# Can I replace BuiltWith with an AI agent?

A lookup service that shows which technologies a website uses. Partly. looot covers some of the jobs and not others.

## What BuiltWith does and what looot covers

- Technologies on one site: covered. Providers: people-data-labs, thecompaniesapi.
- Company data for a domain: covered. Providers: people-data-labs, coresignal, thecompaniesapi.
- Scrape a site's page source: covered. Providers: diffbot, jina, firecrawl, zyte-api.
- Sites that use a technology: partial. Providers: people-data-labs. Search by technology works on the provider's own index, so coverage varies.
- Technology history: not covered. looot does not keep a record of past site stacks.

## Agent prompt to replace BuiltWith

Use looot to tell me which technologies each website I give you uses, and list any that match a technology I name. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.

## Can an AI agent replace BuiltWith?

Partly. An agent running looot can do some of what BuiltWith does through catalog endpoints, and the page marks the jobs it cannot do.

## Is there a free BuiltWith alternative?

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than BuiltWith depends on your volume.

## What does BuiltWith cost?

List prices change, so check BuiltWith's own pricing page. This page does not repeat them. The looot side is read live from the catalog on the web version of this page.

## What is a good BuiltWith alternative for an AI agent?

An agent with a looot connection can call the providers behind BuiltWith's data jobs directly. The providers used here are people-data-labs, thecompaniesapi, coresignal, diffbot, jina, firecrawl, zyte-api.

## Which BuiltWith features does looot not cover?

Not covered: technology history. Keep BuiltWith for those, or use another tool beside looot.

## How do I replace BuiltWith with looot?

Paste the agent prompt on this page into your coding agent. It sets up looot, finds the endpoints for each job and runs them. You can edit the prompt to match your own inputs.

## Do I need a BuiltWith account to use looot?

No. looot calls its own providers and does not connect to your BuiltWith account. Your existing BuiltWith data stays where it is.
