We handle onboarding and compliance for a large number of vendors, and a lot of our work used to involve manual checks on government sites, uploading forms, and downloading verification PDFs. We tried RPA tools in the past, but they were brittle and expensive.
Asteroid hit the sweet spot. It’s affordable, flexible, and works on any browser-based workflow. We trained an agent once to handle vendor verification, and it’s been running daily without hiccups. Even when the page layout changed slightly, we were able to retrain it in under 10 minutes.
Our internal productivity has gone up significantly, probably saving ~30+ man hours a week across the team. It’s now part of our standard tool stack for anything browser-related.

👋🏻 Hi Product Hunt makers!
We're David & Joe, co-founders of Asteroid-a platform for building powerful AI browser agents.
We launched with YC in February, received incredible interest, and spent six months battle-testing our browser agents with startups and enterprises to automate their back offices.
We were so impressed by the agents our customers built that we decided to open the platform. Now anyone can reliably automate any browser tasks!
..But wait, everyone—from AI labs and startups to your grandmother—is racing to create the ultimate browser agent for one-off tasks. So how's Asteroid different?
Our users taught us something important: they don't want one "do-everything" agent that breaks half the time. They want hundreds of specialized, rock-solid agents—each built in minutes and running flawlessly day after day.
We believe domain experts—not just engineers—should easily build reliable, customizable agents to truly unlock AI-driven automation. That insurance broker manually pulling quotes from 12 different portals? They should be able to build their own agent in 10 minutes, not spend hours explaining every click to a developer.
We now serve dozens of teams automating critical yet repetitive back-office tasks. This includes startups effortlessly integrating voice agents with legacy systems, corporations automating entire back offices, and developers embedding powerful browser automation within their products.
Real-world Asteroid use cases running in production:
✍️ Insurance Quoting: Auto-filling complex forms across numerous providers.
🏥 Medical Appointments: Automating patient data entry into healthcare systems.
🧾 Invoice Retrieval: Logging into supplier portals to find and download invoices.
📊 Reporting to Google Sheets: Collecting data from dashboards for analytics.
🏛️ Grant Applications: Completing intricate forms reliably at scale.
🎙️ Voice Agent Integration: Connecting voice-based agents seamlessly with back-office tasks across legacy systems.
How it works
Creating browser agents with Asteroid is simple - and even fun. Our intuitive platform combines natural language prompts, scripts, and specialized tools into clear, visual workflows. You can instantly run and interact with your agent, refine it via chat, and iterate quickly. No coding required!

@pie3 Congrats on this luanch, love what the browser space is doing
Asteroid
@mogabr thanks, super exciting, but competitive space! We've been there for some time now so used to it!
Sounds like an awesome product - would love to test :))
Asteroid
@frostman787 You can go and try at https://platform.asteroid.ai/ !
@pie3 Congratulations on the launch — you guys rock!!

Hey @vishruth_n , founding engineer at Asteroid here!
Yes we can!
Asteroid features the concept of Agent Profiles which allows you to configure:
- Credentials (for login details) in the Vault
- Browser sessions to solve login challenges like OTPs
- Enabling captcha settings
- Configuring proxies (which helps circumvent bot detection)
As for your specific use case, feel free to head over to platform.asteroid.ai and build an agent, or send us more details and we can send back a custom template for you to get started!
@vishruth_n YES! If you give me some more details I can help build an agent for you

@d_r_farrell Hi Daniel, great question. I've used Asteroid to automate a lot of the boring stuff with Asteroid, for example, scraping info for cold outbound. If it's a repetitive task that wouldn't require a lot of thought on your part, then it's great to automate.
Asteroid
@d_r_farrell I also tried to use Asteroid to apply for a California state license, such an annoying task, but the state website was hard to understand even for an AI agent :D
Hi, can your agents browse the Library of Babel to find the book I want?
Asteroid
@michael_kuc Done! Try it out here. Just a heads up that we may go bankrupt before it finds your book.
How do you get the agent to solve the maze? I tried to get our agent to do it but Claude seemed to have no concept of how to do it, it was just brute forcing movement inputs as if it couldn't see the maze at all.
@james_stanley3 This is what I did:
"Solve this maze:
There is a 8x8 grid of boxes labeled “start,” “path,” “wall,” and “finish” (which sits in the bottom-right). Your job is simple:
Find a way from the player to the finish through the boxes marked “path,” steering clear of any “wall” boxes, until you reach “finish.”
Once you know the complete route, perform it using the up, down, left and right arrows
Do not finish until you have reached the finish cell"
This looks incredible! I love the focus on agents at scale, especially the observability. Would your agent be able to take a travel blog post like this one, and map it on Google Maps? If it could label the discussed locations as well, that would be awesome.
@wilco_kruijer1 On it!
Bio Calls by Cross Paths
Amazing! Can I have like 2-3 agents running at the same time with some repeatable daily tasks? Like for example "write 100 super good replies to new tweets"?
Asteroid
@heypaus Yes that is definitely possible! You can create an agent profile so you'll stay signed in to your x account as well!
