No-code AI web scraping that builds, runs, and repairs its own bots
State the fields you need in natural language and the AI agent selects an extraction approach and returns a tested, reusable Bot.
Residential proxies, browser stealth with consistent device fingerprints, and automatic handling of dynamic pages are built in.
Common challenges such as reCAPTCHA, Turnstile and DataDome are solved automatically so runs complete unattended.
When a site is redesigned, the Bot re-locates the requested data on its own instead of breaking the pipeline.

No-code automation for sales prospecting and data extraction
A large library of prebuilt automations for LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Instagram, X/Twitter, Facebook, Google Maps, websites and more.
Chain multiple Phantoms together so the output of one step becomes the input of the next, building end-to-end pipelines without code.
Runs on managed cloud browsers, so jobs continue 24/7 without keeping a local machine switched on.
Send results to Google Sheets, CSV, webhooks, Zapier, Make, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce and other tools.
