Skampie sends an AI agent out onto the real, live internet to find something for you — and brings back real results, not a summary of what it already knew.
Tell it what you want. It browses the web, checks real pages, and reports back with actual data: names, addresses, phone numbers, prices, whatever's relevant to your question — not a guess.
Include a place name if your search needs one. Skampie doesn't know where you are — "near me" means nothing to it. Write "near Bundaberg" or "in Fortitude Valley" instead of "near me," and it'll actually search the right area instead of flagging the ambiguity in its notes.
Say what fields matter to you. Skampie decides on its own what information is worth collecting for your mission — but if you specifically need something like an email address (which often isn't on the first page it checks), say so directly: "...and get their contact email" tells it to dig further rather than stop at the easy answer.
Be specific about what "good" looks like. "Find leads for window cleaning" is vague enough that Skampie will find generic local businesses. "Find businesses with large street-facing windows — retail stores, car dealerships, hotels" gets you a more targeted list.
Every mission has a real cost — Skampie is genuinely browsing the live web with a real AI model doing the thinking, not running a cached script. Costs vary by how much work it takes: a quick, well-defined mission might cost pennies; a longer, harder-to-pin-down search costs more, because it took more steps to get there.
Pick a tier before you run a mission — from a quick, cheap check to a deep, thorough one — and Skampie will stay within that budget. You'll always see exactly what a mission actually cost, in dollars, after it finishes — not just an estimate.
While a mission runs, you can see what Skampie is doing right now — not just a spinner. It shows its current step and what it's currently trying to figure out, in plain language.
If you've seen enough — got what you needed, or want to stop before it uses its full budget — hit Wrap up now. Skampie finishes what it's doing and reports back with whatever it's found so far, rather than being cut off mid-action.
Skampie is a real AI agent browsing the real web, which means it runs into the same things a person would:
Mission: "Find 5 highly-rated dentists near Bundaberg that accept new patients"
What happened: Skampie went straight to Google Maps, found 11 real dental practices with names, ratings, addresses, and phone numbers, tried briefly to confirm which ones were accepting new patients (most dental practices don't publish this), and reported back 5 real results with an honest note that "accepting new patients" wasn't confirmable from public listings — all in about 2 minutes, for about 15 cents.
That's the shape of what Skampie does well: real answers, honestly reported, without pretending to know things it doesn't.
