Notte Functions Build
Turn a one-off browser task into a deployed, reusable Notte Function. The expensive, non-deterministic part - an agent exploring a site to find where the data actually lives - happens once. The result is a parameterized Function with a stable Function ID that anyone can invoke over HTTP, run from the CLI/SDK, or schedule on a cron. Running 5,000 records later costs nothing extra in exploration.
This is the difference between asking an agent to "scrape Indeed" every time (pay exploration cost and eat non-determinism on every call) and building an indeed-jobs Function once, then calling it with {"keyword": "...", "location": "..."} forever.
Relationship to
notte-browser. This skill builds on the base CLI documented in the notte-browser skill. Load that skill for the full command reference, authentication handling, and security notes. This skill adds the explore-once -> generate -> self-test -> publish pipeline on top of it.
When to use this skill vs. notte-browser
- One-off public research or page reading -> use notte-research.
- One-off website interaction or authenticated task -> use
notte-browserdirectly. - Reusable artifact ("I'll run this across many inputs / on a schedule / from my backend") -> use this skill to build a Function.
- A built Function broke (site changed, returns empty) -> use notte-functions-doctor.
