Chrome-native automation that reads, writes, and executes real web actions with robotic AI precision.

Introducing Pendless AI Browser Automation

Today we’re releasing Pendless AI Browser Automation for Business, a Chrome-based automation platform that turns plain English instructions into web actions in seconds. It’s built for teams that rely on the browser to manage data, submit forms, or connect systems that don’t have APIs. Pendless enables users to automate anything they can do online - directly inside Chrome - through natural language in a browser side panel or an enqueueing API.

Pendless introduces a new class of AI-driven automation that operates directly within the browser. It combines conversational control, task orchestration, and system integration to bridge the gap between chat-based assistants and traditional robotic process automation (RPA).

Why It Matters

Teams waste time on repetitive browser work - entering purchase orders, filing reports, re-uploading data. The average employee spends 581 hours a year on these manual tasks. Nearly 60% say they could save over six hours each week with automation (McKinsey, Smartsheet).

Yet only 20% of small and medium-sized businesses use robotic process automation. Most find traditional tools too complex, costly, or brittle. But when implemented successfully, 80% of companies report a happier workforce (Deloitte).

Pendless closes this gap. It provides a simple, reliable, and secure automation layer that lives where people already work—inside Chrome. No APIs, no integrations, no IT overhead. Just clear instructions in plain English that turn browser routines into automated workflows.

The need is massive: the RPA industry is worth $4 billion, growing at 40% annually through 2032. Pendless democratizes RPA and brings that power to every business - making enterprise-grade automation accessible to operations of any size (Grandview Research).

How It Works

Pendless operates through four core components:

Automation Engine – Interacting directly with the target webpage, it captures visible elements, structures them in a snapshot, and returns AI-generated actions such as clicks, selections, text inputs, or navigation steps. It supports read, write, and mixed (read/write) operations.
Side Panel Interface – A Chrome sidebar where users can chat with the AI, test automations, enqueue tasks, and monitor progress. Tasks can be launched individually or in bulk, triggered manually or through API.
Server Processing Layer – The server curates the snapshot, processes prompts through an AI, validates responses, and executes automation logic. It also manages authentication, user permissions, and credit tracking for predictable system operation.
Enqueueing API – Developers can programmatically queue and monitor tasks through a lightweight REST interface, enabling integration with CRMs, ERPs, or dashboards for system-to-system automation.

Each task runs inside a live browser context, ensuring compatibility with real-world web behaviors and dynamic sites.

Performance and Benchmarks

Pendless is engineered for high-throughput, predictable browser automation. In real-world internal testing, the system completes complex, multi-step workflows in roughly 30 seconds, far faster than manual execution. Most remaining latency comes from model response time, which continues to shrink as infrastructure advances.

The platform shows strong consistency at scale: workflows that normally take several minutes per human operator can be repeated hundreds of times with no drift, no degradation, and identical results. Costs stay low thanks to linear scaling and efficient task routing.

Recent comparative testing underscores this performance profile. Using a shared set of automation prompts, Pendless completed tasks substantially faster and with higher step-level reliability than another leading browser-automation agent. The outcome reflects Pendless’s focus on stable navigation, error-resilient execution, and deterministic workflow planning.

Key Metrics	Human Baseline	Pendless Average	Improvement
Data-entry workflow	3–5 min/task	~30 sec	6–10× faster
Accuracy over 100 runs	93%	100% repeatability	+7%
Cost per operation (est.)	$0.80	< $0.03	~94% lower

Pendless is built for organizations that need speed, reliability, and scale — not just automation.

Safety and Reliability

Pendless was designed for precision and control.

All communications use encrypted HTTPS/TLS channels, and no conversations are stored by default. Sensitive credentials are encrypted and automatically deleted after short retention periods. Servers are HIPAA-certified and GDPR-compliant.

To minimize LLM variability, Pendless stabilizes AI input and output at multiple stages. It employs guardrails that prevent speculative or creative actions, ensuring automation follows explicit user instructions. The system defaults to robotic behavior — predictable, deterministic execution — and only engages agentic behavior when inputs are incomplete.

Known limitations include:

Inability to process PDFs or images.
Limited access to cross-origin iframes or non-HTML content.
Restrictions on synthetic interactions in highly protected sites.

Early Use and Results

Pilot users report significant productivity gains.

Manufacturing teams reduced order-entry time by 85% using queued automations for ERP input.
Insurance brokers saved 10+ hours weekly automating client data re-entry into comparison portals.
Law firms automated USCIS form completion and document uploads without external integrations.

“Pendless removed the single most repetitive task in our workflow,” said an early beta user in operations.

“What used to take an entire afternoon now runs while we focus on strategy.”
