Apify

One of our top Affiliate Partners 💰, Nick Saraev, built a thriving automation agency using Apify for scraping & outreach. “I started an automation agency that specialized in scraping & outreach, where I used Apify all the time and recommended it highly.” He went from door-to-door sales to $90K/month by automating lead generation. Now, he helps others scale and has referred 250+ users (and counting!) to Apify. When a solution works, people stick with it! Curious how automation can help you grow?

I’ve been exploring the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and I find it really interesting 🤖. One of the things I appreciate about it is how it helps unify agent communication. By using a standardized protocol for AI systems to interact with various tools and data sources, MCP allows agents across different functions—such as customer service, sales, and technical support—to access and share the same information effortlessly. This enhances collaboration and ensures that everyone is aligned 🤝. One of the MCP integrations I’ve tried is Apify Actors, which helps AI assistants automate tasks in the browser, like scraping data, filling out forms, and navigating websites— all through a simple MCP interface 🌐. I’ve also explored Browserbase, which enables AI to control headless browsers. It’s great for automating tasks like web scraping, form automation, and navigating dynamic web pages—things that would typically require manual effort ⚙️. At Orca, we’re also experimenting with the possibilities of custom MCP servers . We’re excited about the potential to create smarter, more context-aware solutions for our clients 🚀. I’m curious to hear how others are using MCP in their work. How are you leveraging it in your projects? Let’s connect and share thoughts! 💬 #MCP #AI #Anthropic #Tinkering

Want to build an AI agent? This is where to start! 💡 We show you step-by-step how to create an AI agent - specifically, an Instagram analysis agent - using CrewAI and Apify and integrate it with LLMs and web scrapers. Learn how to configure tools, define prompts, make your agent public on the Apify platform, and monetize it. 🔗 Link in the comments.

💡 Good few people knew Apify, even more knew web scraping, but everybody knew MCP. Our Ondra Urban demonstrated all these things last week at AI Dev Tool Demo Night at AWS GenAI Loft in San Francisco - showing how to use Model Context Protocol (MCP) to tap into 4,000+ Apify Actors to empower your AI agents with data from the web. Followed by plenty of great conversations about RAG, MCP, and the legal side of scraping. Thanks to Jun Liang LEE, Alchemist Accelerator, Murray Newlands, Eric Liu for organizing, and everyone who stopped by to chat! 👋

Last Friday, together with Ondra Urban we spent the whole day running the Apify demo table at AI Dev 25 in SHACK15—our home base here in San Francisco. It was thrilling to be back in the trenches, showcasing how Apify and our web scraping Actors can supercharge AI agents for so many potential users and partners. Huge thanks to Andrew Ng and DeepLearning.AI for having us!
