Answers by Context.dev

Context.dev is back on Product Hunt with a sharper pitch: give it a research task and the JSON shape you want, and it returns structured answers with source URLs. The company is calling the launch “Answers by Context.dev,” and the idea is simple enough to fit on a napkin — let developers ask for web research the same way they’d call any other API.

That matters because a lot of teams still glue this stuff together by hand. Search here, scrape there, then feed the result into an LLM and hope nothing breaks when a page changes. Context.dev is trying to remove that brittle middle layer. Instead of building and maintaining scraping infrastructure, teams can ask for structured web data directly.

The feature set is broad. Context.dev says it can scrape any URL as clean markdown or HTML, pull brand details like logos, colors, fonts, and social links from a domain, crawl sitemaps, and resolve transaction descriptors. It also ships typed SDKs for TypeScript, Python, and Ruby, which is the sort of detail that tells you this is aimed squarely at builders, not casual users.

The company says more than 5,000 businesses already use its tools, including Mintlify, Daily.dev, and Ferndesk.com. It also says most teams integrate in under 10 minutes. And this is not a first swing at Product Hunt: today’s launch is the third one from Context.dev, which suggests the product has been steadily expanding from basic web access toward something closer to a research layer for AI apps.
