Archive.org, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Archive.org account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

An illustration of how the conversation reads, not a transcript from a client account.

What Archive.org is

Search and access Internet Archive content, inspect analytics, Wayback captures, IIIF images, and account tasks, and manage item files, metadata, derivation, and the connected user's reviews.

You paste in a key from your own Archive.org account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Archive.org whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Archive.org.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Archive.org. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Archive.org account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

26 tools it already has

What it can do in Archive.org

These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in Archive.org. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.

  • Advanced Search Archive.org ItemsSearch Archive.org metadata with exact Advanced Search page semantics. Use Search Archive.org Items instead when cursor-based deep paging is needed.

  • Check Identifier AvailabilityCheck whether an Archive.org item identifier is available before attempting to create an item.
  • Copy Item FileCopy one Archive.org file server-side to a named path in an existing destination item. This creates the destination file when absent and overwrites it when present while preserving
  • Delete Item FileSubmit asynchronous deletion of one named file from an Archive.org item through IA-S3. An accepted response does not verify file absence; read item metadata later to verify it. Thi

Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Archive.org account.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

How we handle your data
  • It signs in to your own Archive.org account. You are not moving anything into ours.
  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
  • Everything it does in Archive.org is written down, with what it did and when.
  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.

It works in Archive.org and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

Questions people ask about Archive.org

Can an AI employee really work inside Archive.org?
Yes. It signs in to your own Archive.org account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
Do I have to move anything out of Archive.org?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Archive.org, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my Archive.org account?
You paste in a key from your own Archive.org account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Archive.org whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in Archive.org?
It has 26 ready-made tools in Archive.org today, among them Advanced Search Archive.org Items, Check Archive.org Upload Limit and Check Identifier Availability. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use Archive.org and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in Archive.org and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
Who decides what it is allowed to do in Archive.org?
You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in Archive.org is written down with what it did and when.
