There is a public website called parcoursup that has a school page for thousands of schools in France. Parcoursup is a public website, no login is required.
I asked Leo AI to crawl all school pages and return to me a list of all schools that meet a certain criteria based on Parcoursup’s public information (such-as : more than 5% of accepted candidates come from out-of-city candidates).
Leo AI immediately replied that it does not have the ability to crawl a website.
Please note that I am not asking for webscrapping, more asking a list of schools that meet a certain criteria.
If Leo AI can’t do this, how can I ask an AI to do this ? Which alternative to Leo would be able to give a shot at my query ?
At the present moment, you would make searches at websites and online, and then create a summary list of your findings - example:
“Schools in Provence - a PDF file at:
[URL address]”
“Normandy - school administration report, [name of report], at:
[URL address]”
You find the sources of info and report those to an AI ← and ask for the summary of what that AI finds when using those sources.
I would ask each AI service:
“Parcoursup is a web portal designed by the French Ministry of Education and the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation. Are you able to use that service - its website - to look over all school pages and return a list of all schools that meet a certain criteria based on Parcoursup’s public information (such-as : more than 5% of accepted candidates come from out-of-city candidates)?”
The AI will let you know its limitations.
I have been using Alter.systems and Perplexity.ai.
This is precisely the point. I asked a prompt in the lines of what you wrote, and the AI response from Brave was that is was not able to crawl a website, and said I should do it manually myself.
Hence my question, if the AI engine inside Brave can’t do it, then does anyone know of an AI capable of doing it ?
Plenty for you to investigate by asking the question previously mentioned. At Wikipedia, I would scroll down to “Natural language processing” and start interviewing those listed.
The Wikipedia list is not comprehensive - and does not mention:
Leo AI
Alter.systems
Perplexity.ai
So you may want to search around for a more thorough list.
If tempted by https://www.genspark.ai/ ← avoid them. Because of a specific Genspark feature - where the AI can place automated phone calls on your behalf.
