Keep web scraping working automatically when sites change

Uses AI to rewrite the code that pulls data from a webpage whenever the page's layout changes.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Any tool that pulls data from a website tends to break the moment that website redesigns its layout, leaving you with missing data. Fixing the extraction logic by hand every time is a constant, low-value chore.

Who it fits

Teams running data collection from websites who are tired of scrapers breaking every time a site updates.

How it works

  1. You point the automation at a webpage
  2. It captures the page's raw content
  3. AI reads the content and writes code to pull out the useful data
  4. That code runs safely to extract the data you need
What you get

Scrapers that keep running without a rebuild

Your data collection keeps working even after a website changes its layout, without anyone stepping in to fix it.

What you get

Structured data pulled from a webpage, even after its layout changes.

What you need

A ScrapeNinja account and a Google Gemini API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
