2. Get started
Websets is very easy to use.
-
Describe what you want in plain English - make it as complicated as you’d like!

3. Inside your Webset
In brief, Websets does the following:
-
Break down what you’re asking for
-
Find promising data that might satisfy your ask
-
Verify all criteria using AI agents and finding parallel sources
-
Adjust search based on feedback you provide our agent
Let’s walk through an example: “Early to mid-stage AI startups in the US”Websets breaks down your query with the following criteria:1) Company is in the AI industry
Company is in early to mid-stage of development (e.g., seed to Series B funding)
Company is headquartered in the United States
If you’re not satisfied with the initial results you see, refine the criteria in “Edit criteria” or inside the chat.
