I visit our competitor's pricing page every week to see if they changed anything

CopperRiver checks it weekly and tells you if anything changed.

Every Monday you open your competitor's pricing page. You scroll through, compare it to your notes from last week, and check if anything changed. Most weeks, nothing has. But you still have to check, because the one week you don't, they might have dropped a price or added a feature that changes the competitive landscape.

This is what CopperRiver does.

CopperRiver is a desktop AI assistant that actually uses your computer — browsing websites, reading files, running tasks on a schedule. You describe what you need. It does it.

How it actually works

You open CopperRiver, describe what you need in plain English, and it gets to work. That's genuinely the whole setup.

Under the hood, CopperRiver runs as a desktop app with access to your browser, your files, and your terminal. When you give it a task, it breaks that task into steps — opening pages, reading content, clicking buttons, filling forms, pulling data, writing files — and executes them in sequence. You can watch it work in real time if you want to see exactly what it's doing, or you can minimize it and come back when it's finished. Either way, you get a summary of what it did and what it found.

There's no API to configure. No code to write. No workflow builder to learn. You don't need to know what's happening behind the scenes for it to work — but if something goes wrong, the step-by-step log makes it easy to see where and why.

Once you've run a task and it works the way you want, you can save it and schedule it to run on a timer — every morning, every Friday, whenever. The next time it runs, you don't have to do anything. It just runs. That's the loop: describe it once, watch it work, schedule it if you want it to repeat.

Who uses CopperRiver for tasks like this

The ops person with too many spreadsheets

Every Friday afternoon, they were manually pulling numbers from three different dashboards, pasting them into a master sheet, and formatting it before sending it to their manager. It took 45 minutes and they hated it. Now CopperRiver does it while they're in standup.

The researcher who started every morning with five browser tabs

Prices, competitor updates, industry news, a couple of forums — same sites, every day, looking for anything that changed. They weren't doing deep analysis, just triage. CopperRiver checks all of it and surfaces only what's new or worth reading.

The small business owner doing data entry that should have been automated years ago

Orders coming in through one system, inventory tracked in another, invoices generated in a third. They were the human glue between tools that didn't talk to each other. CopperRiver handles the transfers so they're not.

The developer who kept copy-pasting between tools

Not because they couldn't automate it — they could — but because it wasn't worth writing a script for something they did twice a week. CopperRiver is faster than writing the script and doesn't require maintaining it.

Frequently asked questions

Does CopperRiver work on Windows and Linux too, or just Mac?

CopperRiver currently runs on macOS. Windows support is in active development and is the next platform on the roadmap. Linux support is planned but further out — if that's important to you, it's worth signing up so we know there's demand.

What if the website changes its layout — will it still work?

CopperRiver understands pages semantically, not just by pixel position, so minor layout changes often don't break anything. If a site does a major redesign, a task might need a quick re-run to re-learn the new structure. It's more resilient than a traditional scraper or macro.

Can I schedule this to run automatically?

Yes. Once a task runs successfully, you can save it and set a schedule — daily, weekly, on a specific day and time. CopperRiver runs it in the background and logs the results. You only need to look at it if something changes or you want to review the output.

Is there a free plan I can try this with?

Yes, there's a free tier that lets you run tasks and get a feel for how it works before committing to anything. The free plan has some limits on how many tasks you can run per month, but it's enough to test your actual use case — not just a demo environment. No credit card required to start.
