Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We’re Eric, Caleb, and Nick from Firecrawl, and today we’re launching FIRE-1 — an AI agent that brings intelligent interaction to web scraping.
FIRE-1 doesn’t just extract data — it takes action to get it. Clicks, logins, popups, dynamic content? FIRE-1 handles it all. It navigates websites like a real user to pull the data traditional scrapers miss.
Why FIRE-1?
AI-powered browser control: Click buttons, follow links, interact with modals.
Scrape complex sites: Go beyond static HTML and get the full picture.
Easy to use: Works seamlessly via API, SDK, or in Firecrawl flows.
FIRE-1 is now in open beta — with free usage credits to get you started. Try it in our Playground, check out the docs, and let us know what you think!

@ericciarla Congratulations on the launch, Eric, Caleb, and Nick! 🔥
FIRE-1 sounds incredibly powerful — especially the way it mimics real user interaction to access dynamic content. I’m quite new to scraping myself, but it's an area I’ve been really curious about lately, and this definitely caught my eye. Will be giving it a go soon — excited to explore what it can do!
@natalia_eiriz Thank you! Let us know what you think.
This is exciting — another step towards making the web more legible to LLMs.
It'd be super interesting to see FIRE-1 hooked up to @Strawberry for example...

@chrismessina I'm sure there are some cool things we could do together! @ericciarla we should connect
@chrismessina Thank you!!!
Can actually interact with a site not just grab HTML?
@steve_joe Yes! Interactions are supported :)

That's really cool! Makes a ton of sense for you guys to have an agent like this! Are you using vision models for navigation? Does it act based on coordinates or programmatically on a list of interactable elements? Do you have any speed benchmarks you can share?
I tried out the YC example in the dashboard but it got stuck on loading after the first action and ended up throwing an error without clear logs. How reliable is it currently and when do you expect to be out of beta?
Really exciting stuff, looking forward to see more!
@sebastian_thunman Thanks! It's still in beta but we are working on scaling it up.

This is fire (sorry..). Loving Firecrawl.
Is it able to access sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, using my login?

This tool sounds essential for data scientists! 👍
Hey @ericciarla and rest of the @Firecrawl team! Great product! I've been working as a scraping engineer for the past 7 years and I always root for scraping related tools! Could your product become an alternative of playwright or selenium, or I missed the scope of it?
This is great 🔥 I’ve actually been thinking about building a fashion-focused AI agent, and web scraping has been one of the biggest hurdles—especially with dynamic content and login flows. FIRE-1 sounds like exactly the kind of tool I’ve been needing. Definitely checking this out—huge congrats on the launch!
Super intriguing—dynamic scraping has always been a headache. How are you managing session persistence or CAPTCHA-heavy sites? Curious how deep FIRE-1 can really go before hitting blockers.
