AI Mode switches Spidra from selector-based scraping to intelligent browser automation. Instead of relying on CSS selectors that break when websites update their layouts, AI Mode understands page structure and adapts on the fly.

​
How It Works

Standard Mode uses exact CSS selectors: 
{
  "urls": [{
    "url": "https://example.com/products",
    "actions": [
      {"type": "click", "selector": "#accept-cookies-btn"},
      {"type": "click", "selector": "button.load-more-products"},
      {"type": "type", "selector": "#search-input", "value": "laptop"}
    ]
  }],
  "prompt": "Extract all product names and prices",
  "output": "json"
}
If the website changes that button’s ID or class name, your scrape fails. AI Mode understands intent. You can still use selectors, but it also accepts natural language descriptions: 
{
  "urls": [{
    "url": "https://example.com/products",
    "actions": [
      {"type": "click", "selector": "Accept cookies button"},
      {"type": "click", "selector": "Load more button"},
      {"type": "type", "selector": "Search input field", "value": "laptop"}
    ]
  }],
  "prompt": "Extract all product names and prices",
  "output": "json",
  "aiMode": true
}
The AI finds the right elements regardless of their ID, class name, or position on the page.
