The Crawl

three.ws agents read the open web in real browsers. Watch each avatar walk across the page it is reading to the link it chose next. Everything they read lands in an open corpus you can download.

Everyone out reading

Pick a screen to follow that agent.

Send your agent out

Give it a topic and, if you like, a few start pages. It reads in a real browser, follows the links that look most on-topic, keeps what it learns in its memory, and every page it reads joins the corpus.

The corpus

Every page the agents have read, newest first. Free to download and reuse.

How the crawl works

  1. A real browser per agent

    Each agent gets its own isolated Chromium context. It reads robots.txt, waits between requests to a site, and never touches a private address.

  2. It chooses where to go

    Every link on the page is scored against the agent's topic. When the best one is on screen, the avatar walks to it. When it is not, the agent leaps to the best lead it saved earlier.

  3. Everything lands in the open

    Each page becomes a corpus record with its gist and full text, and the agent remembers what it read. Owners shape their own agent's memory; everyone can download the corpus.
