How do you get started with each tool?

Browse AI

1. Create a free Browse AI account (no card needed). From your dashboard, click Build New Robot.
2. Enter the Origin URL: the page that already shows the data you want (for a competitor's prices, the pricing page itself, not the homepage). Click Start Training Robot, then choose Table Studio under AI Training.
3. Let the AI read the page. It proposes columns and lists and fills sample rows; Browse AI says this can take 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Review the table: delete columns you don't need, or click Add column, describe the field in plain language and click Preview. If there is a list, set how many items to extract. Nothing is saved until you click Save Robot, which runs the first extraction.
5. Export the results, turn on a monitor so the robot checks the page on a schedule and alerts you to changes, or send the data to Google Sheets, Airtable, Zapier or Make. If the page needs clicks, typing or a password login first, build the robot in Robot Studio instead.

Apify

1. Sign up for a free Apify account (no credit card) and sign in to Apify Console.
2. Open Apify Store, search or browse by category and choose an Actor. Apify's own tutorial uses Website Content Crawler. Check the pricing section on the Actor's page first: it says whether you pay per event or per usage.
3. On the Actor's Input tab, set what it should collect (start URLs, search terms, limits). Website Content Crawler runs without extra input. Click Start.
4. While it runs, open the Log and Storage tabs to watch progress, and use the API button to see the endpoints for this Actor.
5. When it finishes, open the Output tab and click Export to download the results in the format you need. To repeat it, save the input as a task and schedule it, or start the Actor from your own code with the Run Actor API endpoint or Apify's JavaScript and Python clients.

Make

1. Create a free Make account.
2. Start a scenario with your blog’s RSS feed or CMS as the trigger.
3. Add a module for each social account, and map the title and link.
4. Run the scenario once and check each post.
5. Schedule it. The free plan’s minimum interval is 15 minutes; paid plans go down to 1 minute.
