Pluno automates web apps through their APIs instead of clicking, and asks for your OK first.
Grounded in available product and source data
Move one button on a page and most browser automation breaks overnight, because it was built to click that exact spot. Pluno takes a different approach, positioned as API-direct browser automation, not UI clicking, talking to web apps through their actual APIs instead of simulating a mouse.
The site frames the practical result as speed: 10x faster than click-based automation, since an API call skips the rendering and interaction steps a UI click depends on. Getting started is four steps — install the Chrome extension, open it on a web app as a widget or sidebar, describe a task in natural language, and Pluno executes through the app's API. Nothing runs unsupervised, though: the model is explicitly proposal-then-confirmation, framed on the site as 'Pluno proposes, you confirm. Nothing happens without your ok.'
Coverage spans 50,000+ tools, including named platforms like Gmail, Notion, Linear, Jira, HubSpot, Stripe, Shopify, and GitHub, with the site stating rapid onboarding for tools that aren't pre-supported yet, and the extension itself runs across Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and other Chromium-based browsers. Performance is backed by a specific, dated benchmark rather than a vague speed claim: a 92.2 task success score across 312 real-world tasks tested in 24 tools as of July 2026, which the site states outperforms competing solutions including GPT-5.6 and a Claude browser extension on the same measure.
On data handling, the site states no LLM training occurs on user data, sensitive data is stripped before LLM processing, and it lists GDPR compliance and SOC 2 Type II certification, with a single-click option to pause or remove access at any time. What the page reviewed doesn't show is a published pricing tier or figure — only a free trial via signup — so cost for ongoing or team use is worth confirming directly before committing to a workflow built around it.
It skips clicking entirely — Pluno communicates directly with a web app's own API, which the site states is 10x faster and avoids the fragility of automation that breaks whenever a page's layout or button positions change.
No — every action follows a propose-then-confirm model, so a task Pluno identifies still requires explicit approval before anything actually executes on a connected account.
Real tasks, per the site — 312 of them across 24 different tools, dated to July 2026 rather than an evergreen or undated claim, which makes it easier to judge whether the figure still reflects current performance.
The site states rapid onboarding is available for tools not yet in its 50,000+ tool roster, though the specifics of that onboarding process aren't detailed on the page reviewed.
Yes — a free trial is offered via signup, though no specific pricing tier names or figures are shown on the page reviewed, so cost for ongoing use is worth checking directly.

Hey makers! Here’s what Claude & other browser agents got wrong: They use software like humans. They wait for pages. They stare at screenshots. They click buttons. They get stuck in dropdowns. You’ve probably seen this - impressive for a demo, painful when you actually need work done. So we built Pluno. Pluno skips the UI entirely and talks directly to the APIs underneath your web apps. You tell it the outcome, and it gets the task done in the background. No clicks. No dropdowns. No babysitting. Just: Done ✅ You can use Pluno as a browser extension to update records, extract data, fill forms, run bulk actions, create dashboards, and handle annoying SaaS tasks that normally eat up your day. We benchmarked Pluno across 312 real-world tasks in 24 tools (incl. HubSpot, Notion, Stripe, Linear), and the results speak for themselves: 34% higher success rate than Claude’s browser extension, at ~14x the speed. Why we’ve built it? Because we loved the idea of Claude’s browser extension, but in reality it was way too slow to be useful. For founders, operators, and tiny teams doing the work of ten people: This one is for you 💜 What I’d love to know: Which browser task would you use to test Pluno’s limits? P.S.

4 source upvotesHi @chatabhishek - it can't bypass CAPTCHAs currently. But it will use your user session, so you can login once and then let Pluno handle the tasks inside. Which use case did you have in mind where you need the CAPTCHA bypass?
3 source upvotes@syed_ali319 Seems interesting, will it be able to bypass CAPTCHAs?
2 source upvotesBeen using it internally a lot for creating dashboards on @PostHog, debugging issues with my queries on @Retool, drafting @LinkedIn comments, and exporting data from @leadfeederapp. What's the most complex task in browser apps you're still doing manually today?
2 source upvotesKorbi here - Technical Co-Founder of Pluno. Here's why we've built Pluno, and what browser agents got wrong: Imagine an AI voice agent talking to another voice AI to schedule a barber appointment. Instead of a 3 second interaction of checking which appointments are available and picking one, they'll converse back and forth for 10 minutes. Same is happening for browser agents using the browser. They download the UI, make screenshots to see what's visible, and try to reason about clicking the right button. Instead, they should do what agents do best: Use code, and skip the UI. Pluno learns the API for each tool you use it on, and can talk directly to the API. It's like having a perfectly designed MCP server for every web app you use. Try it on the hardest task you can imagine, and let me know if you find one Pluno can't handle - I'll make sure to hook you up with some extra credits in exchange ;)
