Extractor vs Continue

“Schema-driven extraction with LLM fallback is exactly right. Traditional scrapers break on every site redesign — Extractor adapts because it understands the content semantically. The TypeScript-first approach with strong typing on outputs is chef's kiss for building data pipelines.”

“Open-source Copilot alternative that works with any model. Connect Ollama for fully local AI coding assistance.”

“LLM extraction costs add up fast at scale. But for the use cases where you need it — scraping sites with unpredictable layouts, extracting from pages that change frequently — the reliability improvement over CSS selectors easily justifies the token spend.”

“Use your own models, keep your code private, and customize everything. The open-source approach to AI coding.”

“I have been using this to pull structured data from competitor landing pages and product directories. The schema definition is intuitive and the extraction quality is surprisingly consistent even across wildly different page designs.”

“Open-source AI code assistants with model flexibility will capture users who want privacy and control.”
