Expand launches Expand Fetch: lossless web data so agents stop being confidently wrong
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-10-15
Expand announced Expand Fetch, addressing a concrete agent failure mode: Markdown conversion drops icons, breaks tables, and misses hidden JSON, so agents answer confidently and wrongly. Example: on a pricing page marked with ✗/✓ for uptime SLAs, lossy Markdown makes the agent say both plans include SLAs; preserving icons yields the correct "only Enterprise."
Expand Fetch combines two in-house trained models, Iris and X-Ray, with the Wayback Machine, aiming to make the web queryable like a database with lossless, verifiable data. Available now.
