Analyze Screenshots with AI

This workflow achieves full-process automation of web information retrieval by automatically capturing webpage screenshots and utilizing AI for content analysis. First, it calls a screenshot API to generate a complete screenshot of the webpage. Then, AI is used to intelligently extract the core content from the screenshot. Finally, it integrates the webpage title, URL, and the generated description to output structured information. This approach overcomes the limitations of traditional text scraping, significantly enhancing the efficiency and quality of web content acquisition, making it suitable for various scenarios such as market research and content review.
