Bardeen
Browser AI agent that automates web scraping and SaaS workflows
Last reviewed 2026-06-19
Bardeen is a Chrome-extension AI automation agent for web scraping and SaaS workflows. Users build automations (called playbooks) that run directly in the browser to scrape web data, fill forms, do data entry, manage tabs, and interact with web apps, and a natural-language builder turns plain-English descriptions into working playbooks. It ships 100+ pre-built templates for sales prospecting (LinkedIn enrichment, CRM updates), recruiting, and general productivity, plus an AI message generator, GPT-for-spreadsheets, and a LinkedIn scraper. Bardeen runs automations that take real actions across web apps, but the user builds and triggers them, and a proactive assistant suggests automations based on behavior, so it is best classified as a supervised agent with copilot-style suggestion. Pricing is freemium with credit-based paid tiers.
