Connect Linkup to your agent once. After that, you can point your AI at any webpage to get the actual content without the noise.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How do I get clean text from a URL using my AI?

Your agent uses fetch_url to grab the raw content from a link while ignoring ads and junk. You'll get a clean text version ready for prompting or RAG. Here is what you'll get.

The results.

Where the data lands.

The AI handles the messy web scraping so you don't have to.

CLEAN DATA

Pure text content

The agent strips out everything except the meaningful text. You get the core information without the clutter.

NO NOISE

Bypassing web junk

Popups, sidebars, and heavy JavaScript are ignored. Your agent only sees what matters for your task.

READY TO USE

Context for RAG

The extracted text is formatted for immediate use in your knowledge base or long-context prompts.

HUMAN REVIEW

Manual verification

You decide if the extracted content meets your needs. The AI provides the data, but you keep control over the final output.

The workflow

What your AI does when a URL arrives.

The agent moves from a raw link to structured information through these steps.

  3. Isolate text

    The agent pulls out the primary body text and headings from the cleaned structure.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI bypass paywalls?

    No. The agent can only access content that is publicly available via the URL.

  • 02

    Does the AI save the websites it reads?

    No. The agent fetches the content for your current session only.

  • 03

    Will it work on sites that require a login?

    No. The fetch_url tool accesses public web pages. It cannot log into your personal accounts.

  • 04

    Can it extract images from the URL?

    No. This tool is designed to extract text content, not media files.

  • 05

    What happens if a site is mostly JavaScript?

    The agent will attempt to pull the text, but if the content isn't in the HTML, it won't see it.
