With Easy Bee software, users can easily navigate, extract and aggregate web content - even from pages that require form filling. This tool allows for the creation of customizable dashboards for easy access to the most up-to-date web data.
In addition to that, The Easy Bee also offers a feature that enables users to specify an area to extract from web pages, such as an image or a table. This allows users to focus on their interests and avoid irrelevant links and flashing advertisements. The extracted content can be aggregated on pages that users can effortlessly edit by resizing and moving excerpts. The pages, also known as dashboards, are always up-to-date and printer-friendly. Users can also annotate the dashboards before printing.
The graphical interface of The Easy Bee is designed in such a way that no technical knowledge is required to create a new web agent. It guides users through the process of recording a browsing sequence, specifying an area to cut out of the target page, indicating the refreshing schedule, and designing the layout of dashboard pages. The system automatically locks all agents that work on password-protected pages, preventing editing and hiding the gathered content. Users can unlock their password-protected content with a global password of their choice. Files related to private agents are encrypted on the user disk with standard algorithms provided by Windows systems to ensure data privacy.
Altercept has used a nice metaphor to simplify the underlying proprietary technology of The Easy Bee. They call their web agents "honeybees" that fly diligently and gather their Web harvest in "honeycombs" - or dashboards. Overall, The Easy Bee seems like a very promising software to handle repetitive web browsing tasks, with an attractive set of features and an easy-to-use interface.
