Description

Most of us have a list of URLs we need data from (government listings, local business info, pdf directories). Usually, that means hiring a freelancer or paying for an expensive, rigid SaaS.We built an AI Web Agent platform, rtrvr.ai to make "Vibe Scraping" a thing.How it works:1. Upload a Google Sheet with your URLs.2. Prompt: "Find the email, phone number, and their top 3 services."3. Watch the AI agents open 50+ browsers at once and fill your sheet in real-time.It’s powered by a multi-agent system that can take actions, upload files, and crawl through paginations.Web Agent technology built from the ground up:End to End Agent: we built a resilient agentic harness with 20+ specialized sub-agents that transforms a single prompt into a complete end-to-end workflow. Turn any prompt into an end to end workflow, and on any site changes the agent adapts.Dom Intelligence: we perfected a DOM-only web agent approach that represents any webpage as semantic trees guaranteeing zero hallucinations and leveraging the underlying semantic reasoning capabilities of LLMs.Native Chrome APIs: we built a Chrome Extension to control cloud browsers that runs in the same process as the browser to avoid the bot detection and failure rates of CDP. We further solved the hard problems of interacting with the Shadow DOM and other DOM edge cases.Cost: We engineered the cost down to $10/mo but you can bring your own Gemini key and proxies to use for nearly FREE. Compare that to the $200+/mo some other lead gen tools like Clay charge.Use the free browser extension for login walled sites like LinkedIn locally, or the cloud platform for scale on the public web.We are thinking it can be a great upstream tool to your CRM to generate lists and enrich data.Curious to hear if this would make your lead generation, scraping, or automation easier or is it missing the mark?
