How I Built an AI Web Scraper That Understands Plain English

The Problem Every Developer Knows If you've ever built a web scraper, you know the drill: Inspect the page Find the right CSS selectors Write brittle code that breaks when the site changes Repeat forever I spent years doing this. Every time a website updated its layout, my scrapers would break. I'd spend hours fixing selectors just to have them break again next week. There had to be a better way. The "Aha" Moment What if instead of telling a scraper where data is on a page, you could tell it what you want? Instead of: price = soup . select_one ( ' .product-price .sale-value span ' ) What if you could just say: "Get me the product name, price, and customer rating" That's exactly what I built.
