These products provide headless browser runtimes, scraping APIs, and UI context capture tools designed to help software systems navigate the web and extract structured data. They are primarily used by AI engineers and developers building autonomous agents, workflow automations, and LLM data ingestion pipelines. Unlike traditional RPA or legacy web scrapers, this cluster focuses heavily on agent-driven navigation, natural language querying, and machine-readable data outputs.
