AI Web Scraping

Olostep, 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 Olostep 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 Olostep is

Olostep provides APIs for web scraping, crawling, search, structured answers, monitoring, and data extraction.

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

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Olostep.

  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 Olostep. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Olostep 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.

What it can do in Olostep

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

  • Answer QuestionSynchronously research a bounded task by searching and browsing the web, then return the completed answer and sources when available. This usage-metered operation usually takes 3-3
  • Get Credit BalanceReturn the connected team's remaining Olostep credits, credit lots, active subscription, and whether usage is enabled without consuming web-processing credits.
  • Get Operation ResultRetrieve a stored scrape, search, map, answer, or crawl by its operation ID without repeating or rebilling the original work. Crawl results may still report inprogress.
  • List Crawl PagesReturn one page of URLs and retrieve IDs processed by an asynchronous crawl, with a continuation cursor for additional pages. Use Retrieve Content for page bodies.
  • Map WebsiteSynchronously discover and optionally rank URLs on a website, returning one response page and a continuation cursor. This usage-metered operation consumes Olostep credits.
  • Retrieve ContentRetrieve stored page content by retrieve ID in selected live-supported formats, including hosted URLs for oversized output.
  • Scrape PageSynchronously scrape one web page and return requested content, links, metadata, a retrieve ID, and billing usage. This usage-metered operation can consume credits even when cached
  • Search WebSynchronously search the web for relevant deduplicated links. This usage-metered operation costs 5 base credits per search; supplying scrapeformats also charges for scraping each r
  • Start CrawlStart an asynchronous, usage-metered website crawl and immediately return its crawl ID and initial status. This action does not poll: use Get Operation Result to monitor status and
Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Olostep 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.

Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Olostep 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 Olostep

Can an AI employee really work inside Olostep?
Yes. It signs in to your own Olostep 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 Olostep?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Olostep, 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 Olostep account?
You paste in a key from your own Olostep account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Olostep 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 Olostep?
It has 9 ready-made tools in Olostep today, among them Answer Question, Get Credit Balance and Get Operation Result. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use Olostep 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 Olostep 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 Olostep?
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 Olostep is written down with what it did and when.
