Asteroid AI is an Artificial Intelligence browser automation platform that allows users to quickly build "browser intelligences" to automate repetitive web page operations instead of humans. The tool can be used by both technical developers and non-technical business people. Users can create an intelligence to handle specific tasks by giving commands in natural language through a visual interface. These tasks include, but are not limited to, automating form filling, data entry, or information extraction in older web systems that do not provide API interfaces. The platform is particularly well suited to handle tasks that involve multiple portals and cumbersome, repetitive processes in industries such as insurance, healthcare, and supply chain. For example, insurance brokers can use it to automate getting quotes from multiple provider websites, and healthcare organizations can use it to automate the entry of patient information. Asteroid AI's goal is to provide a solution that is faster and less expensive than traditional RPA (Robotic Process Automation) tools to help organizations improve back-office productivity.

Using Help
Asteroid AI is a platform that allows you to create "digital workforces" called Agents that mimic human actions on a browser to help you automate repetitive and tedious web tasks. Repetitive, tedious web tasks. The process is very intuitive from creation to use, and the following is a detailed description of how to do it.
Step 1: Register and access the main console
First of all, you need to visit the official website of Asteroid AI and register an account. After completing the registration and logging in, you will be taken to the main console of the platform. For first-time users, the platform offers a 14-day free trial.
Step 2: Create your first intelligence
In the main console, you'll see the option to create a new smartbody. Click on it to start building your first automated process. The core tool for creating intelligences is the Agent Builder, a visual flowchart editor.
- Starting the builder: Upon entering the builder, you will see a flowchart-like canvas. Each node represents an action step.
- Use natural language to give instructionsYou don't need to learn a complex programming language. Let's say you want an intelligence to "log in to a website", you just need to use a simple Chinese description in the node, e.g. "open the url
https://example.com
", and then "In the Username field, enter我的用户名
", "Enter in the password field我的密码
", and finally "Click the Login button". - Define process nodes::
- start node: Each process starts from a start node.
- operating node: This is the most commonly used node for performing specific browser operations such as opening a web page, clicking on an element, typing text, extracting data, and so on. You can describe it to make the AI understand the operation, and the platform also utilizes Selector to pinpoint the elements on the web page to ensure the accuracy of the operation.
- condition node: You can set up judgment conditions that allow the smart body to perform different subsequent steps depending on the situation. For example, "If the word 'Login Successful' appears on the page, continue to the next step; otherwise, end the process and mark it as failed".
- end node: The end of the process can be labeled as "Success" or "Failure" for easy follow-up.
Step 3: Configure and debug the smart body
At any time during the build process, you can debug to ensure that each step is performing as expected.
- Variables and structured output: If your task is to extract information from a web page (e.g. order number, customer name), you can set "variables" to store this information. At the end of the process, you can output these variables in a structured format (e.g. JSON) for subsequent use or import to other systems (e.g. Google Sheets).
- Processing Login Credentials: For websites that require logins, you don't need to explicitly write passwords in your commands.Asteroid AI provides a built-in encrypted credentials manager. You can securely store account passwords in advance and call them directly when building the intelligence, which is both safe and convenient.
- Real-time monitoring (Live Control): You can turn on the "Live Monitor" mode when running the smart body. A browser window will pop up on the screen, broadcasting every step of the intelligent body's operation in real time. If the intelligent body gets stuck at a certain point, or needs manual judgment, you can pause it at any time, manually operate a few steps, and then let it continue to execute automatically. This "human-computer collaboration" model is very useful when dealing with complex and changing business.
Step 4: Deploy and run the intelligences
Once your intelligences are debugged correctly, they can be officially deployed for use.
- Running through the web interface: The easiest way is to manually click the "Run" button directly from the Asteroid AI web console. You can start, stop or view the run log at any time.
- Called via API: If you want to integrate this automation capability into your own application, Asteroid AI provides an API interface for each intelligent body. Your program can simply call this interface to trigger the intelligences to run in the background and receive the returned structured data. This is critical for scenarios that require large-scale automated processing or linkage with other systems.
A concrete example of the process: automatically grab quotes from multiple supplier websites and populate the form.
- Creating IntelligentsiaNamed "Insurance Quotation Robot".
- Setting Inputs: Define an input variable such as
客户信息
(Include name, age, etc.) - Build process::
- Node 1: Open the website of Supplier A.
- Node 2: Login using Credential Manager.
- Node 3: Navigate to the quote page and use the
客户信息
Variables fill out the form. - Node 4: Click on the "Get a Quote" button.
- Node 5: Extracts the "Quote Amount" from the results page and deposits it into a file named
报价A
The variables of the - Repeat the above steps: Create similar processes for Supplier B, Supplier C, and store the results in separate
报价B
cap (a poem)报价C
The - final node: Will
报价A
,报价B
,报价C
Output.
- deployments: Deploy this intelligence through the API. Your internal system, when it needs a quote, simply passes in the
客户信息
Call this API to automatically get a summarized result with quotes from all suppliers.
With these steps, even business people without a technical background can easily create powerful automation tools that free their teams from repetitive labor.
application scenario
- insurance industry
Brokers need to get quotes for their clients from the online portals of multiple insurance companies. This task is very time consuming and repetitive. Using Asteroid AI it is possible to create an intelligent body that automatically logs into each portal, enters the customer information, obtains a quote, and then summarizes all the information into a single form, reducing what would otherwise be a tens of minutes of work into a few minutes. - healthcare
Healthcare organizations deal with a lot of patient information entry on a daily basis, including manually entering paper forms or online appointment information into electronic health record (EHR) systems. These systems are often old and do not have API interfaces. With Asteroid AI, an intelligent body can be created to mimic manual clicks and inputs, automating data entry and ensuring data accuracy while adhering to security compliance requirements such as HIPAA, allowing healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care. - Supply Chain & Logistics
Logistics coordinators need to log in to different carrier platforms to query cargo transportation status, GPS data, and arrange distribution. Intelligent Body can automatically complete the login, data query and information extraction from these platforms and synchronize the real-time data to the internal management system or Google Sheets to improve the efficiency and accuracy of logistics tracking. - Connecting voice intelligences with backend systems
When a company uses AI voice customer service, customer requests (e.g., modifying orders, inquiring about information) usually require customer service personnel to operate manually in the back-end system.Asteroid AI can be used as a bridge to pass text commands generated by the voice intelligences to the browser intelligences, which automatically log in to the back-end system to complete the corresponding operations, realizing fully automated service from end to end without manual handover.
