This is awesome. I was just trying to get a rudimentary version of this for some "user" interaction heavy data extraction. Definitely giving it a try.

For a case with lots of requests how does Autotab handle ip-blocking? Does each run use a different portal instance?

When you run Autotab in the app it runs locally, so no IP blocking issues there. If you want to run it in the cloud eg via API, by default your IP will be from the data center but we have residential proxies that we can enable on a case by case basis.

Just tried it - very cool indeed. I did a page loop extraction but it seems to be the same speed when I run it. The elements I am doing the loop on look pretty much the same, just different images. I think it would be great if it was able to generalize how to find an element like with css selectors for example to speed up once its sure that is the data you are looking to extract for a given loop.

Totally agree, making page loop faster is on the top of our list of things to do! There are cases where you need page loop to do quite a bit of reasoning so it will be this slow until models get faster, but we can make it a lot faster today on happy paths - stay tuned :)

Who is your vendor for residential proxies? That’s quite a sketchy industry.

We use a range of different providers, it really depends on the customer and use case. We only enable the proxy in rare cases that need it for a specific reason.
