AI Studio Quick Start Guide

AI Studio is a suite of AI-powered tools designed to simplify the process of finding and collecting ready-to-use web data through natural language prompts. With AI Studio, you can seamlessly connect data to AI models or real-time applications, eliminating the complexity of web scraping and allowing businesses to focus on strategic goals. Instead of writing scripts or dealing with HTML structures, you just describe what you need in plain English — no scraping expertise required.

The AI-powered applications can be applied to a wide range of use cases. For example, you can monitor competitor prices, extract required product information, find the best flight or event ticket deals, map API endpoints and developer resources, and much more.
