Extractor uses LLMs to reliably extract structured data from any webpage. Unlike traditional scrapers that break when HTML changes, Extractor understands the content semantically.
Reviewer scorecard
“Real-time reactivity without WebSocket boilerplate. Server functions co-located with schema definition is elegant.”
“Traditional web scraping is brittle. LLM-powered extraction that understands content structure is the right approach. Works on messy pages where CSS selectors fail.”
“The DX is genuinely excellent. If your app needs real-time, Convex eliminates an enormous amount of complexity.”
“The LLM cost per extraction makes it expensive at scale. But for high-value data extraction where accuracy matters more than cost, it is worth it.”
“Reactive backends that push data to clients will become the default. Convex is building that future now.”
“Web scraping becomes web understanding. As more AI agents need to read the web, tools like Extractor become essential infrastructure.”
