I just used
@browserbots to automate one of the most repetitive processes of my day:
Compiling stock lists.
One fun fact about myself is I'm a swing trader (stocks).
Every day, I combine about 20 stock lists from different sites into a single .csv that I can upload into
@tradingview.
Admittedly, visiting sites, clicking download, opening multiple spreadsheets, and copying/pasting columns into a new spreadsheet isn't the best use of my time.
It's mind-numbing.
But last week, I found
@browserbots (no personal affiliation or sponsorship - I'm just mind-blown).
I used it to create a browser bot that does it all for me. I can actually watch the screen as the mouse cursor moves, clicks, and downloads (but typically I just minimize it and let it do its thing while I check in on market indicators for the day).
I paired this together with a really simple app I created using CoDev (no code) that lets me drag and drop all the spreadsheets into a window that combines all the tickers into a single downloadable .csv.
What used to be a 15-minute task now takes under a minute.
As with most apps I've become really good at, it all begins with building something for yourself.
And there's never been better time to build your own solutions - the tools are out there.
