The Scenario
It's the third time this month someone in finance has pinged you asking what Browserbase is costing. The first time you pulled the numbers manually. The second time you promised a recurring report. Now it's Tuesday afternoon, the monthly close is Thursday, and you still haven't built the thing.
The bad version:
- You open the Browserbase dashboard, navigate to each project one at a time, note down the browser minutes and proxy bytes, and type them into an Excel workbook by hand.
- Halfway through you realize the numbers you copied for project three were from last month's view because you forgot to reset the date filter.
- You start over, finish the list, and then have to add a SUM row because finance wants totals — which you forgot to include the first time.
You were supposed to spend this afternoon on the cost model, not on data collection. The report is due in 48 hours and you've used up an hour rebuilding a workbook that should exist automatically.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your workbook context, connects to Browserbase Tool, and pulls your project data — including usage stats — directly into your rows. No dashboard clicking. No copy-pasting. You describe the output you need.
Export all Browserbase projects to my Excel workbook with their project ID, name, and total resource usage — browser minutes and proxy bytes — into columns A through D of my "Usage Report" worksheet starting at row 2.
What You Get
After running that prompt:
- Column A contains the Browserbase project ID for each project.
- Column B contains the project name.
- Column C contains the total browser minutes consumed for the current billing period.
- Column D contains the total proxy bytes used.
- Row 1 headers are written automatically if the range is empty.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You want the usage figures in readable units — minutes rounded to 2 decimals, proxy bytes converted to megabytes
Pull all Browserbase projects and their usage stats. Round browser minutes to 2 decimal places. Convert proxy bytes to megabytes (divide by 1,048,576) and round to 2 decimal places. Write project ID, name, browser minutes (rounded), and proxy MB into columns A through D of my "Usage Report" worksheet.
Some projects are internal test projects that should be excluded
Pull all Browserbase projects and their usage stats, but skip any project whose name contains "test" or "internal". Write the remaining projects — project ID, name, browser minutes, and proxy bytes — into columns A through D.
You want a cost estimate column based on your contracted rates
Pull all Browserbase projects with browser minutes and proxy bytes. In column E, calculate an estimated cost using $0.004 per browser minute and $0.00001 per proxy byte, and write the total as a dollar amount rounded to two decimal places.
The report needs a summary row plus the raw project rows, with data validation and cost projection in one pass
Pull all Browserbase projects, calculate browser minutes, proxy MB (proxy bytes ÷ 1,048,576), and estimated cost at $0.004/minute + $0.00001/byte. Write one row per project starting at row 3 in columns A through E of my "Usage Report" worksheet. In row 2, add a SUM row across columns C, D, and E labeled "TOTAL" in column A. Include a header row in row 1.
One prompt handles the data pull, the unit conversion, the cost calculation, and the summary row together.
