Airtop

@Airtop create a session, open a window to example.com/pricing, and tell me what the monthly plan costs

Session created (ID: ses_abc123). Opened window to example.com/pricing. According to the page content, the monthly plan is $49/month for the Standard tier and $149/month for the Pro tier. Both include a 14-day free trial. This query consumed 2.3 Airtop credits. The session is still running and will continue billing in 30-second increments until you close it.

This example chains session creation, navigation, and AI-powered page extraction. Airtop credits are consumed for the query operation. The session remains active after the prompt completes, so you must explicitly terminate it to stop billing. Useful for one-off data extraction from pages that require JavaScript rendering or complex interactions.

@Airtop in session ses_abc123, click the 'Add to Cart' button on the current page, then navigate to the checkout page

Located and clicked the 'Add to Cart' button using natural-language element detection (consumed 1.8 credits). Page updated; cart now shows 1 item. Navigated to example.com/checkout. The checkout form is now visible with fields for shipping address and payment method. Note: this action modified external state by adding an item to your cart.

Demonstrates Airtop's ability to perform irreversible browser actions. The click operation uses AI to locate elements from descriptions rather than CSS selectors, which is flexible but credit-consuming. Be cautious: clicking 'Submit Order' or similar buttons will trigger real-world side effects. Always verify the target element before executing clicks in production workflows.

@Airtop list all my active sessions, then close any that have been running longer than 10 minutes

Found 3 active sessions: ses_abc123 (running 4m 32s), ses_def456 (running 12m 18s), ses_ghi789 (running 47m 03s). Closed ses_def456 and ses_ghi789 as they exceeded the 10-minute threshold. Session ses_abc123 remains active. Closing these sessions stopped their billing; they had accumulated approximately $0.42 in runtime charges combined.

Session management is critical because Airtop bills in 30-second increments while sessions run. This example shows how to audit and clean up long-running sessions programmatically. The list-and-filter pattern helps prevent runaway costs from forgotten sessions. Consider setting up periodic cleanup prompts if your workflow creates many short-lived sessions.

When browser automation beats manual scraping for pricing intel

A 3-person growth team needs to track competitor pricing across 12 SaaS tools every Monday morning. Airtop's Create Session and Navigate Window tools let you script a headless browser that logs into each competitor dashboard, extracts the current pricing table with Query Page, and dumps it into a shared spreadsheet—all without maintaining Puppeteer scripts or fighting CAPTCHA walls. The AI-driven Click Element tool handles dynamic login flows that break traditional selectors. This works until you hit rate limits or need sub-5-minute refresh cycles; at that scale, you're better off negotiating API access. If your team runs this workflow weekly and the 12 sites take under 10 minutes total, Airtop's credit model is cheaper than hiring a contractor to babysit the scraper.

Why Airtop wins for one-off browser evidence gathering

A 6-person support team needs to reproduce customer-reported UI bugs in staging environments that require SSO login. Airtop's Create Window and Query Page tools let a support agent describe the broken element in plain English, navigate to the staging URL, and capture a screenshot with context—without installing browser extensions or sharing credentials. The List Windows tool helps when a bug spans multiple tabs. This approach breaks down if your staging environment blocks headless browsers or if you need to capture bugs in mobile viewports; Airtop runs desktop Chrome only. For teams handling 5-10 visual bug reports per week, the per-session billing is more predictable than maintaining a dedicated QA sandbox.

When Airtop replaces manual copy-paste from vendor dashboards

A 4-person finance team reconciles monthly invoices by logging into 8 different vendor portals that don't offer CSV exports. Airtop's Navigate Window and Query Page tools automate the login-click-extract loop, pulling invoice totals and line items into a structured JSON payload that feeds directly into your accounting system. The AI element locator handles portals that redesign their UI every quarter. This stops working if a vendor adds MFA that requires a hardware token, or if extraction accuracy drops below 95 percent and manual review takes longer than the original copy-paste. For teams spending 3+ hours per month on this ritual, Airtop's credit cost is justified by the time saved.
