Your Roadmap to Solutions
When you are just starting with Octoparse AI, knowing exactly where to turn can save you hours of guesswork. Whether you need a quick tutorial, a creative brainstorming session with other users, or direct technical help, we’ve built a multi-layered support system to keep your automation journey moving forward.
Understanding each channel in detail
The Help Center: Your First Stop
The Help Center is our centralized knowledge base. You can find it by clicking the question mark icon (?) in the top-right corner of the Octoparse AI client. It is the quickest way to find:
Official Tutorials: Step-by-step guides for all core features.
FAQs: Solutions to the most common questions from our users.
Procedure Docs: Detailed technical breakdowns of every command.
Community Channels: Collaborative Learning
Sometimes, the best advice comes from someone who has solved the exact same problem you're facing. Our Community channels (join us in Discord!) are perfect for:
Workflow Discussions: Sharing logic ideas and picking up practical tips not covered in formal docs.
Case Studies: Seeing how other enthusiasts use Octoparse AI for real-world projects.
Brainstorming: Gathering diverse perspectives on unusual or complex use cases.
Live Support: Direct Human Assistance
For issues that require official intervention—such as account questions, specific software errors, or environment-related bugs—Live Support is your direct line to our team. Accessible via the chat widget on our website or within the help center, Live Support connects you with a human agent who can provide targeted guidance tailored to your specific setup.
Leveraging AI Copilot to accelerate development
Beyond troubleshooting, you can use the built-in AI Copilot to help create automation workflows. By describing your goal clearly, the AI can generate a draft workflow to help you validate ideas quickly and speed up your development process. Think of AI Copilot as a collaborative partner that can propose a starting point, which you can then refine with your domain knowledge and preferences.
How to Ask a "Perfect" Support Question
To get a helpful answer quickly, the quality of your description is key. Whether you are posting in Discord or chatting with our support team, structure your request with these six elements:
Objective: What are you trying to achieve? (e.g., "Sending messages to fans.")
Operation: What steps did you design? (Include a screenshot of your workflow.)
Environment: Your software version and operating system.
Issue: Be precise. Instead of saying "It's broken," say "Commad #3 shows an 'Element Not Found' error."
Frequency: Does it happen every time, or only once in a while?
Evidence: Attach error logs, screenshots, or a quick screen recording. Visuals are often the most decisive evidence.
Putting it into practice
When you encounter a hurdle, follow this simple workflow:
Search the Help Center for official guides.
Consult the Community for creative solutions.
Contact Live Support for technical or account-specific help.
Collaborate with AI Copilot to draft workflow ideas.
By leveraging these channels and providing clear, structured questions, you’ll resolve issues faster and build your automation with total confidence.

Mastering the full spectrum of support—from self-service to community engagement and official help—empowers you to overcome obstacles quickly. Coupled with clear, well-structured questions, you’ll resolve most issues faster and grow more confident in building and refining your automation workflows with Octoparse AI. Embrace the multi-channel approach, leverage AI Copilot for idea validation, and keep refining how you describe your problems—progress will follow.
