About WorkBeaver
What is WorkBeaver?
A browser automation tool for repetitive computer work. You describe a task in plain English, review the steps it plans, then let it click through websites, fill forms, extract data and update spreadsheets. It runs as a Chrome extension with local-first data storage. WorkBeaver is an AI productivity tool that integrates into your existing workflows to automate repetitive tasks, organise information, and surface relevant context exactly when you need it.
WorkBeaver acts inside your browser with your logged-in sessions, so it can reach anything you can, including banking, payroll or government portals. Limit its use to low-risk tasks and check the terms of any site before automating it, because some portals such as myGov or bank websites restrict automated access. If a task touches customer records, your Privacy Act obligations still apply. Test on a small batch first and keep a person reviewing results before anything is submitted.

Data Residency & Privacy in Australia
WorkBeaver says saved automations, schedules, preferences and activity stay in your browser, and it offers local AI support for extra privacy. Cloud tasks still send instructions and page content to its servers and model providers. WorkBeaver does not publish where those servers are located or offer an Australian hosting option, so ask before automating pages that show customer or financial records.

Frequently Asked Questions About WorkBeaver
Is WorkBeaver free?
There is a free starter allowance of cloud credits that does not need a card. After that, WorkBeaver sells monthly credit plans and a one-off lifetime option. Each task uses credits as it runs, so estimate how often your automations will run before choosing a plan.
Can WorkBeaver log into government or banking websites?
It acts in your logged-in browser session, but many portals, including banking and government services, restrict automated access in their terms. Breaching those terms can lock your account. Keep WorkBeaver for low-risk sites and never hand automation tools the credentials for portals such as myGov.
What happens when a website changes?
Browser automations depend on page layouts, so a redesign can cause a task to fail or click the wrong element. Review results after website updates, keep a person checking outputs for important tasks, and rebuild the steps when a site changes significantly.
