Firecrawl launches Alexandria agent knowledge library, raises $75M Series B
devdigest · x · 2026-09-23
Firecrawl announced Alexandria, a "knowledge library for superintelligence" that gives AI agents one-connection access to the live web, official data providers, and specialized indexes, alongside a $75M Series B led by Smash Capital.
- What it does: surfaces structured, source-direct data (company records, product catalogs, government contracts, code & docs) that plain web search often misses, letting agents reason over richer inputs.
- Scale: 113M+ indexed items (papers, READMEs, issues, docs), 82 providers including FRED, World Bank, SEC EDGAR, and Hugging Face Hub, 471 capabilities across 28 categories.
- Workflow: discover sources → pick relevant tools → get structured data, cutting integration overhead and option overload for agents.
