InfoSifter for Companies
InfoSifter is a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) software solution that is actively being developed by Artto Aunap. It is not a software that can be downloaded from anywhere, but is developed and applied to work on dedicated GNU/Linux servers, with the aim of helping customers avoid robotic/routine data processing works. The solution is implemented based on the needs and technical capabilities identified during the consultation session.
What can InfoSifter technically do?
Interact with websites through Chromium web browser - entering text into fields, clicking, downloading files - basically imitating how people interact with websites
Read information from websites and monitor any changes on them, such as prices, texts, etc.
Simulate mouse and keyboard use without human intervention
Work with files: copy, delete, convert, etc.
Filter and reformat data, e.g. collect important information from log files and create an excel file from it
Do mathematical calculations
Read information from files, e.g. csv, xlsx, txt, pdf, even some texts from images (OCR)
Interact with and help communicate data between various software/applications, automating data inputs/outputs (including API)
Build custom Telegram bots that monitor groups, detect imposters of moderators/admins, identify suspicious usernames or keywords, report incidents, remove messages, ban users or trigger other predefined actions
Use Linux Terminal based commands and applications
Open and close desktop applications
Add logos/watermarks on images
Take screenshots
Send out e-mails
Respond to incoming e-mails in pre-programmed ways
Create invoices
New feature: custom Telegram moderation bot
InfoSifter is now also integratable to Telegram as a moderation bot or group assistant: monitoring posts, detecting moderator/admin impersonators by Telegram user ID, scanning suspicious names and usernames, warning the group, notifying real moderators and optionally deleting messages or banning scam accounts according to agreed rules. If you would like to get that paid service for your Telegram group, reach out via Telegram to the InfoSifter creator Artto or advertising team leader Jay
Some real-world examples of automated processes with InfoSifter:
> > Find training courses in the selected field on various training websites, compile their list into an Excel file, then send the file to the customer via e-mail.
> > Find and extract information about the songs played, their times and durations from the log files of the radio station's music program, then find the song ID codes on the internet, collect everything into a single formatted Excel file, send that file to the customer.
> > Make an extract from the Statistics Estonia website about how much salary changes have changed in various industrial sectors in the last quarter, download the corresponding information as an Excel file from the website, add a calculation of the % change to that file and send the file to the customer.
> > Find among selected real estate advertisement websites all houses for sale in a selected area, filtering out only those that are directly from the owner and that do NOT contain the words "brokers, do not contact", compile these advertisement links into an Excel file and send it to the customer (broker).
> > > Monitor a Telegram community for fake moderator/admin accounts, suspicious usernames and unwanted keywords, then alert the real moderators or take predefined automatic action.

Therefore, the service cost is always individual and negotiable.
