Bardeen

Bardeen is an AI automation tool that runs inside your browser. You install it as a Chrome extension. It performs tasks on the web pages you already use. It comes with prebuilt playbooks — ready-made automations you launch in one click. It also has AI agents that build workflows from plain-language descriptions. It processes data locally in your browser, so your data stays with you. Its core uses are web scraping, CRM enrichment, and moving data between Sheets, Slack, HubSpot, and Notion. See bardeen.ai for current details.

Key Features

1. Browser-based automation

Bardeen lives inside Chrome as an extension. It runs automations on live web pages, not in the cloud. You watch every step happen.

2. Prebuilt playbooks

Playbooks are ready-made automations for common tasks. Launch one in a single click on any page, then edit it to fit your needs.

3. AI-built workflows

Describe a task in plain words, and Bardeen's AI agents build the workflow. No code is needed. You review the steps before they run.

4. Web scraping

Bardeen pulls lists, prices, and contact details from web pages. It collects structured data without copy-pasting. Scraped rows can feed directly into your tools.

5. CRM enrichment

Bardeen enriches CRM records with fresh data from the web. Company and contact details update in HubSpot and other CRMs.

6. Local browser processing

Your data is processed inside your browser, not on a server. That keeps sensitive information under your control. It also makes flows fast and responsive.
