AI That can scrape 1000's of companies data without hallucinating the results?

I have tried every AI tool I have like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini etc and through their browser it searches companies and gives me great data. The moment I use an API to automate it it churns out garbage that is made up. Anyone know of a tool that I can put in 1000's of directory URL's and it gives me the correct information on each company? I don't mind paying top dollar for it. Thanks.

what data are you looking for exactly? I don't LLM is the best option, you could be better off with good old scraping methods, there are plenty of apps that do that for you if you can't code your scrapper

It was born to halicinanate, and nobody will ever be able to stop it. Live with it.

there will always be hallucinations. you can try services like firecrawl if you want api scraping layered with ai

I’ve got 1000’s of companies I want to target to sell to. The directory they came from doesn’t show their email address so I use the normal web based interface of ChatGPT, Claude etc and say “find this companies website, person to contact, email address and social media accounts”. 99% of the time on a 1 at a time basis this works perfectly. You try exactly the same prompt through their API on Google sheets and the results are just nonsense. The data is completely made up and 95% of the websites and email addresses don’t exist.

There must be a way to do this accurately? I’ve also tried make.com but where the api is the same the results are terrible.

It sounds like a data validation issue. Have you tried using a combination of scraping tools and manual checks to ensure the results are accurate before automating the process?

Text-based AI models, on the other hand, can't function without hallucinations, which are part of their architecture. You must always take this into account.

It will always hallucinate sadly and no one can stop it from doing so.
