Start from a template, ship a working automation

Curated recipes for common jobs: watch-and-alert, change monitoring, data extraction, personal ops. Pick one, a guided wizard fills in the steps, and you run it on your own account.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

how it works

One click opens a guided wizard

Pick a template and the pieces arrive already wired: a Monitor watching the right selector, an Automation trigger, and a workflow with the right steps. You point it at your site, attach your own data, and review before it goes live. Nothing runs until you say so.

watch-and-act

Watch-and-Act, ready out of the box

The acquire templates are the Watch-and-Act pattern, pre-built: a Monitor checks a page on an interval, the change becomes an Automation trigger, and the trigger fires a workflow the instant the condition is met, fast enough for restocks, new availability, and opening slots.

01MonitorA Monitor checks the page on an interval, as often as every 10 seconds on standard plans.
02TriggerThe detected change becomes an Automation trigger.
03WorkflowThe trigger fires your workflow the instant the condition is met.
04Approved action (optional)For acquire templates, an approved workflow runs the action behind guardrails you set.
{ }

Honest on speed. Monitors check as often as every 10 seconds on the top cloud tiers, and detection-to-action is in seconds. See how Watch-and-Act works.

safety first

Action automations are safe by default

Templates that take an action run behind real guardrails, enforced end to end, on the backend and on the agent.

Dry-runConfirm-gateIdempotencyRate limitAudit log
  • A dry-run mode that previews the action before anything happens.
  • A confirm-gate that holds the action for your approval over a threshold you set.
  • Idempotency so one detected event can never trigger the action twice.
  • A rolling rate limit so an automation can never run away.
  • A full audit log of every run, on your own authorized account.

callable

From template to callable API

A template does not stop at an automation: the workflow it builds is callable as a REST endpoint at /v1/{slug}/{path} and as an MCP tool, so your software and your AI agents can run the same job on demand.

run-template.sh
run-template.sh · cURL
# Run the workflow your template built, as a REST endpoint
curl -X POST https://api.usewrit.app/v1/price-monitor/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer wt_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "product_url": "https://example.com/item/123", "max_price": 199.00 }'

Also available as an MCP tool. See workflows and MCP.

run it your way

Run free on your machine, or on the cloud

Run a template on your own local agent with no compute charge and reach internal or VPN-only sites, or run it on the managed cloud fleet with nothing to install.

Local / BYO agent

  • No compute charge: runs on your own machine
  • Reaches intranet, localhost, and VPN-only sites
  • AI steps can use your own keys, unbilled by Writ

Managed cloud

  • Nothing to install: managed cloud fleet
  • Metered by actual running time (~$0.12 per browser-hour, from your plan’s included usage)
  • Higher concurrency on paid plans

No template for your site? Record the workflow once, describe a goal and let AI build it, or discover it from the site's own network calls. Then it is yours to run and reuse.

Templates FAQ

Is a template a finished automation?
No. A template is a starting point. A guided wizard fills in the steps with the right Monitor, trigger, and workflow, and you review everything before it launches.
Can I change the steps?
Yes. After setup, the workflow is yours: edit any step, add your own, and reuse it however you like.
Do action templates run automatically?
Only behind your guardrails: a dry-run preview, a confirm-gate over a threshold you set, a rolling rate limit, idempotency so one detected event can never trigger the action twice, and a full audit log, all on your own authorized account.
Can I run it for free?
Yes. On your own local agent there is no compute charge, and local runs do not use Writ cloud compute. Paid plans are for cloud execution, faster monitors, teams, managed AI, and fleet features.
Can I call it as an API?
Yes. Every template builds a workflow that is callable as a REST endpoint at /v1/{slug}/{path} and as an MCP tool, authenticated with your own wt_ keys.
