# Astarii > Astarii (astarii.ai) makes AI helpers, called Astarii (one is an Astari), that do online work for people and small businesses. An Astari opens websites, signs in, fills in forms, sends emails, updates spreadsheets and reports what it did. You describe the job in plain English, or show it once, and it can run on a schedule, in the cloud, with your computer off. ## What it does - Works in a real browser: reads pages, clicks, types, uploads files, signs in with saved logins. - Runs in the cloud (Astarii's own browser, so your laptop can be closed), in your own Chrome or Brave through the extension, or on your Windows PC through the desktop app. There is also an Android app. One account covers all of them. - Schedules: every weekday at 7:30, three times a day, every Friday. Task memory means a scheduled Astari never does the same item twice (never re-applies to a job, never re-emails a lead). - Pauses and asks you when a site texts a code or something needs a decision, then carries on from where it stopped. - Saved passwords are encrypted in your browser before they are stored and are never shown to the AI. - Connects to Gmail or Outlook, Google Sheets, Docs, Calendar and Drive to work inside those apps directly. - Teams: several Astarii can hand work to each other, with one chat for the whole team. - Can think with your own ChatGPT plan if you link it. ## Ready-made Astarii - Etsy Manager: talk to your Etsy shop. It reads orders and listings, answers questions about them and can update prices and descriptions. Every change to the live shop is proposed first and made only when you approve it. - Google Ads Manager: reads how your ads are doing, researches keywords in your account and drafts campaigns and ad copy. Everything it creates starts paused, so nothing spends until you turn it on. - Job Hunter: finds new postings that fit, tailors your résumé to each one, fills in the application and never applies to the same job twice. - X and Reddit growth: replies usefully to real conversations and posts in your voice within sensible limits. On Reddit it warms up a new account first. - Launch and directories: drafts a Product Hunt launch for your approval and lists your product on startup directories a couple a day. - Inbox and spreadsheets: "put this week's invoices in my sheet", "reply to anyone asking about pricing". ## Prices (US dollars, month to month) - Free trial: 3 runs of up to 15 minutes each. No card needed. It does not refill. - Pro: $29.99/month. 900 cloud minutes plus 800 browser minutes. Runs up to 45 minutes each. - Max: $49.99/month. 1,600 cloud minutes plus 2,000 browser minutes.
