  Retriever AI: AI Browser Agent, Web Scraper & Automation (RPA)
  
  Tired of endless clicking, copying, and pasting? Transform your browser into an intelligent, self-driving powerhouse.
  
  Meet Retriever, the advanced AI agent that lives in your browser. From simple data extraction to complex, multi-step workflows across dozens of tabs, we turn natural language commands into automated actions.
  
  🔑 Get Started for FREE: Bring Your Own Model/Key — Zero Extra Cost
  Already paying for ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro? Use your existing subscription to power Retriever.
  • OpenAI & Anthropic OAuth: Sign in with your ChatGPT or Claude account and use FREE.
  • Bring Your Own API Key: Drop in your OpenRouter, Kimi, or Gemini key and you're off.
  • Can even setup and run with locally hosted model
  
  📱 NEW: Control Retriever from WhatsApp
  Your browser agent, now one text message away.
  • Trigger workflows on the go: Message /schedule check competitor pricing daily or /trigger new Product Hunt launches right from WhatsApp.
  • Check results anywhere: /check_schedule_results summarizes results while your on the go.
  • Run shortcuts remotely: Save a task as shortcut and rerun from WhatsApp as a slash command.
  
  ⚡ Scheduled Monitoring & "While You Sleep" Automation
  Turn Retriever into a 24/7 monitoring machine. Schedule ANY workflow to run automatically — hourly, daily, or on a custom cron.
  • Set it and forget it: Track prices, inventory, competitor news, or social metrics without lifting a finger.
  • Auto-Sync to Sheets: Automatically append results to Google Sheets with timestamps for an instant live dashboard.
  • Bypass Blocks: Because Retriever uses your active browser session, it accesses protected data behind logins that other bots can't reach.
  • Manage everything at rtrvr.ai/cloud: See every execution, recording, schedule, and knowledge base in one dashboard — with one-click "re-run via API" snippets on every task.
  
  ✨ Unleash Unprecedented Capabilities
  • 🛠️ NEW: AI Subroutines: Teach Retriever a workflow once, and we'll intercept the underlying API calls and turn them into a deterministic, zero-token tool. Send an Instagram DM, post on X, fire a LinkedIn connection request — reusable across every future run with full web context. Global subroutines are shared across the community.
  • 🎙️ NEW: Voice Input: Hit the mic and dictate prompts or recordings. Powered by on-device Chrome transcription.
  • 📋 NEW: Accessibility Tree Clipping: MacCtrl+C copies the full Agent Accessibility Tree of the active tab — far richer than plain text grabbers. Paste into your own knowledge base, Obsidian, or any LLM chat.
  • 📚 Knowledge Base (RAG) & Memory: Don't just browse — remember. Index any open tab, or scrape + index URLs directly from the cloud dashboard, powered by Gemini File Search.
  
  Chat with your docs: Cited answers from your indexed research.
  Agent context: Let the agent reference your KB mid-workflow for smarter decisions.
  New MCP endpoints: List stores, query, and index directly from ChatGPT/Claude/Cursor.
  Learn more: https://www.rtrvr.ai/docs/knowledge-base
  
  💻 CLI & SDK Integration (Developer Mode)
  Control your local browser extension directly from your terminal.
  • One CLI, three modes: npm install -g @rtrvr-ai/cli, then rtrvr run or rtrvr scrape.
  • Smart routing: Automatically route tasks between our Cloud infrastructure and your Local Extension.
  • Authenticated automation: Run scripts that execute inside your logged-in browser session.
  
  🌐 Give ANY AI Chat Browser Superpowers (MCP)
  Copy your unique rtrvr.ai MCP endpoint into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or your own code. Instantly give them the power to control your browser, extract live data, query knowledge bases, list your tools & recordings, and perform complex automations. No local installation required.
  
  🎓 Teach rtrvr.ai a "Trick" (No-Code)
  Don't write code — just show us! Perform the task once (clicks, typing, navigation) and rtrvr records your actions, including the underlying network calls. Save it as a "Trick" and trigger it anytime from the extension, WhatsApp, MCP, or CLI.
  
  📊 Powerful Data Extraction & Crawling
  Scrape thousands of rows from any website, even with infinite scroll. Our DOM-based approach ensures precision where vision-based agents fail. Export to Google Sheets or structured JSON instantly.
  
  ☁️ Cloud Control & Remote Execution
  Design workflows in the dashboard and trigger them to run on your extension remotely. Start a complex research task from your phone, WhatsApp, or an API call.
  
  🔒 Coming Soon: Private Mode
  Zero data residency on $99/mo and above tiers — no logs, nothing stored, everything in memory. Built to meet compliance obligations. Reach out for verification or custom requirements.
