Bardeen, founded in 2020, lives inside the browser as an extension rather than a separate web app, automating tasks across whatever web tools a user already has open, pulling data from a CRM into a spreadsheet, or triggering a Slack message from a form submission, without switching between separate automation platform tabs to configure it.
Pre-built "playbooks" cover common cross-app tasks out of the box, and a natural-language trigger, describing what should happen in plain English, generates a working automation without manually wiring together each step. That browser-native approach fits people whose work already happens across several web tabs and wants automation triggered from wherever they're already working.
There's a genuinely free tier for individual use, with paid plans for teams needing more runs and shared playbooks. For someone whose automation needs center on connecting the web apps they use daily without leaving the browser to configure a separate platform, Bardeen's extension-based approach removes a context switch other automation tools require.
