Start from a template, ship a working automation
Curated recipes for common jobs: watch-and-alert, change monitoring, data extraction, personal ops. Pick one, a guided wizard fills in the steps, and you run it on your own account.
Templates by job
Browse by what you are trying to do.
Acquire
Watch a page and act the instant availability changes: restocks, reservations, registrations.
Intel
Track and extract from pages you have the right to access: prices, listings, creatives.
Personal ops
Automate chores on your own accounts: sign-in, exports, account changes.
One click opens a guided wizard
Pick a template and the pieces arrive already wired: a Monitor watching the right selector, an Automation trigger, and a workflow with the right steps. You point it at your site, attach your own data, and review before it goes live. Nothing runs until you say so.
- 1Pick a template
Choose a recipe for the job you have in mind. A guided wizard opens with the pieces already wired.
- 2The wizard pre-fills the pieces
A Monitor watching the right selector, an Automation trigger, and a workflow with the right steps, all pre-loaded. You point it at your site and attach your own data.
- 3Review and launch
Review everything before it goes live. Nothing runs until you say so; then it is yours to run and reuse.
Watch-and-Act, ready out of the box
The acquire templates are the Watch-and-Act pattern, pre-built: a Monitor checks a page on an interval, the change becomes an Automation trigger, and the trigger fires a workflow the instant the condition is met, fast enough for restocks, new availability, and opening slots.
Honest on speed. Monitors check as often as every 10 seconds on the top cloud tiers, and detection-to-action is in seconds. See how Watch-and-Act works.
Action automations are safe by default
Templates that take an action run behind real guardrails, enforced end to end, on the backend and on the agent.
- ✓A dry-run mode that previews the action before anything happens.
- ✓A confirm-gate that holds the action for your approval over a threshold you set.
- ✓Idempotency so one detected event can never trigger the action twice.
- ✓A rolling rate limit so an automation can never run away.
- ✓A full audit log of every run, on your own authorized account.
From template to callable API
A template does not stop at an automation: the workflow it builds is callable as a REST endpoint at /v1/{slug}/{path} and as an MCP tool, so your software and your AI agents can run the same job on demand.
# Run the workflow your template built, as a REST endpoint
curl -X POST https://api.usewrit.app/v1/price-monitor/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer wt_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "product_url": "https://example.com/item/123", "max_price": 199.00 }' Run free on your machine, or on the cloud
Run a template on your own local agent with no compute charge and reach internal or VPN-only sites, or run it on the managed cloud fleet with nothing to install.
Local / BYO agent
- ✓No compute charge: runs on your own machine
- ✓Reaches intranet, localhost, and VPN-only sites
- ✓AI steps can use your own keys, unbilled by Writ
Managed cloud
- ✓Nothing to install: managed cloud fleet
- ✓Metered by actual running time (~$0.12 per browser-hour, from your plan’s included usage)
- ✓Higher concurrency on paid plans
Need something specific?
No template for your site? Record the workflow once, describe a goal and let AI build it, or discover it from the site's own network calls. Then it is yours to run and reuse.
Or install a ready-made one from the Marketplace
Templates are recipes you build; the Marketplace is recipes other people built and tested. Install one, attach your own data, and run it on your account.
