Getting Started

To get started, click on the Create Workflow button. You will be prompted with a screen to build a new agent. An agent is an automatic process that navigates to a specified webpage and executes browser actions on your behalf.

To continue, click on the Enter URL search bar and type in your URL. For our examples, we will use the following domain: https://ycombinator.com/companies.

After you finish entering in your URL, press on the right arrow to submit it.

Next, you will be greeted by a loading screen. In the background, Bytebot is generating a snapshot: loading your webpage and saving the DOM structure.

This shouldn’t take longer than 5-10 seconds. After, you will be greeted with the URL’s webpage. Depending on the page, it may be blank or content-rich. Regardless, you will see a footer with five buttons: Click, Write, Extract, Scroll and Wait. Each of these options map to a browser action or a set of browser actions.

With our example webpage, let’s go through each of these options, starting with Wait.
