Read the full Browse AI review

Browse AI lets you train a 'robot' to extract data from a website by pointing and clicking, then run it on a schedule to monitor that site for changes — competitor pricing, job listings, real estate data and more — without writing a scraper. Pricing is credit-based, with every extraction and monitoring run consuming credits from a monthly allowance that scales with website, seat and retention limits per tier.

Read the full Cursor review

Cursor is the AI-first code editor that many senior engineers have quietly switched to. It forks VS Code, adds deep repo understanding, Composer for multi-file edits and background agents that can plan and execute changes on their own. The Tab autocomplete alone is worth the switch. Cursor works with every major model and lets you pick per-request. If you write code for a living, this is the tool most likely to change how you work.
