Reviewer scorecard
“Traditional web scraping is brittle. LLM-powered extraction that understands content structure is the right approach. Works on messy pages where CSS selectors fail.”
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“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.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Web scraping becomes web understanding. As more AI agents need to read the web, tools like Extractor become essential infrastructure.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
