- Write your own reusable commands for a website you use often
Make money with it
A freelancer could build and sell custom website automations or data-gathering workflows for clients using this tool and an AI agent.

Ways a business could use it
- Automate repetitive tasks in web dashboards that have no API, such as pulling reports or filling in forms
- Collect public information from sites for research or monitoring without paying for a separate scraping service
Can you use it commercially?

Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Acts through your logged-in browser sessions, so an AI agent could take actions on your accounts; use with care
- Automating or scraping sites may breach their terms of service
- Needs an AI agent, which may involve paid API keys, to get the most from it
- Many built-in adapters cover mainly Chinese sites and may break when sites change
