Starting point is 00:00:00 This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. What does your AI agent need to conquer the web, by bright data? AI agent, isn't just a buzzword, it's the future of AI. To truly live up to those expectations, these solutions must do more than just automate tasks, when you're lucky. They need to evolve and tackle tasks like only humans can, but without the errors and way faster. High voltage given that we spend most of our time online, AI agents must not only navigateth web but also dominated.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Crown read on to discover what your AI agent needs to truly own the web. No fluff, nointros. Let's dive straight into what it takes. Fire real-time general web data. If your AI agent wants to own the web, it needs real-time, high-quality data, note yesterday's leftovers. Meet that's where extracting live content from a wide, ever-changing internet becomes its first real weapon.
Starting point is 00:00:56 By tapping into publicly available data on web pages, your agent can find the freshest information out there. The game plan? Use a potent web scraping bot to grab raw content and transform it into structured formats, JSON, CSV, Markdown, perfectly optimized for LLMs, Tories and over. Brain but it doesn't stop there. Your agent also needs a smart crawling engine that discovers new pages at scale. Plus, it must be able to interact with webpages like a human, clicking, scrolling, filling out forms, etc. All that without getting flagged are stuck behind honeypot
Starting point is 00:01:31 traps. Honeypot prohibited this isn't just data collection. It's about making your webscraping process dynamic, resilient, and unstoppable in the wild.
