Product Manager Griffin Trent breaks down how Apify makes web scraping and automation accessible to anyone, not just developers. Learn real use cases from apartment hunting alerts and flight price monitoring to competitor research and AI powered data collection.
In this podcast, Griffin and Fergus talk about:
- Why "data" is more intimidating than it should be
- Concrete examples: housing listings, flight deals, car aggregators
- How small businesses use Apify for leads and market research
- AI integration with MCP Testing Client (built Ukraine aid map in 1 hour)
- Getting started without technical knowledge
Griffin explains how to discover your use case and why ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are increasingly recommending Apify as solutions.
