Notte Reviews

Great app. I’ve had these simple tasks I’ve wanted to automate for a long time, but they were never quite important enough to justify spending much time on them or paying for a separate server or proxy. Thanks to this app, the data I need is now being collected automatically.

To be honest, it took some tinkering to figure out how the service works. But I'm glad I didn't give up when I hit some initial roadblocks.

The workflow is simple: you provide a prompt for a task, the agent tries to execute it (successfully or not), and you’re left with the resulting code that you can then send back to an AI and ask it to refine or polish.

I’m very happy with this purchase.

Concept seems cool, and I thought I would buy it and test it as a replacement for Browser Act, another similar tool that was available here. Unfortunately, the same issues I had with Browser Act appear to affect Notte as well:

1. On Google Search, it cannot get past the "Google confirm you're human" button, so it essentially cannot be used for Google search scraping or searching.
2. It works with other browsers like Bing and DuckDuckGo from my tests.
3. I have tried five different use cases with clear markdown prompts and simple scraping tasks with fewer than 12 steps, but it failed every time.
4. I also tried the record feature, which failed for the same use cases.
5. You can create agent personas, but they are generated automatically. It does not seem like you can attach an email or add persona instructions since there is no edit button after generating them.

I will test more. Not sure if this is a new product in beta or ready for the public? but so far it has not solved the use cases I had...

I've spent thousands of dollars and hundreds (maybe thousands) of hours on web scraping and automations. Even on AppSumo I spent at least a thousand on RTILA alone but the truth is I always end up going back to N8N + something like SERP. Why?

Because even if you know HTML, CSS, XHTML, JS, DOM, and all the other dev letter soup, you inevitably hit the dreaded selector nightmare. Ever heard of a fragile selector? Ever looked at Linkedins CSS? Iykyk.

But now we have Ai, so yk, it should be easy, just tell ChatGPT or Claude to scrape HN or EDGAR or whatever you want to scrape no problem. Except of course hallucinations, virtually no logs and oh yeah no replays.

I'm new to Notte but I like it. Here's a few reasons why.
One, the UI is clean. That might not sound like a big deal but once you do your first 12 hour build session, you'll understand.
Two, there's code if you want, no code if you don't.
Three, session replays, like actual recorded videos of sessions, not just "ran at 8:03 pm on wed jan 4th.

Then there is Anything API. Let's say you want data from FRED (or anywhere, this is just an example) that isn't exactly available in the API list, like an approximated fed shadow rate. I asked Gemini to write a prompt, then I pasted it into Anything API and got this out.

"shadow_rate_fed_funds — Notte Function Ready
What it does: Produces a continuous, investment-grade monetary policy stance series from 2008 to today. It mirrors the official FEDFUNDS rate when policy is normal, and switches to a 3-factor Gaussian term-structure model when the Fed hits the effective lower bound — using the yield curve slope (DGS10 − DGS2) and Fed balance sheet size (WALCL) to estimate the latent shadow rate."

That's a real endpoint with real logic, that I can now just use in my automations. Pretty sweet.
Not to mention basic captchas, fallback logic and personas for account creations. Also pretty sweet.

And if you need a trust signal, Notte has two.
1) SOC 2 certification and 2) Backed by YC, yk the VC firm that backed Stripe and OpenAI.

Do not miss this deal, it's worth it, trust.
And to Andrea and Lucas, I like your product guys, it's cool. Keep it up!
