What is Lightfeed?
Lightfeed is an AI-powered platform designed to streamline web data extraction, searching, and analysis. It leverages large language models (LLMs) to automate the process of gathering and interpreting data from a multitude of websites.
The platform provides a robust solution for handling dynamic and fragmented website data, offering up-to-date search results. Lightfeed enables users to create custom AI workflows, continuously track website changes, and receive alerts about new findings, ultimately assisting with lead generation, deep research, and data extraction tasks.

FAQs

Why Lightfeed uses LLM (large language model) to extract web data?
Lightfeed significantly outperformed state-of-art web extraction benchmarks by integrating LLMs. We leverage LLM for semantic reasoning, allowing it to extract complex information hidden in context - something traditional scraping methods can't achieve. Using LLM to extract websites is also highly robust, offering consistent results, without relying on hard-coded XPaths or CSS selectors that can break with site updates. -
How does Lightfeed extract and index websites?
Lightfeed runs the following steps every day for each website that a user added: Crawl with confidence. Lightfeed crawls websites using rotating proxies to avoid IP blocking. We also handle dynamic JS content, scrolling, caching, retry and more. Extract into structured data. Lightfeed uses LLM to transform the main content of the crawled webpage to any custom format user defined. The process is robust to site changes and can capture implicit information embedded in the context. Index into knowledge base. Lightfeed deduplicates the extracted results and indexes into user's personalized knowledge base. Users can also trigger workflows on any new data indexed for more complex automations (e.g. semantic search, AI agent enrichment, integrations). -
What LLMs is Lightfeed using?
Lightfeed uses a combination of GPT-4o mini, Llama 3.2 8B and a custom trained SLM. We focus on models that deliver strong performance at a lower running cost, so you can get more done for the same budget. -
