What is RAG and Website Crawling?

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a combination of large language models (LLMs) and a dynamic knowledge base. It helps your AI provide users with relevant information that it retrieves directly from your website. Don’t add actual information to AI’s knowledge base manually. Instead, let the crawler pull it from your product pages, FAQs, blog posts, and support docs.

Automated Crawling Process

Several steps help our AI website indexing system ensure data quality:

Discovery

The crawler scans provided URLs, follows internal links, and maps your site’s structure. It respects robots.txt rules and avoids disallowed paths.

Content Extraction

It collects text, images, documents, and metadata, as well as detects duplicates and consolidates them to avoid redundancy.

Data Cleaning

RAG “cleans” the data, removing all the noise, including ads, navigation elements, etc.

Structuring and Filtering

Data is structured, and then RAG filters it to prioritize accurate, useful information.

Integration

Data is seamlessly integrated into your AI ecosystem, and the knowledge base is created for customer support or documentation.

How to Get Your Crawler Running

Enter your domain or list of URLs and configure the depth of crawling and filters.

Configure the crawler to your needs. Choose whether you want a one-time crawl or a scheduled crawl, and set filetype and language-based content filters.

Monitor the progress with a real-time dashboard and export data for reports if needed

FAQ

What is a Business Website Crawler?

A business website crawler (or business website scraper) is a special tool that scans the pages of your website, collects the content, and transforms it into a structured knowledge base. It’s a foundation for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems and AI agents.

What is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)?

This is the system that enables AI to pull real information from your website or other external sources. This way, AI agents don’t rely solely on pre-trained data and provide more accurate and business-specific answers, eliminating the risk that AI starts making things up.

What types of content can the crawler extract?

Our crawler can extract text from webpages and blogs, images, documents in different formats, and metadata.

Is my website content safe?

Absolutely. Our crawler complies with robot.txt, and you can also set permissions allowing or disallowing it to crawl specific content. Additionally, all data is processed securely, according to regulations like GDPR.

Will the crawler slow down or crash my website?

No, it’s designed to be lightweight and non-intrusive. We implement rate limiting and load-aware crawling to ensure its work won’t affect your website performance.

How often does the crawler run?

It’s up to you. You can run a one-time crawl or set the schedule for the crawler for periodic crawls.

Can I customize what the crawler captures?

Yes, you can set filters by language or types of files, include and exclude pages, and choose the depth of crawling.

How do I track the crawl or see results?

There’s a real-time dashboard in the admin panel that allows you to check the performance of the crawler, track changes, see what was indexed, and export data.
