Simplex Launches: Web Automation for Developers
"Automate repetitive browser workflows with ease"
TL;DR:
- Simplex is an API that allows you to automate manual workflows on the web. For example, a customer uses them to autonomously purchase materials from Amazon, poll their email inbox for tracking information, then update their internal documentation with that tracking info every six hours.
- Book time with them here if they can help you automate your business.
Founded by Shreya Karpoor & Marco Nocito
Teams are often burdened by manual tasks that have to be repeated thousands of times per month — for example, populating spreadsheets with information from recent emails. From their experience, they found that asking AI agents to solve these problems just didn’t work. They often didn’t follow the same path when they asked them to do the same thing twice, and they couldn’t control any of the actions they took when they made a mistake.
So they built Simplex to inject intelligence into repeatable, known workflows to help you automate your manual tasks.
With Simplex, writing a function to pull tracking information from your email is as easy as this:

A few reasons customers love Simplex:
- Straight-forward, reliable intelligence: They break up your web workflows into smaller, more atomic actions (click, type, extract) to enforce while allowing you to leverage the intelligence of AI.
- Extract anything on the web: They have built their own vision system to more accurately extract small icons, text, images, or even entire sections of a page.
- Run on any site, even internal tooling: They store your credentials securely to handle website authentication, meaning you can use Simplex on any website or private tooling you have access to.
- No need to deal with browser infrastructure yourself: They handle all the infrastructure, hosting, and scheduling, letting you run these workflows asynchronously at scale.
People have requested Simplex to:
- act as procurement software: automatically order parts and update internal spreadsheets with delivery information across multiple vendors (Amazon, DigiKey, etc.)
- scrape financial information for their hedge fund clients: pull daily headlines and perform sentiment analysis across hundreds of financial websites for quantitative analysis research
- autonomously update their internal database of products: aggregate manufacturer marketing information for over 2,000,000+ retail products
- do the work of an entire data collection team: collect grant and award information from over 700 government websites
- and more…
