One of the biggest challenges we face with LLMs is their knowledge is too general and limited for anything new. That’s why RAG is such a huge topic when it comes to AI right now - it’s a method for providing an LLM with external knowledge you curate so it can become an expert at something it wasn’t before - a specific AI framework, your ecommerce store, you name it. The problem is, that “curate” step can be very difficult and slow.
That is where Crawl4AI comes in! Crawl4AI is an open source web crawling framework specifically designed for scraping websites and formatting the output in the BEST possible way for an LLM to understand. The best part is it solves a LOT of problems we typically have with systems that crawl websites - usually they are slow, resource intensive, and complicated. But Crawl4AI is VERY fast, intuitive, easy to set up, and extremely memory efficient.
In this video, I show you how to use Crawl4AI to super easily crawl websites for LLMs in just seconds, and at the end I even show you a RAG AI agent I’ve built to be a “Pydantic AI” framework expert using Crawl4AI to build the knowledgebase. And you could really take this and use it for any website you want. Next video I'll do a deep dive into this agent!
