What can an AI agent do with Firecrawl?

A Firecrawl AI agent can scrape any public URL into clean markdown, crawl entire websites and return all page content, map site structures, run web searches with full-page results, and extract structured fields from pages using a schema or plain-language prompt. It can run these tasks on a schedule or on demand, making it ideal for research, competitive monitoring, and feeding data into RAG pipelines.

What kinds of websites can Firecrawl handle?

Firecrawl handles most public websites including JavaScript-heavy SPAs, paginated sites, and sites behind common bot protections. It returns content as clean markdown by default, stripping ads, navigation, and boilerplate so the AI gets only the useful text.

How is this different from a regular web search tool?

Search tools return snippets and links. Firecrawl returns the full content of each page - clean, structured, and ready for the AI to reason over. That makes it the right tool when you need complete information from a page, not just a preview.

Can my agent crawl an entire documentation site automatically?

Yes. You can point the crawler at a root URL and it will follow internal links up to a configurable depth and page limit, returning all discovered content. This is commonly used to build knowledge bases or seed a vector store for RAG.
