Bardeen

Bardeen is an AI-powered workflow automation browser extension. It automates repetitive web tasks including LinkedIn data extraction, CRM updates, and research workflows.

The platform includes pre-built playbooks for common LinkedIn tasks like saving profiles to spreadsheets, extracting search results, and syncing with CRMs. Users can also create custom automations.

Bardeen uses AI to suggest automations based on your browsing patterns. The "Magic Box" feature creates automations from natural language descriptions.

The tool works entirely in the browser, making it lightweight and easy to use. It connects with 50+ apps including Notion, Google Sheets, HubSpot, and Salesforce.

Bardeen is like having an AI assistant for browser tasks. The pre-built LinkedIn playbooks save significant time on data extraction.

The Magic Box is genuinely useful - I describe what I want to do in plain English, and Bardeen creates the automation. "Save LinkedIn profiles to Google Sheets" works perfectly.

The free tier is very generous. I used it for months before upgrading. The $10/month premium unlocks unlimited automations.

As a browser extension, it's lightweight and fast. However, automations only run when your browser is open, unlike cloud-based tools.

LinkedIn extraction playbooks work well but carry standard ToS risks. Use with appropriate caution.

Verdict: Best for browser-based automation with AI assistance at an affordable price.
