What is Bardeen?
Bardeen is a browser-based AI automation tool that combines web scraping, browser automation, and app integrations as a Chrome extension.
Only works while Chrome is open. Close the tab, automation stops.
Limited to what you can do in a browser. No deep tool integration.
AI credits burn fast. Real cost is higher than the sticker price.
Fragile. When websites change their layout, automations break.
