Run any Actor on demand
Email or text Carly which Actor to run and what inputs to use. She kicks off the run, waits for it to finish, and reports back.
Pipe scraped data into Sheets or your CRM
After a run finishes, Carly takes the dataset and pushes it into a Google Sheet, a Notion database, or your CRM as new contacts.
Schedule recurring scrapes by email
Tell Carly to run the same Actor every Monday morning and email you the results. She handles the cadence and the delivery.
Summarize results without opening Apify
Ask Carly for a summary of the latest run — record counts, key fields, anything that stands out. She queries the dataset and sends a digest.
Why teams want an AI assistant for Apify
Apify is the easiest way to scrape the web at scale — pre-built Actors for Google Maps, LinkedIn, Amazon, Instagram, and just about anywhere else, plus the option to write your own. The hard part is operating it day to day. You log into the console, find the right Actor, paste in inputs, start the run, wait for it to finish, then download the dataset and figure out what to do with it.
For a power user this takes ten minutes per run. For a non-technical teammate who needs scraped data once a week, it's a real friction point. AI tools for Apify should turn each run into a single message — what you want scraped, what you want to do with the results.
How Carly works with Apify
Carly connects to Apify with your API token. Once connected, you message her to run any Actor on your account. "Scrape the top 50 Google Maps results for plumbers in Boston." "Run the LinkedIn jobs Actor for marketing roles in NYC posted this week." Carly fires off the run with the right inputs and reports back when it's done.
When the run finishes, Carly pulls the dataset and does whatever you asked next — drop the results into a Google Sheet, summarize them in an email, push them into your CRM, or filter them down to the rows that matter. The actor runs and the downstream work happen in one continuous request.
Because Carly is connected to the rest of your stack, the scraped data doesn't sit in Apify waiting for you to act on it. It flows directly into Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, Slack — wherever it needs to go.
Who uses Carly with Apify
Sales and growth teams scraping prospect lists from Maps, LinkedIn, and directories. Researchers monitoring competitors, prices, or job postings. Marketers tracking SERPs, reviews, and social mentions. Operators who built a custom Actor and want their team to run it without learning the Apify console. Anyone who's been the bottleneck because they're the only one who knows how to push the start button.

Does Carly support custom Apify Actors?

How do I connect Apify to Carly?
Apify uses an API key. Generate a token in your Apify Console under Settings → Integrations, then paste it on Carly's integrations page at dashboard.carlyassistant.com/integrations. Once saved, Carly can run Actors and read datasets on your account.
Can Carly push scraped data into other tools?

Can Carly handle long-running Apify runs?
Yes. Some Actors take a few minutes to finish. Carly waits for the run to complete and emails you when the dataset is ready, so you don't have to keep checking.
