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 DeepSeek Flash through a US-hosted provider with zero data retention, giving us a cost-effective and SOTA browser-agent path.
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 cuts the number of LLM turns.
|
DOM + Code
Agent hacks the web to one-shot complex workflows with library of tools, just prompt.
|
Code Harness
Combine web context with MCP tool calling, website API calls, and rtrvr.* DSL helpers.

2. Headless Websites + Agentic Checkout
Your site needs an operator.
The future is simple: consumers talk to AI Chat, and it talks to 1,000 sites to find the best outcome: compares, negotiates, and buys.
Publishing APIs is not enough. You need a site-owned agent that can intercept intent, bind identity, run payment rails, and upsell the right product.
|
Intent + identity
Rover turns outside agent demand into authenticated, auditable site workflows.
|
Payments + upsell
Keep checkout on your rails while agents discover, confirm, buy, and receive receipts.
|
|
Example: Claude discovers Rover, asks for the best plan, pauses for human confirmation, completes checkout on merchant rails, and gets a signed receipt.

3. Rover Scout
Get your site ready to sell to AI.
AI agents are already sending shoppers your way, and most sites cannot take the order. Point Rover Scout at your URL, or scan your code with the CLI.
Scout reads your real flows: products, plans, what is in stock, sign-in, and how you get paid. Then it writes the files agents read: ACP for ChatGPT, UCP for Google agents, plus auth. You approve what it finds. Your rails, your money.
Watch the demo: one scan turns a site into ACP, UCP, and auth that AI agents can use.
