Diffbot
Your customers share links, mention products, or reference articles. Your AI agent extracts structured data from those pages using Diffbot's machine vision, then responds with pricing, reviews, authorship, and specifications. Web data becomes conversational intelligence in real time.
From article metadata to product specs, Diffbot's AI-powered extraction APIs give your agent the ability to understand and structure any web page a customer references.

See how businesses leverage Diffbot's extraction capabilities through AI agents to deliver rich, data-driven answers that would otherwise require manual web research.
A sales prospect asks 'How does your pricing compare to Company X?' Your AI Agent takes the competitor's product page URL, calls Diffbot's Product API, extracts current pricing and feature specs, then presents a side-by-side comparison. The prospect gets an informed answer in seconds. Your sales team closes deals faster with real-time competitive data.
A customer shares a link to a news article about regulatory changes affecting your industry. Your AI Agent runs the URL through Diffbot's Article API, extracts the key points and publication date, and summarizes the impact on your product. The customer receives an informed response grounded in the actual article content, not a generic disclaimer.
A prospect mentions their company during a chat. Your AI Agent queries Diffbot's Knowledge Graph to find the company's industry, employee count, funding history, and key executives. The agent tailors the conversation to the prospect's company size and sector. Your sales reps join calls with enriched context they never had to research manually.

FAQs
The agent can extract structured data from articles, product pages, discussion forums, event listings, images, and videos. Diffbot's Analyze API auto-detects page type and routes to the right extractor. If the page doesn't match a specific type, the agent falls back to general content extraction.
The agent constructs a DQL (Diffbot Query Language) query based on the customer's question, searching across Diffbot's index of over 60 billion crawled web pages. Results include structured entities like company profiles, person records, and article data. The agent parses and presents relevant facts conversationally.
Diffbot's Product API uses machine vision to extract pricing, availability, specifications, and review data from most e-commerce sites without custom configuration. The agent passes the product page URL and receives structured JSON with the relevant fields. Accuracy is high because Diffbot uses visual understanding, not HTML scraping rules.
No. Extracted data is used in real time to generate the agent's response within that conversation. Tars does not maintain a separate cache of Diffbot extraction results. Each query is processed live against the current state of the web page.
The Analyze API auto-detects the content type of any URL and routes it to the appropriate extractor. Specific APIs like Article, Product, or Discussion let the agent target a known page type directly for faster, more precise extraction. The agent selects the right approach based on context.
Yes. The agent can start a Diffbot Bulk job with up to 1,000 URLs per request, specifying the extraction type and notification settings. Results are processed asynchronously. The agent can also list and stop running bulk jobs. This is useful for market research or competitive analysis at scale.
Traditional scrapers rely on CSS selectors or XPath rules that break when page layouts change. Diffbot uses computer vision and machine learning to understand page structure visually, extracting data accurately regardless of HTML layout. Your agent gets reliable, structured data without maintaining scraping rules.
Basic extraction APIs work with any Diffbot plan. The Knowledge Graph search and Crawl API features require a Plus plan or higher. Your Diffbot API token determines which features are accessible. Enter the token in Tars and the agent will use whichever capabilities your plan supports.
Don't limit your AI Agent to basic conversations. Watch how to configure and add powerful tools making your agent smarter and more functional.
