Q & A

What is Axiom.ai and how does it work?

Axiom.ai is a no-code browser automation tool that allows users to build custom bots for automating tasks within a browser. It simplifies automation by using templates where users configure steps to achieve specific goals, like cleaning up an email inbox.

What does the automation bot do in the demo?

In the demo, the bot automates the process of cleaning up an overflowing Gmail inbox. It searches for specific terms (like email addresses or keywords), selects the relevant emails, and deletes them automatically.

Do you need coding skills to use Axiom.ai?

No, Axiom.ai is a no-code tool. Users simply need to configure steps within templates, making it accessible even for those without coding experience.

What are the advantages of using a template in Axiom.ai?

Using a template in Axiom.ai simplifies the bot-building process. Templates come pre-configured with steps, which allows users to set up automation quickly by adjusting the parameters, like adding terms for search or deletion.

What is the purpose of adding 'weights' during the bot configuration?

Weights are added to allow sufficient time for tasks to complete before the bot moves on to the next step. For example, when deleting emails, the bot needs to wait for Gmail to process the deletion before proceeding with further actions.

How does Axiom.ai handle optional elements like buttons or emails?

Axiom.ai allows users to mark certain elements as 'optional.' For example, if a button or email doesn't appear (because there are no results), the bot will skip that step and continue running without failing.

What happens if the bot tries to click something that's not available?

If the bot encounters a step where an element like a button isn't found, and it’s marked as optional, the bot will skip the action and continue executing the next steps. This ensures the bot doesn’t fail mid-process.

Can the bot handle different quantities of emails to delete?

Yes, the bot is flexible and can handle varying numbers of emails. It adjusts depending on how many results are returned from the search, whether it's just a few or many emails.

What should you do if the bot doesn't seem to complete the operation?

If the bot doesn't seem to complete the task (like selecting or deleting emails), it’s often because the bot is finishing too early. In this case, you can extend the final weight to give Gmail more time to process the actions.

How can you customize the bot to clean specific emails?

You can customize the bot by entering specific terms, like email addresses or keywords, into the template. The bot will loop through these terms, searching and deleting matching emails based on the configuration you set.
