# Donkye > Donkye is an AI web-research agent that turns plain-English questions into clean, structured data. It scrapes, crawls, maps, and searches the open web, then returns strict JSON or readable markdown — no code, no selectors, no fragile scripts. Donkye is built on the Firecrawl v2 extraction engine and Google's Gemini models. The web app handles all browser automation, parallelization, and proxy rotation server-side; API keys never reach the client. Output is designed to be dropped directly into spreadsheets, documents, Google Drive, or downstream AI pipelines. Typical jobs: lead and account research, competitive monitoring, documentation-to-knowledge-base conversion, market and pricing research, news and changelog tracking. ## Core pages - [Donkye — home](https://donkye.com/): What Donkye is, how it works, pricing, and product overview. - [About Donkye](https://donkye.com/about): Company thesis, team, press kit, and investor-facing summary. - [Use cases](https://donkye.com/use-cases): Worked examples of real web-research jobs Donkye handles. - [Comparisons](https://donkye.com/compare): Honest comparisons against Firecrawl, ChatGPT browsing, and DIY scrapers. - [Facts & figures](https://donkye.com/facts): Citable, dated statistics about web research, scraping, and agent tooling. - [Changelog](https://donkye.com/changelog): Public release history. ## Use cases - [Lead research](https://donkye.com/use-cases/lead-research): Build target lists with firmographics, tech stack, and contact pages from hundreds of company sites. - [Competitive monitoring](https://donkye.com/use-cases/competitive-monitoring): Track competitor pricing, product pages, and changelogs without maintaining scrapers. - [Docs to knowledge base](https://donkye.com/use-cases/docs-to-knowledge-base): Convert any documentation site into a structured JSON knowledge base for RAG. - [Market research](https://donkye.com/use-cases/market-research): Aggregate prices, reviews, and category data across marketplaces and directories. ## Comparisons - [Donkye vs Firecrawl (raw)](https://donkye.com/compare/donkye-vs-firecrawl): When to use raw Firecrawl vs the Donkye agent layer. - [Donkye vs ChatGPT browsing](https://donkye.com/compare/donkye-vs-chatgpt-browsing): Where ChatGPT's browser tool stops and a dedicated agent starts. ## Legal - [Privacy Policy](https://donkye.com/privacy): What Donkye collects, how it's processed, and how to delete it. - [Terms of Service](https://donkye.com/terms): Acceptable use, IP, and liability. - [Security](https://donkye.com/security): Architecture, key handling, and responsible disclosure. ## Machine-readable - [Full text corpus](https://donkye.com/llms-full.txt): All public Donkye content concatenated as plain markdown for LLM ingestion. - [Sitemap](https://donkye.com/sitemap.xml) ## Contact - General: hello@donkye.com - Privacy: privacy@donkye.com - Legal: legal@donkye.com - Security: security@donkye.com
