From connection to autonomous action in three steps
Connect
Connect your Apify account using an API token. Grant read access to specific datasets or all datasets in your workspace. The agent authenticates via Apify's REST API and indexes available dataset schemas.
Ask
Ask questions like 'What's the average delivery time from our logistics scraper?' or 'Show me new product listings competitors added this week' or 'How many 404 errors did the site monitor find today?'
Act
The agent retrieves records from your datasets, filters by date ranges or field values, calculates aggregates, exports filtered results to your data warehouse, triggers alerts when thresholds are crossed, and initiates downstream workflows based on scraped data patterns.

Read
The agent reads dataset records, field schemas, collection metadata, run statistics, item counts, and dataset update timestamps. It queries datasets using filters, pagination, and field selection to retrieve relevant subsets of your scraped data.
Write
The agent cannot write to Apify datasets directly but can trigger new actor runs, schedule scraping tasks, export dataset subsets to external systems, send alerts based on data conditions, and initiate data pipelines that consume your scraped results.
Monitor
The agent monitors dataset freshness, tracks record count changes, watches for schema drift, detects scraping failures or empty runs, alerts on data quality issues like missing fields, and flags anomalies in scraped metrics compared to historical baselines.
AI agents query scraped competitor prices, product availability, review counts, and market positioning from Apify datasets. They identify pricing opportunities and market gaps by comparing competitor data with your sales performance. Agents answer questions like "Which competitors changed pricing last week and how did it affect our conversion rates?" by correlating web data with business metrics.
