What is Notte?
Simply put, Notte provides a platform to build and deploy web agents that don’t break. By turning complex and repetitive web tasks into reliable self‑healing workflows, businesses can scale automation with confidence.
The web is still designed for humans, not agents. Pure web agents can navigate it, but while they excel on benchmarks, they’re unreliable and costly in production. Traditional scripts are faster and cheaper, yet a single website tweak can break them entirely.
Notte’s answer is Hybrid Agent Workflows: freeze the routine into deterministic steps and reserve LLMs for when adaptive reasoning is required. If a page changes out of hours, your flow doesn’t wait on you to redeploy—the agent adapts at runtime and carries the task to completion, armed with the necessary tooling for secure logins, identity management, payment integration, and audit‑ready replays.
In short: faster & cheaper than any fully agentic/LLM‑based solution, more resilient than pure Playwright/Puppeteer, and reliable enough for everything from regulated portals to high‑stakes checkouts at scale.
Core Primitives
| Primitive | Description |
|---|---|
| Observe | Converts a URL into a compact, semantic context: what’s on the page and which elements are interactable. |
| Execute | Runs actions as a chain. When an action is unambiguous, it runs deterministically; when a page deviates, an agent falls back to reasoning over the observed map and recovers until success. |
| Scrape | Extracts structured outputs that survive cosmetic DOM churn. |
| Agent | Orchestrates Observe, Execute, and Scrape into a coherent workflow. It maintains session state and carries context across pages, ensuring tasks reach completion across multi‑step workflows. |
Production Tooling
- Hosted Sessions – Built‑in stealth and autoscaling.
- Vaults – Secure storage for credentials, MFA tokens, SSO, and cookies.
- Personas – Disposable emails and phone numbers for account creation and verification flows.
- Payments – End‑to‑end card flow execution.
- File Upload/Download – Integrated handling of assets.
- Session Replays – Audit‑ready visual summaries.
Use Cases
Market and Pricing Monitors
Teams track competitive sites that change daily (promos, plan pages, fine print). A Notte agent spins up sessions across targets, applies filters, captures price tables, diffs changes, and posts a structured report. Deterministic steps keep moving; the agent only “thinks” when a control disappears or a layout shifts.
Onboarding Helpers
Many customer portals have no API and tricky UX. With Vaults and Personas, a Notte flow completes login, passes MFA, verifies email/SMS, uploads documents, and returns a clean JSON outcome (plus a replay for compliance).
Tax and Finance Portals
Deterministic logins and form fills are fast, but credentials must be secured and reliability demands adaptability. Coupled with a vault for security, a Notte agent steps in only when a field relocates or a PDF viewer changes. Monthly filings run without constant fixes or manual intervention.
Compliance Sweeps
Scaled browser sessions fan out across regulator or licensure portals to scrape statuses and write expiring items into a queue. The variance lives in two or three steps; everything else is frozen.
Catalogs and Pricing
Observe exposes reliable action spaces for “Add to cart” or “Page next.” Scrape delivers structured records regardless of DOM changes. Agents traverse category pages, capture product details, normalize variants and pricing, and return clean records ready for analysis. Residential IP rotation and built‑in stealth keep data flowing at scale without scraping blocks.
Key Benefits
- Latency & Cost – Deterministic first; agentic only when necessary.
- Reliability – Inference‑time recovery when the web moves; no “fix and redeploy” loop for trivial changes.
- Observability – Structured outputs plus replays make debugging easy.
- Scale – Hosted sessions with stealth and autoscaling eliminate the burden of managing browser infrastructure.
How It Works (Example Flow)
- Define the goal – e.g., “log in and download last month’s invoices.”
- Observe – Returns a semantic map of the login page: clickable elements, input fields, submit actions.
- Execute – Enters email/password from Vaults, submits, navigates to billing, opens the correct row, and downloads the invoice.
- Recovery – If anything drifts (button renamed, table reordered), the agent reasons over the observed context, selects the correct control, and proceeds.
- Scrape – Outputs structured data; Replay provides the exact session for verification.
Components Overview
- Vaults – Enterprise‑grade storage for credentials, MFA tokens, SSO, and cookies.
- Personas – Disposable emails and phone numbers for high‑volume sign‑up and verification.
- Payments – Controlled card entry for checkout flows and agentic transactions.
- Sessions – Hosted browsers with stealth modes and autoscaling, ready for demand spikes.
- Replays – Visual summaries and session playback for diagnosis or proof.
- CDP Compatibility – Keep existing hooks or devtools workflows.
Hybrid Wins
Frozen deterministic steps plus selective reasoning is the pattern that holds up under real‑world complexity—government portals, enterprise logins, consumer checkout, the lot. The answer to reliable automation: the end‑user sees faster outcomes, and your team sees fewer tickets and fewer redeploys.
