From getting answers
to getting work done.
Actionbook gathers data from your websites, runs the analysis, and builds and deploys a dashboard, so you can share your work easily.
When Claude only returns a Markdown report or local HTML file, that file still needs to be published. Actionbook handles dashboard creation and deployment.
Your coworker.
Right in your browser.
Actionbook is your browser coworker. It searches pages, reads the details, clicks buttons, and moves through connected actions in one flow.
From finding the right LinkedIn profile to sending a personalized connection request, hand off the whole task and get back completed work.
Work where
you already work.
Actionbook works across the websites in your browser. When a task spans multiple tabs, let Actionbook work across them and get it done.
Claude has limited integrations through connectors, and browser tasks can be slow. You may still need to finish part of the work yourself.
