AI Assistant is the conversational way into Octoparse. Describe the data you need in your own words, in any language, and AI Assistant finds the right way to get it: it recommends a ready-made template when one fits, or builds a reusable scraper for you with Browser Use, Cloud Agent, or Auto-detect. Either way, you leave with a task you can run again. To try it, see Quick start.

​
Why use it

  • Setup is a message. You don’t need to learn a workflow builder or set up fields, pagination, and clicks step by step. Describe the data, and AI Assistant sets up the task.
  • You don’t have to pick the tool. AI Assistant checks for a ready-made template first, then recommends the route that fits your request and the site.
  • You get a scraper you can reuse, not a one-time result. The task is saved to your account. Run it again whenever you need fresh data, or put it on a schedule with Cloud Agent. AI is only used to build it: each run follows the same rules, so you get the same fields every time, and runs don’t use AI.
AI Assistant in the Octoparse user center: a chat box that asks what data you want to collect, with the mode selector set to Auto and suggested requests below

​
Where to find it

  • On the Octoparse homepage: type your request into the chat box at the top of octoparse.com. It opens the same conversation in AI Assistant.
  • In your user center: select Tasks & Datasets > AI Assistant in the sidebar, or go straight to octoparse.com/console/task/agentic.

​
Things to try

Copy one of these, change it to your own site and fields, and send it:
  • Collect dental clinics in New York from Google Maps with name, address, rating, and phone.
  • Every Monday, collect the price, stock status, and seller of these Amazon.com products: [product URLs]
  • I’m signed in to our supplier portal. Collect the order list at [URL] with order number, date, status, and total.
For more, with what makes each one work, see Example requests.

​
Ways to get your data

By default, AI Assistant recommends a route for you. To choose one yourself, use the mode selector when you start a new chat. See How AI Assistant works.

Plans and pricing

You can build and run tasks with AI Assistant on any plan, Free included. New accounts get a free allowance for building tasks; after that, building is paid from credits. On Free and Basic, the data you collect counts toward a monthly row limit, and Cloud Agent runs are started by hand. Scheduled runs and unlimited rows start on Standard. See Credits and plans.

​
Good to know

  • Browser Use and Cloud Agent are in Beta.
  • AI Assistant can make mistakes. Check the fields and a sample of the data before you rely on a task.
