Apify has become a go-to solution for web data extraction and automation, but truly unlocking its value for your team requires more than raw scraping power. Combining Apify with Runbear’s AI agent platform brings that data — and the ability to act on it — directly into your team’s daily workflow. From automated research summaries to hands-free intelligence gathering, discover how this integration transforms Apify into a true force multiplier for any team.
About Apify
Apify is a powerful cloud-based platform for web scraping, browser automation, and building workflow-oriented AI agents. Its core feature is the Actor: a micro-application that can extract information, automate browser tasks, and manipulate data at scale. The Apify Store boasts thousands of pre-built Actors for everything from news aggregation to product data mining, making advanced automation accessible to developers and enterprises alike. With robust API support, proxy rotation, and granular user management, Apify is used by data-driven brands, growth teams, researchers, and anyone seeking scalable, programmable web automation—without the bottleneck of manual research. Businesses use Apify to drive competitive intelligence, enrich datasets, optimize pricing, and power large-scale digital operations.

Apify vs Apify + AI Agent: Key Differences
Using Apify by itself provides powerful data extraction and automation, but often requires technical knowledge and manual coordination to activate workflows, distribute findings, and collaborate as a team. By integrating Apify with Runbear, your AI agents turn unstructured Apify outputs into actionable insights, automate repetitive tasks, and surface critical information directly inside the channels where your team communicates. Runbear transforms Apify from a standalone data tool into a real-time, collaborative automation engine.
Implementation Considerations
Teams adopting Apify workflows often face hurdles such as the need for technical expertise in building and managing Actors, the challenge of distributing and acting on raw data, and the risk of siloed insights that never make it to key decision-makers. Setting up automated data delivery across large teams can require significant scripting and maintenance. Security, access control, and data governance also become critical as more team members rely on these workflows. Integrating Apify with Runbear’s AI agents addresses many of these pain points: no-code setup, natural language interaction, and seamless data sharing into existing communication channels. However, teams should still plan for proper onboarding, clarify permissions (especially around sensitive data extractions), train staff on best practices for prompt-based interactions, and assess the value of automating data versus the cost of manual curation.
