham and Abhi. We started building CopyCat out of frustration with browser automations.
Here’s a bit of background:
🍔 In 2023, we started a company in the restaurant space called Platter. While building the “Shopify for Restaurants”, we had to write tons of browser scripts—to get menus from DoorDash, interact with Point-of-Sale sites, submit apps to the App Stores, and more.
👨💻 It was painful. Lots of coding, constant maintenance, and scripts scattered across laptops. We even had a repo called “Platter-Guts” to store them. Every time a site didn’t have an API, another brittle script was born. There had to be a better way.
💡 That’s when we built CopyCat: the first no-code platform for browser automations using AI prompts and reliable step-by-step actions. It’s dead simple:
✍️ Use the editor to add steps like “Go to this URL” or “Click this button”. Add AI prompts like “Login using these credentials” and let the AI handle it.
🕚 Tweak browser settings like incognito, configure triggers, etc.
☁️ Run your automation in the cloud!
👥 Some of the things our customers are automating in production today:
- Scraping the owners of given LLCs from an outdated government website
- Uploading freight invoices into legacy Transportation Management Systems (TMS)
- Entering patient information into an insurance portal from doctor appointment transcriptions
❌💰 We’ve launched a free tier just for Product Hunt. There's a smooth onboarding to walk you through your first automation :)
We’d love your feedback & are so excited to share CopyCat with y’all 😻
@zyade@k_piotr Hey! Credits depend on browser minutes, proxy usage (if turned on), LLM steps. Credits are charged after each CopyCat is ran. For example, when you run a CopyCat, each browser minute costs 20 credits.
Congrats! I have a question, most browser automations can't really perform like 100 iterations. Can yours do it?
Example: Lets say that I'm looking on X (and perhaps other social media) for people who solved a particular problem I may have at some point. It should be able to find 100 people then sort them by something vague like how nice they are expected to be to me when I reach out to them.
@heypaus Hey Paul! We actually CAN do iterations like the one you’re describing :)
In the product, when you’re adding steps, we also added “structure” steps like “If/Else” and “For Each”. In your case, you would navigate to X using our “Go to URL” block, then you could use our “Get List of Child Elements” block to retrieve the particular elements you want to iterate on. Finally, you’d use the “For Each” block and pass in the list of child elements. Inside the For Each block, you’d add the steps that you want to execute for each iteration!
It’s pretty powerful what you can do with this stuff!

@zyade congrats on the launch. Can you share a bit more about the credits usage, which actions consume how much credits etc.?

@zyade @k_piotr @a8hi_b it works on local browser as well?

@zyade @k_piotr @mohsinproduct nope, only in the copycat cloud browser

Can I do it with CopyCat? :)
