Do you support robots.txt so administrators can opt-out of your service?

Not yet - this is a TODO and we'll try to do it asap!

The pricing page mentions how many credits you get but not what a credit does or gets you. Could you elaborate on that?

But with AI it never tells you that. I pay $xxxx for the Claude API, half of the time it breaks it's own code and just does things explicitly told it NOT to do; I think I want to be refunded for the time wasting and frustration, but that's not happening. So you pay credits and you get 'stuff' that 'might work'; that's the reality. I'm gonna say this is basically not even allowed for consumers in the EU, but I don't know that for sure.

Pricing credits - dollars is explained below. +We were thinking about not charging credits whenever one of our agents fails because of a random error on our side (not too frequent, but still). This makes it more reasonable to start exploring and building with us.

Makes sense, thanks.

Oh thanks for pointing this out. Pricing is explained on our landing https://notte.cc.

It’s 500 free credits. Pro plan $79/mo for 10K credits/mo. You can do additional top up 1K credits for $10 when in Pro plan.

If you need more it’s a custom enterprise deal - we work a lot with volume discounts.

It's simple! For $50 a month we give you a thousand smeckles which you can use to crank the floba. A very good deal.
ogandreakiro 2 hours ago
Just explained below what you can do with the 10K smeckles - that's 10K URL scrapes or 5K agent steps or 10K minutes of browsing :)

To reiterate, "what a credit does or gets you" is not explained by your pricing page.

I'll operate on the assumption that it takes roughly 500 credits to scrape a single page for now.

Oh - missed that too. We had this somewhere in the docs and got lost.

- 1 scrape URL : 1 credit ~ $1c - 1 agent step : 2 credits ~ $2c - 1 min browse-time: 1 credit ~ $1c

Meaning if you run an agent for a 10-steps task for a minute it'll cost ~ $21c

Just want to congratulate all involved for the obvious amount of care that has gone into thinking this through ...

I really hope it succeeds through the roof.-

Thanks - that’s nice to hear! :)

I've got to say - and this in a way makes sense: The model seems to be very "URL-oriented" ...

... as in (at least in the demo, the search one) if you ask it to visit a site by name (ie. "Go go Altavista and ...," ...

... it will complain "no URL" has been provided.-

It probably has to do with the "special instructions" given to the AI for this one program/demo ...

... still.-

Yeah - the search demo (https://search.notte.cc/) is just an attempt to showcase what one can do with a scraping agent embedded in a served LLM with an MCP server. We have a sys prompt pushing the LLM to request an URL to make sure it's scraping what you want to scrape - but I've played with it a bit and it can also come up with it's own URLs to be scraped.

Looks good, excited to try this together with the CDP feature. If it works well we can add it to our (TestingBot) integration/documentation.
ogandreakiro 16 hours ago
Hey! Sure happy to create a shared integration with TestinBot - shoot me an email so we can discuss andrea@notte.cc :)

for the hybrid workflows, curious how do you decide which parts need AI reasoning vs can be hardcoded? is it adaptive or manual config?
ogandreakiro 16 hours ago
right now it's hardcode - you write a web automation script where at some parts you have a very specialized agent to take the very few steps in your workflow that require reasoning/adaptability. Future: we're trying to make this process automatic.

just tried to use it to extract data from hyatt.com

completely failed

another hype but actually doesn't work browser agent.

ogandreakiro 16 hours ago
hey - thanks for trying out. not sure what you're trying to extract from hyatt.com but just naively tested the most basic agent (https://github.com/nottelabs/notte?tab=readme-ov-file#run-in...) with simple prompt task="scrape data from hyatt.com landing page" and it worked perfectly:

answer=Successfully navigated to hyatt.com and closed the cookie consent. The page content includes navigation links (Explore, Offers, Meetings & Events, Loyalty Program, Language, Sign In or Join), a search form with inputs for City/Address/Landmark/Airport/Hotel, Check-in and Check-out dates, and options for rooms/guests and special rates. Below the search form, there are sections for 'Earn bonus points at new hotels', 'Limited-Time Offer: Earn 2 Free Nights + 25,000 Bonus Points', 'More Places to Discover' with specific hotel examples (Park Hyatt Auckland, Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill, 7Pines Resort Ibiza, Hyatt Centric Murano Venice), 'Join World of Hyatt' with benefits, and various promotional sections like 'Incredible offers, incredible places', 'Plan a summer of more', 'Outdoor adventure awaits', and 'Wellbeing your way'. The page also lists different Hyatt brands categorized into Luxury, Lifestyle, Inclusive, Classics, and Essentials. At the bottom, there are links for Reservations, Customer Service, Corporate Sites, Explore More, and Connect with Hyatt (social media links), along with legal information (Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, Cookie Center, Security & Safety, Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking, Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information)

Credit based pricing is broken. No way u produce shiy then user get out of credit to get nothing done.
ogandreakiro 2 hours ago
There's a way to top-up 1K credits for $10 in our Pro plan. But if someone needs more then the 10K/mo + manual topups - I'd suggest moving to a custom deal. We can unlock any credits you need with custom rate limits and volume discounts.

There needs to be a way to purchase "X" more credits then it works IMO

How well does it handle captchas?
ogandreakiro 12 hours ago
There’s no magic here unfortunately. We’re working hard to make anti-detection as good as possible with proxies to avoid captchas in first place. When they get there - we can solve ~60% of providers right now (incl reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare, and main ones) and some others are still work in progress.

does your scraping endpoint also provide stealth mode?
ogandreakiro 12 hours ago
Yes! We just added stealth support for our scraping endpoint. The docs should be updated soon but you can set proxies now
