1. What does One-time activation credits mean? Is that how many chrome browsers we can install this on? Something else?
2. Can we have this running on multiple different chrome profiles on the same computer at the same time? For example if I have 10 different logged in chrome profiles, could this be interacting with LinkedIn comments/posts for 10 different LI profiles that are each on their own chrome profile simultaneously?

A: 1. Retriever works on a credit based system to deduct llm inference costs, dataset enrichment costs, cloud browser hosting costs and proxy costs. With the AppSumo deal you get an initial grant to leverage and then monthly.
2. Yes exactly! Can even trigger all of the profiles simultaneously from our cloud dashboard. Quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSNSqXM9xCU
so what worries me here is the browser extension and linkedin - as many know using an extension to scrape linkedin info is against their TOS, so if a person is logged in and the extenstion is used that will defo ban a person's account eventually.
Been there done that and been banned, so how you have automations like this when they can not be safe?

A: We have been demoing LinkedIn automation with this extension for over a year now, with zero detection or banning. The way we do the agent automation doesn't use commonly used permissions like CDP that get detected and has advanced context to do LinkedIn tasks one tab at a time.
I would make the analogy that this is like using Comet or Atlas browsers to do tasks for you. This is a general...
A question about my use case. I want to contact senior directors for international companies in Spain - I would like to get their lnkedin profile, email address and any bio info about them - can this be done with your tool and how many credits might I need to do this per month, let's say I want to limit it to 100 contacts per month

A: Thanks Richard!
Its 0.25 credits per successfully enriched record, so 100 enriched records would be 25 credits.
ok great so in the scenario above I can put something in like "find me all the senior directors who work in Spain in HR companies. Provide me with their linkedin in profile, bio and email" - where would it get that info from - the website or linkedin in as to be honest I don't want anythign hitting linkedin - if I have their urls I can click thru myself - and is this cloud based?
Proxy Bandwidth: Network cost for Cloud requests Rate(500 credits per GB): $5/GB Typical Page (2 MB) : 0.1 credits Can bring your own proxy to reduce cost
We have both 1 time credits as well as as monthly. Is it safe to assume that the platform automatically uses the monthly credits first and then it switches over to the one-time allotment?
Q: Can Retriver download videos/images and save them?
I'm looking to create a workflow that downloads a video, takes the video to another platform, and analyzes the content (using an LLM). I only say download because some platforms, depending on how the LLM is configured, don't allow LLMs to "see" unless the content is downloaded.

A: Yes, the agent can seemlessly handle this task.

Verified purchaser
The agent has web search and linkedin dataset enrichment tools that skip opening the linkedin tabs in your browser.
We have a cloud option at rtrvr.ai/cloud that you can use as well.
Great and cost do using that with cloud. Just try to figure out what tier I need
Verified purchaser
We have cost breakdown at: https://www.rtrvr.ai/pricing
Cloud Browser Time: Server cost for headless browsers
Browser Hour (~60 credits/hour): $0.60/hour
Typical Task (1 browser, 30-90 seconds): ~0.5-1.5 credits
Proxy Bandwidth: Network cost for Cloud requests
Rate(500 credits per GB): $5/GB
Typical Page (2 MB) : 0.1 credits
Can bring your own proxy to reduce cost
Cool. I’ll give it a go and see how it goes
Q: How are credits used?
We have both 1 time credits as well as as monthly. Is it safe to assume that the platform automatically uses the monthly credits first and then it switches over to the one-time allotment?
