What can an AI agent do with Apify?

Your AI agent can list and inspect Actors, trigger scraping runs with custom inputs, monitor run status, and retrieve structured results from datasets - enabling fully automated data extraction pipelines with the plan shown to you first.

Will the AI run Actors automatically without asking me?

No. Running Actors, creating datasets, and saving data are write actions that require your explicit approval before the agent proceeds. Every Apify action waits for your approval, reads included.

Which Apify Actors can my agent use?

Your agent has access to any Actor available in your Apify account - both your own private Actors and any public Actors from the Apify Store that you have permission to run.

How does my agent handle large datasets?

The get dataset items action supports pagination, so your agent can retrieve large result sets in chunks and process or summarize them incrementally rather than loading everything at once.
