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.”
“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.”
“Web scraping becomes web understanding. As more AI agents need to read the web, tools like Extractor become essential infrastructure.”
“Vendor lock-in concerns. Hard to migrate once you're committed.”
“The API design is thoughtful. Integrates well with existing stacks.”
