The long bet on text-only agents is paying off: DeepSeek Flash, code-as-plan, and headless websites wired into your APIs and knowledge.

Major revamp
Retriever Rewired:
100x Gains + Headless Sites
We made a long-term bet: the best browser agent would be text-only, code-native, and cheap enough to run everywhere. It’s now paying off.
|
We had a successful Chai + Free Fable protest for open model access.
|
|
1. Code-as-Plan + DeepSeek Flash
The text-only bet finally pays off.
We always believed a text-only model would be cheaper than a multimodal one. DeepSeek finally proved it. New default model is US-hosted DeepSeek V4 Flash (lowest cost frontier model) that only we can use with our unique DOM/text-only web agent.
Code-as-Plan is the unlock. Retriever can now read the page as text, write code against the DOM, manipulate accessibility trees as strings, leverage encoded URLs, batch extract data, and skip agent loops.
|
100x Cheaper
DeepSeek Flash lowers model cost, while code-plan cuts LLM turns.
|
DOM + Code
Agent hacks the web to one-shot complex workflows all in your browser, just prompt.
|
Code Harness
Executes scripts of MCP tools, website API calls, and rtrvr.* helpers.

2. Headless Sites + Agentic Checkout
Your website now has an operator.
The future is simple: consumers talk to AI chat, and it talks to a 1,000 sites to find the best user outcome: compares, negotiates, and buys.
You need a site-owned agent that can intercept intent, bind identity, run payment rails, and upsell the right product. Just publishing APIs leaves your product a commodity.
Make your website a headless agent that users can access from AI chat, Whatsapp or even Slack, while just maintaining one website surface.

Example: We just tested end-to-end flow of Claude.ai triggering Rover with sign-in link and virtual card to sign up for a subscription. Productionized demo soon!

3. Rover Scout
Wire Rover into your stack.
Beyond typing/clicking on your live website, Rover can now be customized with knowledge bases, tool calling, and custom instructions.
Point Rover Scout at your URL, Scout generates the agentic payment layer for your site: ACP for ChatGPT, UCP for Google agents, and our own A2W for arbitrary tasks on your headless website.
