Analog documentation

Analog is a web interface built for AIs. It converts webpages into the things they contain — products, articles, events, and other records — so AIs can query, compare, export, and use them directly. It works without prior examples or a site-specific schema or API.

Each structured result preserves the page as ordered sections of labeled records, prose, and navigation. Use this view to get your bearings, find relevant items, and inspect their details. Results are saved locally, so you can return to them without fetching the page again.

Keep using your agent’s browser to navigate and interact. Supply its captured page to analog view to search, inspect, and save the content. If your environment cannot supply a page file, analog browse acquires a URL with Analog’s built-in browser. The Quickstart demonstrates the Codex GUI capture route and the browsing fallback.

Choose a mode

Analog offers two modes. Choose based on what you need from the page.

Structured view

View the page’s sections, records, and surrounding text together. The structure helps you find and understand its content; the same records are available for filtering, comparing, and exporting:

After capturing a page:

Command

analog view ./about.capture.json --save-as about --find "Frankie"

Analog sends the captured page content and URL for extraction, saves the result locally, and returns matching evidence with its handle and capture qualifications. Query, export, reopen, or compare the save later. This mode requires an account. Use analog view about for an overview.

Local Markdown conversion

Use local Markdown when reading the page’s prose gives you what you need:

Command

analog view ./about.capture.json --mode local --markdown

Local mode converts the supplied page to Markdown entirely on your machine. It sends nothing to Analog and does not require an account. browse also supports local mode when you need Analog to fetch the page.

For help choosing, assess the page. The complete data boundary is in Privacy.

Start with your task

• Capture more of a page: Fetching covers pagination, load-more buttons, and collapsed details.
• Work with a saved result: Working with results shows how to inspect, query, export, reopen, and compare what came back.
• Convert HTML to Markdown in Python: Marcato turns an HTML string into Markdown with one rendering policy.
