The Easy Bee
-
Version
3.1.4
Repetitive Web surfing wastes a lot of time to
individuals and companies. The Easy Bee aims to
provide an user-friendly solution to Web browsing
costs. Indeed the product lets the user quickly and
easily record web browsing macros. It then replays
them periodically and silently. Macros can include
user actions such as form filling and button clicking,
thus allowing the so-called invisible Web to be
reached and included in dashboard pages.
The product also allows the user to specify an area to
extract from target web pages such as an image or a
table, letting users focus on their interests without
being distracted by flashing advertisements and
irrelevant links. The Easy Bee aggregates these
extracts on pages that the user can easily edit by
resizing and moving excerpts. Aggregated pages may be
thought of as dashboards that always display up-to-
date information. Dashboards are printer-friendly and
can be annotated before being printed.
The graphical interface is designed to guide the user
through the creation of a new web agent in such a way
that no technical knowledge is required in order to
record a browsing sequence, specify an area to cut out
of the target page, indicate the refreshing schedule
and design the layout of dashboard pages.
The product automatically locks all agents that
operate on password-protected pages, hiding the
gathered content and preventing agent edition. A
global password chosen by the user is used to unlock
such private content. Files related to private agents
are encrypted on the user disk with standard
algorithms provided by Windows systems, preventing any
malicious user to access private data.
Altercept has chosen to hide the complexity of its
underlying proprietary technology with a nice
metaphor: honeybees -web agents- diligently fly and
gather their Web harvest in honeycombs -dashboards.
