Amazing to see what Shubham K. has built with CyberAGI and Excalibur. You are bringing a fresh vision to the security ecosystem!
Thank you for being one of the earliest adopters of Crawl4AI. It’s always great to see the community take the tooling in powerful new directions.
Wishing you and the CyberAGI team the best as you continue shaping the future of enterprise security.
Great artists have brushes. Great athletes have Nikes. The modern Security Engineer deserves Excalibur.
To the engineers, the architects, and the late-night defenders:
We see you.
You are the guardians of the modern enterprise. But right now, the guardian is overloaded. You are drowning in a sea of red alerts, disconnected tools , and manual threat models that take weeks. You are spending your brilliance on drudgery instead of strategy.
We believe you deserve better. We believe technology should serve the human, not burden them.
Introducing #Excalibur by CyberAGI.
We didn't build this to replace you. We built this to unleash you.
Think of Excalibur as the Apple of the Enterprise Security ecosystem: A platform built with an obsession for privacy, beauty, and seamless execution.
We have created two private, AI-native teammates that live in your ecosystem to handle the heavy lifting:
🛡️ For the Defender: Your new Defensive teammate connects to your SOC and alerts. It filters the noise, correlates the threat intel, and handles the "busy work" of response playbooks. It creates the silence you need to make the critical decisions.
⚔️ For the Breaker: Your new Offensive teammate handles the recon. It automates the penetration tests and turns 2-week threat models into 20-minute briefs. It finds the cracks so you can engineer the fix.
Why this is different:
Like the tools you love, Excalibur is Private by Design. It runs locally. It learns from your data, on your network, without ever sending a byte to the public cloud.
The Vision:
We are building an ecosystem as vast as Microsoft’s, but with the determination and user-centric soul of Apple. Today, we empower the Security Engineer. Tomorrow, we will bring this same power to Finance, Sales, and Operations.
But it starts with you.
We want to see what you can create when you aren't fighting spreadsheets.
The future belongs to the Engineer. We’re just here to hand you the sword.

🥰 The best Reddit scraping solution!
👏 We're sharing the full recording of the Scrapeless × Crawl4AI meetup — a focused session with short engineering talks, a live large-scale crawling demo, post-run analysis, and an extended Q&A.
Crawl4ai’s cloud-integrated crawler and automation demo show how combining Crawl4ai with Scrapeless enables robust, observable, and production-ready web data extraction at scale.
In this recording you’ll see an end-to-end automated crawl that runs entirely in the cloud (no local browser required), reliably handles anti-bot protections using high-quality residential proxies, and streams session playback so engineers and analysts can watch the crawl in real time.
The demo highlights practical workflows for batch harvesting, monitoring, ML dataset collection, and production ETL pipelines—covering setup, live metrics, failure handling, and post-run analysis.
• Run 1,000 concurrent crawls fully in the cloud — no local browser or local infrastructure required.
• Handle anti-bot systems quickly and reliably using high-quality residential proxies for stable, high-fidelity data access.
• Stream live session playback — watch the crawler’s behavior, page rendering, and request flow in real time for debugging and observability.
Why watch
• See a real, end-to-end large-scale crawl run and live metrics.
• Short engineering talks with practical takeaways for production crawlers.
• Post-run analysis: what broke, how we fixed it, and why.
• Q&A answering audience questions about productionization, reliability, and scaling.
If you deal with data ingestion, scraping at scale, or production reliability, this recording has actionable ideas you can apply. Questions welcome in the comments.

A new stack of search for AI agents is emerging: APIs, crawlers, and engines built for machines first, humans second.
I'm personally a big fan of Google having more competition, even though many of these rely on Google for their own search capabilities 😅.
Based on a mix of OSS traction, benchmarks and ecosystem pull, here’s a snapshot of 10 projects I'm watching most closely (no particular order):
1. Exa - AI-native web search engine & API for deep research.
2. Parallel Web Systems - Agent-focused web search with strong multi-hop / BrowseComp benchmarks.
3. Tavily - Web access layer for agents with guardrails and clean extraction.
4. You.com - Consumer search with an agent search API on top.
5. Perplexity (Sonar API) - Answer engine + research API used directly by LLM agents.
6. Firecrawl - Web data API that turns sites into LLM-ready markdown/JSON.
7. Crawl4AI - Open-source, LLM-friendly crawler for structured web context.
8. ScrapeGraphAI - Graph-based AI scraping framework for web & docs.
9. Meilisearch - OSS search engine evolving into hybrid / AI search infra.
10. Jina AI - Embeddings, rerankers & serving stack that power agentic search.
Who else belongs on this list?
It’s coming soon. Crawl4AI Cloud API — Closed Beta 🚀🌔✨
We’re opening early access to our Cloud API for reliable, large-scale web data extraction, built to be drastically more cost-effective than existing solutions and designed to be a step-change for modern AI data pipelines.
If you’re building with RAG, AI agents, market research, e-commerce, or large-scale crawling, you can apply for early access here:
👉 https://lnkd.in/gtpp9Pjh
We’ll be onboarding in phases and working closely with early users.
Limited slots.
We’re teaming up with the Scrapeless team for a special Crawl4AI x Scrapeless Community Meetup!
In this session, Scrapeless will be sharing real-world code samples and walking us through a live demo script showing how their tools integrate with Crawl4AI for scalable, production-grade crawling.
You’ll get a first-hand look at:
🔹 How to use Scrapeless tools alongside Crawl4AI
🔹 Code structure and workflow best practices
🔹 A complete demo script in action
If you’re building automation pipelines, working with AI agents, or scaling your scraping infrastructure — this one's for you.
