DIGITAL EMPLOYEES

The Browser Agent

The trades ecosystem is messy. Leads live in one portal, material pricing in another, and accounting in a third. Most of these systems don't talk to each other. The HomePro Browser Agent is a digital employee that "sees" the web like a human does, navigating portals, extracting data, and moving information between systems automatically.

Contextual Surveillance.

The Browser Agent is a digital employee that "sees" the web through an institutional lens, navigating complex portals and extracting data where official APIs don't exist.

Scan
Vision-Based Site Surveillance
The agent monitors city permit portals, vendor catalogs, and competitor pricing. It uses vision-based navigation to detect structural UI changes, ensuring persistent data extraction without fragile scripts.
Extract
Intelligence-Driven Data Parsing
Data is not just scraped; it is reasoned through. The agent identifies high-intent leads from permit descriptions or benchmarks the lowest material bids across fragmented supplier inventories.
Classify
Strategic Intent Resolution
Extracted data is classified against your business logic. "This competitor special is a direct threat to our North District pricing." High-priority insights are prepared for immediate orchestration.
Sync
Autonomous CRM Synchronization
Data is injected directly into your core systems—CRM, procurement, or accounting. No CSV exports or manual entry. The web becomes a live, structured extension of your local database.

Navigation Maturity

Brittle Scraping vs. Autonomous Browser Intelligence.

Brittle Manual Scraping
  • Simple scripts that break when a button moves 5px.
  • No "context—just a raw, messy dump of text data.
  • Blocked by logins, 2FA, or basic bot detection protocols.
  • Requires manual data entry into office management tools.
Institutional Browser Intelligence
  • Vision-based navigation that adapts to any UI structural shift.
  • Intelligent reasoning to identify and extract high-value insights.
  • Securely handles complex logins, 2FA, and municipal portals.
  • Autonomous system-to-system data orchestration and sync.
Autonomous Web Layer

No API? No problem.

The Browser Agent doesn't need an official integration. It logs in, finds what it needs, and executes the task just like your office manager would — only 100x faster.

Web automation for real business.

Portal Lead Extraction

Automatically pull leads from Angi, Thumbtack, Yelp, and Google LSA. No more manual copy-pasting. Leads appear in your CRM the second they are posted.

Material Procurement

The agent can log into your supply house portals, check stock for specific parts, and even place orders based on your project needs. Never run out of stock again.

Vendor Price Comparison

Instantly compare pricing for a list of materials across 5 different suppliers. The agent finds the lowest price and the fastest delivery window in seconds.

Compliance & Background Checks

Automatically verify insurance certificates and professional licenses for your subcontractors on state board websites. Ensure you're always protected.

Real-World Scenarios

Three tasks your Browser Agent handles before breakfast.

Your team is doing hours of manual web research every week — copy-pasting leads, checking material prices, verifying subcontractor licenses. The Browser Agent does all of it automatically.

Daily — 6:00 AM Permit Scan

The permit pull

Owner-builder permits filed in the last 24 hours are warm leads — homeowners about to start projects who haven't hired a contractor yet.

01Browser Agent logs into municipal permit portal. Scans 24hr filing history.
02Filters for high-intent signals: "Roof replacement," "HVAC install," "panel upgrade."
034 qualified leads injected into CRM before your team logs in at 8am.
42 minutes of manual research replaced. Leads captured every morning.
Per Project — BOM Audit

The supply chain audit

Project #4421 has 8 line items. Your office manager would spend an hour getting quotes across 3 suppliers.

01Agent logs into Ferguson, Johnstone, and Grainger simultaneously.
02Pulls current pricing and stock availability for all 8 BOM items.
03Ferguson wins by $686. Draft PO created and routed for 1-click approval.
$686 saved per project. 1 hour of admin time recovered. Happens automatically.
Weekly — Sub Compliance

The license sweep

Monday morning. 12 subs on active projects. Are their licenses and COIs still current?

01Agent navigates state licensing board and insurance carrier portals for each sub.
02Cross-checks each against the list of active projects. Flags any discrepancies.
03Compliance report delivered to your inbox before crews roll out at 7am.
0 compliance gaps. 2+ hours of manual verification eliminated weekly.
Return on Deployment

The web works for you while you sleep.

Every day, there's data on the open web that could be in your CRM, your estimate, or your procurement order. Here's what it costs when it isn't.

Common Questions

Before you deploy your Browser Agent.

What portals can the Browser Agent actually access?
The Browser Agent can access any web-based portal — including those that require login, 2FA, and CAPTCHA handling. Common use cases include municipal permit portals, supplier sites (Ferguson, Johnstone, Grainger, HD Supply), state licensing boards, lead platforms (Angi, Thumbtack, Google LSA), and review platforms. If the portal exists on the web, the agent can navigate it.
Is this the same as web scraping? Is it legal?
The Browser Agent operates like a human browsing a website — it navigates pages, reads publicly visible content, and logs into portals using credentials you provide. It respects robots.txt and terms of service. For internal portals (your suppliers, your permit portal), you have full authorization as an account holder. For public data extraction, we configure scope within the bounds of ToS compliance.
How are portal credentials stored and secured?
All portal credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and stored in isolated, tenant-specific vaults — never in shared infrastructure. The agent only accesses the specific fields and pages required for its configured task. Credentials are never logged, transmitted in plaintext, or accessible outside the secure execution environment.
What if a portal changes its layout?
Unlike brittle rule-based scrapers, the Browser Agent uses vision-based navigation — it understands the page visually rather than relying on fixed CSS selectors. Minor layout changes (button moves, redesigns) don't break it. For major structural overhauls, the agent flags the issue, pauses the task, and notifies your team so the configuration can be updated.
Can it place orders, not just check prices?
Yes, with your approval. By default, the Browser Agent creates a draft purchase order and routes it for human approval before executing any transaction. You can configure pre-approved thresholds: "Auto-order from Ferguson if total is under $500 and stock is confirmed." Any order above your threshold requires a human sign-off before the agent checks out.
How is this different from Zapier or Make?
Zapier and Make work through official APIs — they only connect to tools that have published integrations. The Browser Agent works on any website, with or without an API. It can log into a portal that was built in 2003 with no API and extract exactly what you need. It's designed for the messy reality of the trades ecosystem, not a curated app marketplace.
