ProcessAutomater

Show it any task

The process automater

Do it once in your browser, the way you always do. It captures what you did, so it can do it for you from then on. If a person can do it on a website, you can show it.

An assistant that does the work

Tell it, by voice or text

Works in your own browser, where you are already signed in, or in its own browser on our server while you are away. Bigger jobs it puts together from tasks you have shown it, with judgment where needed. You build nothing.

Your logins stay yours

Entered once, by secure link

When a task needs a login, you type it on a secure one-time link or in your own browser. It goes straight to your encrypted vault and is never shown in chat. Signing in, posting or paying waits for your yes. How your logins are kept safe

Show it once

Do the task, or tell your assistant to. Watch its first try and give it the OK.

Do it forever

By command, on a schedule, or on its own. Green only when it checked out.

The School

Learn to hand off your work

Short lessons and real examples, from paying one bill to running a whole week on its own. The book Show It Once is the textbook, out now. The School comes with your account.

Make my friend

Turn your pet into your assistant

Give it a name and up to 3 photos, or describe a character. We draw it and bring it to life, and it becomes the face of your assistant. One custom friend is free with your account. Make my friend

Your logins stay yours

How your logins are kept safe

You type it yourself. When a task needs a login, your assistant tells you which site and why, then sends you a secure link that works once. Or you type it in your own browser.
It goes straight to your vault. What you type is encrypted and saved to your account. It is never shown in chat, and your assistant never sees what you type there.
Nobody asks for it in chat. Your assistant will never ask for a password in chat or by text. If you send one by mistake, it is thrown away.
Used only when a task needs it. Your assistant fills in a saved login only for the task that signs in to that site, and only inside your own account.
Your yes comes first. Signing in, posting, sending or paying waits until you say yes.
Remove it any time. Open Credentials and press Delete. Your tasks stop using it.

Get the apps

ProcessAutomater is three pieces that work together. Install what you need; most people start with the browser extension.

We are in open beta: Windows and Chrome show a one-time warning for new software; the guide below walks you through it. Sign in once so your installs are tied to your profile.

Browser extension (Windows and Mac)

Learns a task you show it once in your browser, then does it again for you. Windows: one installer sets it up in Chrome. Mac: a zip you load into Chrome in four clicks (guide below).

Version 1.0.13

Desktop app (Windows now, Mac coming)

Lets your tasks click and type outside the browser: file pickers, desktop windows, and the trusted input your bank or Google will not accept from a script. Optional. Install it when a task needs it; the extension tells you.

Version 1.0.8

Phone AI Friend (phone app)

Your assistant with a name, a voice and a phone number. It is the companion to ProcessAutomater: ask it to do a task and it performs it, and it can learn a task you show it, so the steps are saved to your profile and run again later. Works with the extension and the desktop app; it is not a replacement for them.

We are in open beta. Here is what to expect.

ProcessAutomater is a new product from a small company, and you are one of its first users. Before asking the stores to list us, we audited our extension and apps for security. We are preparing ProcessAutomater for the Chrome Web Store. Until it is listed, install it with the download on this page. We are also completing Microsoft's and Apple's signing and listing steps for the Windows installer and the phone app. Until those finish, Windows and Chrome show a one-time warning for software they have not seen before. That warning is about how new we are, not about what the software does. The guides below show each screen and the exact button to click; you do it once, and the apps update themselves after that.

When those finish, these extra steps go away on their own. Once our Windows installer is signed, every install also helps Microsoft's SmartScreen learn it, so the warning fades for everyone who comes after you. Thank you for being an early user and part of getting a startup into the mainstream stores.

Windows installer (SmartScreen)

If your browser says the file "isn't commonly downloaded", choose Keep (Chrome: the download arrow, then Keep; Edge: the three dots, then Keep).
Run the installer. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info.
Click Run anyway.
The installer finishes in under a minute and opens Chrome. You are done.

Why: Windows shows this screen for programs it has not seen before. We are completing Microsoft's signing for our installer; once it is signed, Windows learns it from installs like yours and this screen goes away.

Chrome extension (Developer mode)

After the installer runs, Chrome shows a bar that says the extension was installed outside the Web Store or that developer mode is on. Click Keep or close the bar; do not click Remove.
If Chrome asks you to turn on Developer mode: open chrome://extensions, switch Developer mode on (top right), then reload the page.
The ProcessAutomater icon appears in the toolbar. Pin it.

Why: Chrome shows this for every extension that is not yet listed in the Web Store. We are preparing our Web Store listing; once we are listed, Chrome installs it like any other extension and this step disappears.

Mac extension (zip)

Download the zip and double-click it. A folder named ProcessAutomater appears in Downloads. Keep it there (do not delete it later; Chrome reads from it).
Open chrome://extensions, switch Developer mode on (top right).
Click Load unpacked and choose that folder.
Chrome shows the "developer mode" reminder on each start. Click the X; the extension stays.

Why: Mac Chrome will install from the Web Store once we are listed there. Until then this is the standard way to load an extension, the same one developers use every day.

Questions during install? Message us from the page chat and a person answers. Thank you for being part of the early release.
