rtrvr.ai – AI Web Agent for Automating Workflows and Data Extraction
Hey HN, I'm excited to share rtrvr.ai, a Chrome extension that brings the power of AI agents to your everyday web browsing. It's designed to automate complex web tasks, extract structured data from any website, and integrate with your favorite tools as you browse using AI Function Calling [ie: “Send this page summary as Slack message”]. The core idea is to let anyone, even non-developers, leverage the power of web automation and data extraction using natural language. Imagine being able to: Automate lead generation: Extract hundreds of LinkedIn profiles to Google Sheets, complete with…

Hey HN, I'm excited to share rtrvr.ai, a Chrome extension that brings the power of AI agents to your everyday web browsing. It's designed to automate complex web tasks, extract structured data from any website, and integrate with your favorite tools as you browse using AI Function Calling [ie: “Send this page summary as Slack message”]. The core idea is to let anyone, even non-developers, leverage the power of web automation and data extraction using natural language. Imagine being able to: Automate lead generation: Extract hundreds of LinkedIn profiles to Google Sheets, complete with AI-generated, personalized intro emails. Process PDFs in bulk: Pull data like revenue, expenses, and totals from hundreds of local or online PDFs directly into your spreadsheets. Navigate and extract from paginated lists: Tell rtrvr.ai, "For each YC Partner, go to their LinkedIn profile and retrieve their name, headline, job, and college," and it'll do it. Automate workflows across multiple tabs: For example, fill out job applications on Careers tab using information from the LinkedIn tab. Function Calling: Integrate with APIs like Snowflake and Slack directly from your prompts using simple @ notation or letting the AI infer what tool to use with natural language. GraphBot: Generate charts and visualizations from website data with natural language commands. Recordings: Ground the agent with site interactions recordings to ensure accurate and repeatable task execution. Sheet Context: Use Google Sheets data as context for your web tasks. Scheduling: Run automations on a schedule in the background. Sheets Workflow: You can feed a Google Sheet with a column of URLs (like LinkedIn profiles), and it will open each url as a tab, extract data, and even generate content (like intro emails) back into the sheet. It can handle multi-step workflows with prior output dependencies, effectively representing a DAG. I see rtrvr.ai as a step towards a more intelligent and interactive web. I believe this tool can be a game-changer for marketers, sales professionals, SMBs, and anyone who needs to extract information from the web efficiently. Would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and any use cases you can think of! Website: rtrvr.ai Chrome Store Listing: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rtrvrai/jldogdgepmc...

- VSVibe scrape with AI Web Agents, prompt => get data [video]Jan 2026 · youtube.com · ▲6
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…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
