Short description: Basepilot is a designed to automate repetitive, browser-based tasks resource-intensive back-office tasks across various industries such as logistics, insurance, finance, and real estate [source]
Intended uses: What does the developer say it’s for? The platform uses agentic AI “employees” to handle workflows like data entry, form processing, invoicing, compliance tasks, and document processing, allowing human teams to focus on higher-value tasks that require more strategic input [source].
Date(s) deployed: April 2024 [source]

Legal name: Basepilot, Inc [source]
Entity type: Corporation [source]
Country (location of developer or first author’s first affiliation): Incorporation: Delaware, USA (BASEPILOT, INC (2895569)) [source]
Safety policies: What safety and/or responsibility policies are in place? Unknown
System components
Backend model: What model(s) are used to power the system? Unknown
Publicly available model specification: Is there formal documentation on the system’s intended uses and how it is designed to behave in them? None
Reasoning, planning, and memory implementation: How does the system ‘think’? Basepilot learns directly from user demonstrations within the browser. Users train it/construct their workflow by simply showing steps, allowing Basepilot to plan and execute based on observed actions [source] [source].
Observation space: What is the system able to observe while ‘thinking’? Operating as a Chrome extension, Basepilot observes and interacts within the browser tabs, enabling it to work across existing web tools without altering workflows. This observation space also lets users monitor each action in real-time [source]
Action space/tools: What direct actions can the system take? Basepilot’s action space is the browser environment itself, particularly focused on tasks performed through the Chrome extension. Within this space, Basepilot interacts with elements on web pages and applications, including filling out forms, clicking buttons, navigating pages, extracting data, and inputting information across platforms that the user already employs [source].
User interface: How do users interact with the system? Basepilot’s user interface is embedded directly in the Chrome extension, allowing users to interact with it from within their browser. Through this interface, users can teach Basepilot tasks by demonstrating actions directly on web pages. The UI likely includes simple controls for recording actions, monitoring task progress, and overseeing automated workflows in real time. Users can also interact with basepilot copilot via chat [source].
