Extracto vs Browse AI

Building a modern AI pipeline? Stop writing brittle scraper code.

🤖

The Ultimate Data Feed for LLMs

Extracto is an AI-native scraper, not just an HTML downloader. You do not need to parse DOM trees. Extracto semantically understands the page and natively exports directly to Markdown or structured JSON—creating the cleanest possible context window for downstream RAG applications and AI Agents.

Extraction Paradigm Semantic AI (Zero Code) No-Code Visual Builder

The Code Difference

Browse AI (Brittle Locators)
# SaaS Dashboard Only

1. Open Browser Extension
2. Click on elements to train the robot
3. Set up schedule

# Not a headless developer framework.
# Hard to integrate directly into complex Python codebases.
Extracto (Semantic AI)
from extracto import CrawlerEngine
import asyncio

async def main():
    engine = CrawlerEngine()
    data = await engine.run(
        "https://example.com",
        "Extract the core products"
    )
    print(data.to_json())

asyncio.run(main())
