A text-grid web renderer for AI agents — see the web without screenshots

50
/ 100
Established

This project helps AI agents interact with websites by converting them into structured text grids. Instead of expensive screenshots, it takes a web page (including dynamic content) and outputs a compact, readable text representation with clickable elements clearly labeled. It's designed for developers building AI agents that need to browse and perform actions on the web.

Available on npm.

Use this if you are building an AI agent or automation that needs to navigate and interact with websites efficiently, without relying on visual analysis or complex HTML parsing.

Not ideal if your primary need is a pixel-perfect visual rendering of a webpage or if your AI agent primarily processes visual information.
