Agreed, the meaning of .ai domains isn't set by us. Formally, .ai is a country domain. However, it's broader meaning is cultural - again, not set by us. By popular usage .ai has become like .io, used informally as a startup domain

This is the most common thing to cause alarm; Google's permissions are a little awkward. We are not reading all your files - we are only reading/writing to the google sheets input as a link to our bot. We're looking now at tu

In private beta, a lot of users were using axiom to automate their likes and follows, to build up an audience on Instagram. They were doing this work manually in any case. We would not want this to be done at scale, in a cloud, like a nefar

We're a startup from SAP.io's accelerator program, so quite a separate entity. We received funding/mentorship from SAP via Techstars, but don't integrate with their RPA (right now at least...). SAP's RPA is more foc

On a public forum the question was open to anyone - thanks for sharing your thoughts! There does seem to be a strong argument to introduce a cheaper tier for consumer use-cases.
247.
by yaseer 6y ago
Very good point. There is now.

by yaseer 6y ago
There is the scope, and we do have much bigger plans. However, we have gone with the simplest iteration for MVP

by yaseer 6y ago
Cool, by way of a quick survey on HN, how much would you pay in a cheaper tier?
250.
by yaseer 6y ago
Yes, that's exactly right - we would see the URLs, the names of fields (from the DOM), and success states. Just not the data itself. It's basically what would be stored in a web-scraping or automated testing script.
251.
by yaseer 6y ago
Thanks for coming to our defence! In all honesty though, it's this kind of overly intellectualised, pedantic debate that makes HN what it is, and why we all love it. I would be disappointed if a Show HN didn't have at least one!
252.
by yaseer 6y ago
Yep, of course. That's right; Right now, we don't store credentials. The cookie from your local machine when logged in is passed to axiom locally, and never sent to us. We store the code for your script on our servers. This is nec

That's pretty much what we said, along with 'we make no ai claims'. The HN community is not known for "laughing and moving on" - but that's what makes the community great. It's filled with pedantic, over-i

Good questions! This currently runs only on your local machine. We do have a cloud version coming soon, but running your bots this way will be optional. Yes, the code only is stored, not the data it processes. We could encrypt them so we ca

Hey, thanks! Yeah, so pricing is opaque because in all honestly, we're still figuring things out. We're unlikely to lift pricing and annoy users. If anything, we're extending the free trial for most users, and may introduce a

That's pretty much how we see it. It's what .ai has become. .ai is a country-code, not an officially designated domain for artificial intelligence.

Thanks for the insights!

Yes, 100%. All bots run on your local machine, we only store the code for execution, not the data it processes. We've taken steps to be classified as a GDPR-compliant data-processor. We use your browsers local storage for many operatio

Right now it's actually entirely on-premise, as bots run only on your local machine - we don't process data. Open-source is something we'd definitely consider - there are many hard technical problems with browser automation t

Yes, we definitely want to eliminate the electron app. I agree they are bloated and annoying. The first route for this is running your bots in the cloud, although that will mean we have to process your data (something we don't currentl

Well, the decision process to decide our domain went like this: 'axiom.pm is available and axiom.ai is available. axiom.ai sounds better'. Our users have voiced their concerns about many things (primarily data privacy), but to dat

It was a convenient domain name with alliteration - we make no AI claims in any of our marketing.

So, most sales use cases are for moving data into or out of a CRM, where the APIs are awkward or don't exist (e.g. LinkedIn -> HubSpot, SalesForce -> Sales Loft). In your case, you could create a template for your emails and hang

Thanks! Right now axiom isn't great for QA as we don't have conditional logic, but that inevitable feature will make QA pretty easy. It's not good for scraping large-scale data-sets, but is good for data extraction from very

Great, thanks! If you get stuck, e-mail ai@axiom.ai and well see if we can help. It sounds like this is a possible use-case, but it depends on the scale at which you want to scrape. Axiom is good at pulling out data from complex workflows w
