The Scenario
Someone on your data operations team built a dozen Browse.ai robots over the past year — different robots for different scraping jobs, each with its own set of required inputs. Now a new analyst is onboarding, and nobody can tell her which robots exist, what they're called exactly, what parameters each one needs, or which ones are still maintained.
The knowledge lives in the heads of two people who are both traveling this week.
She needs to document all of it in an Excel workbook for the onboarding guide she's been asked to build. She has access to Browse.ai. She has a blank workbook open. She has no idea where to start.
The bad version:
- Log into Browse.ai, click through the robots list one by one, and copy the name, ID, and last-updated date for each into the workbook manually
- Go back into each robot's settings to find its required input parameters, note whether each is required or optional, and add that to the workbook
- Repeat for all twelve robots, realize you missed a column, go back through the list again
There's no export button for this. Browse.ai's dashboard shows you one robot at a time. You're doing this by hand, field by field, which means an hour of clicking for something that should take a minute.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the workbook, understands what you're looking at, and through its Browse.ai integration it can query your entire robot list and write the results into a structured table in one shot.
Export all my Browse.ai robots to Excel listing their name, input parameters, and whether each parameter is required or optional — one robot per row with headers in row 1
What You Get
- A fully populated table: robot name in column A, ID in column B, required parameters in column C, optional parameters in column D, last updated date in column E
- Each parameter listed with its field name so it's copy-pasteable into future automation configs
- Headers in row 1, data starting at row 2, ready to share as-is
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You only want robots that have been updated in the last 90 days
Stale robots clutter the guide. Filter them out before the data even lands.
Pull all Browse.ai robots updated in the last 90 days into this Excel workbook — include robot name, ID, required inputs, and last updated date — sorted by last updated descending
You want to split required vs. optional parameters into separate columns
The current output puts all parameters in one cell. You need them separated for the onboarding guide's format.
Pull all Browse.ai robots into this Excel workbook with robot name in column A, ID in column B, each required parameter in its own column starting at column C, and each optional parameter in its own column after that — add a header row
You want to cross-reference which robots share the same input parameters
Two robots both use a "target_url" parameter and you want to group them together in the documentation.
Pull all Browse.ai robots into columns A through E of my 'Robot Inventory' worksheet, then in column F write a comma-separated list of other robot names that share at least one input parameter with this robot
You want a full audit including last run date and task count
The onboarding guide needs more than just parameters — it needs to show which robots are actively used.
Pull all Browse.ai robots into this Excel workbook — include robot name, ID, required inputs, last updated date, date of last task run, and total task count — one robot per row with a header row
Combining metadata and usage stats in one prompt means the guide is immediately useful, not just structurally complete.
