Hey Product Hunt, Bhavani here, cofounder of rtrvr.ai 👋
Arjun and I are two former Google engineers building an AI browser agent with 35,000+ users. Today, we're bringing our free agent to Product Hunt.
We believe you should choose your AI, your model, and which work to hand over. Let Retriever handle the repetitive browser work you'd happily stop doing.
Ask Retriever to research leads and send outreach, shortlist TikTok and Instagram creators, or apply to jobs. Run tasks in your own Chrome browser or in cloud browsers hosted by Retriever.
Our median AI cost is under 1¢ per task. That's what makes free access possible.
We built our own DOM-based agent harness. It reads webpages as compact text, runs multiple actions together, checks results, and recovers from errors. Context caching, open-weight models, and continual learning through reusable site skills reduce the work each model has to do.
The performance matters just as much as the cost:
- 81.4% task completion in our published Web Bench evaluation, ahead of OpenAI and Anthropic agents.
- 5× faster and 300x cheaper than OpenAI dots across our AI Agent Benchmark.
You can also connect Retriever to OpenAI dots, Claude, or Codex through MCP and let your preferred AI hand off web data and browser automation tasks to it. Bulent, a user who connected OpenAI dots to rtrvr, told us:
> "I configured Dot to extensively use Retrieval AI on my behalf, and I'm getting much better results."
Small sponsored ads now and then help fund Free Mode. No subscription or API key needed. Start in the Chrome extension or Cloud dashboard.
We want solo founders, GTM experts, small businesses, students and anyone with work piling up to have access to our SOTA agent to automate their work for free.
Give Retriever a task you've been putting off. What would you like to get off your plate? http://rtrvr.ai/

Who hunted Retriever AI?
Retriever AI was hunted by Rohan Chaubey. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
