Tech Stack

• Runtime: Node.js 18+
• Language: TypeScript 5.6
• CLI: Commander.js
• Scraping: Cheerio (lightweight, no browser needed)
• AI: OpenAI SDK
• Output: Chalk, Boxen, Ora

Scraping

By default, intai uses a lightweight scraper based on Cheerio that works without installing a browser. This is fast and has no system dependencies.

Optional: Enhanced scraping with Playwright

If you need better JavaScript-rendered content, install Playwright:

npm run install:browser
# or
npx playwright install chromium
