THE PROBLEM

People still live on the web.
Nothing lets you make it yours.

Robin doesn’t just write automations. It helps you make the internet your own — customise the pages you already use, then automate the boring parts, and open the gate between websites, your experience, and your MCPs.

🎨

Customise the web

You still spend your day in other people’s UIs. Restyle them, strip the noise, rewrite the layout — make every site fit you.

Then automate

Once the page is yours, kill the repetitive clicks. Chatbots only describe the work. Robin runs it — and saves the move.

🔓

Open the gate

Websites, your browser experience, and your MCPs shouldn’t be sealed off. Robin bridges the page to Linear, Notion, GitHub, and the rest of your belt.

THE SIGNAL

You ask. Robin delivers.

Robin reads the live page — structure, buttons, forms, text — and turns plain English into JavaScript that runs right there. Nothing fires until you hit Run.

  1. 01

    Ask

    “Mark every .spec.ts file in this PR as viewed.” Robin scans the page and writes code for this DOM — not a guess.

  2. 02

    Run

    One click. The script executes in the page — no DevTools, no copy-paste. You stay in control of the trigger.

  3. 03

    Refine

    Errors and console output flow back into the chat. Robin reads them and ships a fixed version. Iterate until it's right.

  4. 04

    Save forever

    Codename it as an Action, set it to auto-run on a site, distill it into a Skill, or grow it into a cross-site Automation.

🦇 Robin — side panel

THE UTILITY BELT

Every gadget a sidekick needs.

👁️

Page-aware AI

Robin sees what you see: headings, landmarks, interactive elements, selected text, even GitHub PR context — plus multi-page memory for pagination and cross-site flows.

One-click Run

Generated scripts execute directly in the page. Review the code, hit Run, watch it work.

🗂️

Saved Actions

Codename your best moves and replay them anytime — or set them to auto-run on a site, every visit.

🧠

Learned Skills

Robin distills working scripts into reusable site knowledge — selectors, gotchas, proven flows — and recalls them on return visits.

Self-Polish

Optional loop: Robin runs the script, inspects the page for evidence the goal was met, and auto-improves until it is.

🛰️

Continuations

Scripts re-arm after navigation — wizards, pagination, login-then-act flows handled in one automation.

🤖

The Robin Script API

Every script gets resilient superpowers: Robin.click, Robin.fill, Robin.waitFor with multi-signal targeting (role, label, text) — plus in-script AI via Robin.ai() and your connected tools via Robin.mcp, mid-automation.

MULTI-SITE MISSIONS

Teach by doing.
Robin learns the route.

Hit record and walk through the task once — across as many pages and sites as it takes. Robin captures every stop, takes your notes, and builds one automation that continues across navigations.

  • 🎬 Record the journey — login → dashboard → download → upload elsewhere. Robin watches every page.
  • 📝 Add instructions — per-page notes plus general guidance, in plain English.
  • 🧩 Build the automation — one multi-page, state-machine script, even cross-site.
  • 🚀 Replay on demand — saved to your library, refinable in chat forever.

THE ALLIANCE

Robin calls in backup.

Plug your tools straight into the mission over MCP (Model Context Protocol). One click to connect — OAuth happens right in the browser — and Robin can read and write them from chat or from inside a running script.

INTEL

Questions from the field.

Do I need an API key?

On Basic, yes — connect Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Kimi, OpenRouter, or a custom endpoint. On Pro, no — hosted Robin AI is included with monthly credit.

Does Robin run code without asking?

No. You review the script and click Run. The only exceptions are Actions you deliberately saved with auto-run for a site, and continuation re-runs you set up.

How is this different from Tampermonkey?

Robin is AI-native: it generates the script from the live page, iterates from errors, records journeys into cross-site automations, and can even call AI from inside a running script. A script manager only hosts code you already wrote.

What happens when my Robin AI credit runs out?

Top up with prepaid packs — $5, $10, $25, or $50. Usage is always prepaid, so there are no surprise bills.

Chrome and Firefox?

Yes — Chrome (plus Edge, Brave, and other Chromium browsers) via the side panel, and Firefox via the sidebar. Running generated scripts needs a one-time setup per browser — see how to enable script running.

Why do I see a “Script Access” banner?

Robin runs generated scripts through your browser's User Scripts API, which needs a one-time opt-in: the Allow User Scripts toggle on Chrome, or a permission prompt on Firefox. Until then, chat and page examination work, but scripts use a limited fallback runner.

What are the MCP integrations?

Robin speaks the Model Context Protocol. Connect Notion, GitHub, Linear, ClickUp, Sentry, Stripe, Hugging Face, Context7, DeepWiki, or Cloudflare Docs in one click — OAuth happens right in your browser — or add any custom hosted MCP server. Chat and generated scripts can then call those tools, like Robin.mcp.linear.create_issue(...), mid-automation.

Can Robin change how a website looks?

Yes — content, style, layout, behavior. Ask for “1999 mode”, reader mode, bigger fonts, hidden sidebars, anything. Save the restyle as an Action with auto-run and the site stays that way on every visit.

What about privacy?

BYOK keys are stored locally in extension storage and sent only to your chosen provider. Robin AI requests go through Robin's backend on paid plans; upstream keys never touch your browser. Full details: Privacy Policy.

Light the signal.

Every tedious tab is a distress call.
Robin is already listening.
