Webbots present a virtually untapped resource for software developers and business leaders. This is because the public has yet to realize that most of the Internet's potential lies outside the capability of the existing browser/website paradigm. For example, in today's world, people are satisfied with pointing a browser at a website and using whatever information or services they find there. With webbots, the focus of the Internet will shift from what's available on individual websites toward what people actually want to accomplish. To this end, webbots will use as many online resources as required to satisfy their individual needs.

To be successful with webbots, you need to stop thinking like other Internet users. Namely, you need to stop thinking about the Internet in terms of a browser viewing one website at a time. This will be difficult, because we've all become dependent on browsers. While you can do a wide variety of things with a browser, you also pay a price for that versatility—browsers need to be sufficiently generic to be useful in a wide variety of circumstances. As a result, browsers can do general things well, but they lack the ability to do specific things exceptionally well.^[6] Webbots, on the other hand, can be programmed for specific tasks and can perform those tasks with perfection. Additionally, webbots have the ability to automate anything you do online or notify you when something needs to be done.
