I was originally looking for something to automate web tasks like:
- Filling out forms across multiple sites
- Scraping contact info or emails
- Simulating clicks/logins/posting
- Even doing some light social media actions
Most tools I found were either:
- Too technical (needed Python or scripting)
- Or too limited (could only scrape or click, but not both)
BotChief caught my attention because it’s completely visual — no code required. You build bots by dragging and dropping logic blocks, like “open URL”, “click button”, “extract text”, etc. Kind of like Zapier, but for browser actions.
It runs on Windows and supports multithreading, variable handling, captcha modules, scheduled tasks — and a bunch of other features that surprised me.
