Excited for the team to join Zyte in Texas for Extract Summit!

Reworkd (YC S23) has raised $2.75 million in seed funding to build AI agents to extract structured data from the public web. Today, organizations rely heavily on web scrapers to gather public web data for AI models. Traditional web scrapers are costly and need manual setup for each site. Founded by Asim Shrestha, Srijan Subedi, and Adam Watkins, Reworkd solves this by using AI agents to automate the process. Customers can provide a list of websites and specify the data they need, and Reworkd’s AI generates the necessary code to scrape the sites and organize the data efficiently. Web scrapers have faced controversy recently due to legal issues involving AI companies, which are accused of using data behind paywalls without permission. Reworkd addresses these concerns by focusing solely on publicly available information — ensuring they do not access content behind sign-in walls or other restricted areas. One use case for Reworkd is their work with Axis, a company that helps policy teams comply with government regulations. Axis uses Reworkd’s AI to extract data from thousands of government regulation documents for many countries across the European Union. Axis then trains and fine-tunes an AI model based on this data and offers it to clients as a product. Congrats to the team on the round! https://lnkd.in/gDij8cRB

Exciting news! We've successfully raised $2.75 million in our seed round, bringing our total investment to $4 million ?? We are thrilled to work with amazing investors like Paul Graham, Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, SV Angel, General Catalyst, Panache Ventures, and many more. While building and scaling #AgentGPT to 1M users, we discovered a recurring need among businesses: an AI agent capable of dynamically scraping hundreds of websites and returning data in a structured format based on a given schema. So, we listened and built a dedicated tool to do just that. With our platform, you can now upload a list of sites, specify the exact data you need, and let the platform handle the rest. From generating the scraping code and fixing it when the site structure changes to managing proxies and running the code on a set schedule, we take care of everything. This means you can focus on building your platform while we manage your data pipeline ?? If you or someone you know needs to extract web data from numerous sites on a regular basis, please feel free to DM me or email me at [email protected]. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gcPUZdjf. Shout out to the whole team Asim Shrestha, Adam Watkins, Rohan Pandey, Sean McGuire and Maxwell Zeff for the write-up!

Super excited to announce that we've raised $2.75 million in seed funding to accelerate our work on multi-modal web agents. This brings our total raised to over $4 million. Our LLM systems are live in production today with numerous companies building new web data constrained products. If you have any need for domain specific, highly structured web data, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Reworkd (YC S23) We're also super excited to get to work alongside amazing investors like Paul Graham himself, Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, SV Angel, General Catalyst, Panache Ventures and many more.

Flashy AI videos are everywhere. The real substance is elsewhere ?? ? There's no shortage of attention-grabbing AI videos. ? When it comes to real-world impact though, I'm more excited about AI in automation. ? You've probably heard of the many synonyms: Hyperautomation, Intelligent Automation, Cognitive Automation, Business Orchestration and Automation (BOAT??). ? We are starting to see some promising agentic AI examples and I want to highlight one example. Kudos to Asim Shresetha and the team at Reworkd (YC S23) for this excellent demo of AI being used as part of a data scraping use case. ? Every business has a need for data extraction from invoices, contracts, and other docs. Traditional RPA is highly useful for predictable automation but can fall apart quickly otherwise. ? This is where AI-powered scraping comes in: ? ?? Provide sources and schema - let the AI do the rest ?? Reacts to errors or other exceptions far better than RPA ?? Can be used to extend to use cases where RPA is unsuitable ? There is a lot of hype in AI. My bet is AI in automation for real, measurable improvements than text-to-video anytime soon. ? ????????: ? ?? AI videos are flashy, but real impact is in AI-driven automation. ?? AI agents rooted in automation are starting to get interesting. ? ----- ? ?? Follow for more AI content that spans best practices to business value. ? #Automation #rpa #businessautomation #hyperautomation #ai
