Show HN: Launched free browser agent (the catch: ads)
rtrvr.ai
What's the catch? Just ads while Retriever AI fetches you leads, does your exams, applied to jobs, and sends connection requests.
Think like a Claude Code or Clay level tool in your browser, but free for everyone!
After 35K+ users and 7M+ workflows, we spent the last few months attacking the cost of every agent step: - switching to DeepSeek Flash - Code Mode to one shot complex workflows - optimizing for 80%+ token cache hits
So that now just an ad impression covers the entire cost of the agent (LLM inference included), so we can now offer the entire agent for free!
More important than an agent that can scale with users, is an agent that gets better with every workflow. Retriever now continuously: → learns global skills for every website, so no mistake repeats twice → writes learnings from user tasks as personalized skills
Curious to hear how others are tackling consumer agents and excited for the new era of free agentic apps!
