Velaris vs Bardeen
Automation in your tab vs. agents that run on the server.
Bardeen lives in your browser, and that is its real advantage: it sees the page you are on and can act on sites that never shipped an API. Velaris works the other side of the wall — server-side LangGraph agents on real connectors, running while your laptop is shut, with approval tiers on anything that writes.
| Capability | Velaris | Bardeen |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Server-side; runs with your laptop closed | In the browser, on the page you're on |
| Sites with no API | Needs a connector | Reads the rendered page directly |
| How work is defined | Describe the outcome; the agent plans | Playbooks you record and configure |
| Credentials | Per-run scoped credentials | Your own live browser session |
| Long multi-step jobs | LangGraph agents across many tools | Playbook steps, browser-bound |
When Bardeen is the better choice
If the data only exists on a rendered page — a directory with no API, an internal tool behind a login, a view you can only reach while signed in — Bardeen reads it from your own session in a way a server-side agent cannot.
