Observed in small internal testsNot a benchmarkNo referral link
Best-fit use cases
Docs crawling
Documentation crawling for RAG or agent knowledge bases.
Site to markdown
Readable web content preparation for LLM pipelines.
Public pages
Early-stage agent products that need readable web data inputs.
Workflow fit
More compelling for LLM-ready data workflows than lowest-cost scraping claims.
