Readit NewsIf you're trying to figure out how to track product visibility/rankings on ChatGPT without manually typing queries 50 times a day, check out this new tool: rtrvr ai!
The problem is that standard scrapers usually get blocked by OpenAI/Perplexity, and using the official API doesn’t give you the "Web Search" results (citations, sources, UI elements) that a real consumer sees.
You can get around this with rtrvr ai by turning your own Chrome Browser into an API endpoint.
We give a copy/pasteable MCP url that you can use with your favorite agent/chatbot/site and give those providers browser context and allow them to do browser actions.
So compared to Playwright MCP and others that require you to run npx and can only be connected to local clients, with ours you just paste a url and can use with any client.

I get it no one is using that, but like this just sounds like a rehash?

But if a website changes its UX and your recording no longer works then it will fail?
Working in the browser agent space myself, although you save on cost with these repeatable recordings the true disruption of browser agents is using one prompt on thousands of websites without having to worry about maintenance at all
As an aside, we are about to launch something like similar at rtrvr.ai but having AI Web Agents navigate pages, fill forms and retrieve data. We are able to get our costs down to negligible by doing headless, serverless browsers and our own grounds up DOM construction/actuation (so no FireCrawl costs). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIU3K4E8pyw
We actually created shortcut for the agent itself to go to AI Studio, create API key, and configure itself haha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6ywfLrG_W8
