What is Retriever AI?

Retriever AI, also written rtrvr, is an AI browser agent. A user describes the outcome they want in plain language, and the agent works across public websites and the sites the user is already signed into, then brings back the finished result, such as rows in a spreadsheet or a drafted message.

The company reports more than 35,000 users and over 7M tasks automated. It positions the product for builders, go-to-market teams and founders. Beyond the core agent, it also sells Rover, an AI customer engineer for software products, and Data & Evals, a data offering for AI labs.

How does Retriever AI work?

The agent starts from an instruction such as pulling every listing on a page into a sheet. In the Chrome extension it acts on the page the user has open, using the user's signed-in sessions, while the user continues working in other tabs. Results come back as sheets, messages or records.

For larger jobs, Cloud runs browsers on a schedule, and the site describes it as a thousand browsers working in parallel. The same agent is reachable through an API that returns structured data, through MCP for Claude, Codex or Slack, and through a CLI and SDK for scripts and pipelines.

Key features of Retriever AI

Core capabilities include data extraction and enrichment, form filling, web monitoring and lead research. Enrichment is priced per returned record, and the site says misses are free. Users can save a good run and replay it later through reusable workflows, which the site calls AI Subroutines and templates.

Paid plans add schedules, triggers and webhooks, cookie sync so Cloud can use sessions synced from Chrome, and API, MCP and WhatsApp access. Users can pick their model, including ChatGPT, Claude, an API key or a local model. Team and Scale plans add Private Mode with zero data retention.
