Built a Natural Language Web Scraper — AI That Controls a Real Browser

What if you could scrape any website by just describing what you want?

I built an AI-powered web scraper that understands natural language commands. No CSS selectors, no XPath, no regex. Just tell it what data you need, and it handles the rest.

How It Works

  1. Describe your data — "Get all product names and prices from this page"
  2. AI plans the extraction — An LLM figures out the best strategy
  3. Real browser automation — Uses Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to navigate and extract data
  4. Structured output — Clean JSON or CSV, ready to use

Why I Built This

Traditional web scraping is tedious. Every site has a different structure, and the moment the HTML changes, your carefully crafted selectors break. This tool treats scraping as a reasoning problem — the AI understands what you want and adapts to the page's actual content dynamically.

Key Features

  • 🧠 Natural language interface — "Find all job listings with salaries over $100k"
  • 🌐 Real browser engine — Handles JavaScript-rendered content, SPAs, login walls
  • 💰 Affordable — From just $5 for 100 records
  • 🚀 Self-serve — Try it instantly at the link below
