Bardeen is an AI-driven workflow automation platform that runs as a Chrome extension, enabling users to automate repetitive tasks across web applications without writing code. It connects with popular tools like LinkedIn, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, and Notion to build powerful multi-step automations called 'playbooks.' Users can scrape web data, enrich leads, automate outreach sequences, and sync information between apps using natural language commands or pre-built templates. Bardeen's AI Agent, called Magic Box, lets users describe their desired workflow in plain English and generates the automation instantly. It is particularly popular among sales development reps, recruiters, and growth marketers who need to streamline prospecting, data entry, and lead qualification. Its key differentiator is running automations locally in the browser, reducing dependency on cloud-based servers and enabling interaction with any website.
