Firecrawl, 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 Firecrawl 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.

What Firecrawl is
Firecrawl automates web crawling and data extraction, enabling organizations to gather content, index sites, and gain insights from online sources at scale
You paste in a key from your own Firecrawl account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Firecrawl whenever you like.

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

You stay the boss of your Firecrawl 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 Firecrawl 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 Firecrawl 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 Firecrawl 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.
