RAG and agent feeds are live web data prepared for retrieval: prices, availability, menus, reviews and catalog facts refreshed minutes-to-hourly, delivered as pre-chunked passages with embedding-friendly metadata over webhooks or API. Training data teaches your model the world as it was; these feeds let your product answer with the world as it is. One shopping-assistant client cut answer-time data staleness to under 15 minutes median — because a stale price quoted confidently is just a wrong answer.
Every AI product that touches commerce discovers the same failure mode in its first month: the model answers fluently with facts that expired yesterday. Screenshots circulate. Trust drains. The fix isn't a better model — it's retrieval running on data as fresh as the claim.
These feeds are that layer. We monitor the platforms your product speaks about, refresh on an SLA measured in minutes-to-hours per field, and deliver retrieval-ready: chunked passages sized for embedding, stable IDs for upserts, and metadata (platform, location, timestamp, entity) your retriever filters on. Push via webhooks into your vector store, or pull via API at answer time. The shopping-agent case study shows the shape of a production deployment; the AI-ready checklist explains why RAG preparation differs from training prep.
Per-field refresh targets — minutes for prices in campaign windows, hourly standard — stated and reported.
Records rendered as retrieval-sized text chunks with consistent structure, ready for your embedding model.
Deterministic chunk IDs so your vector store updates in place — no duplicate-answer drift.
Platform, geography, entity, timestamp and category on every chunk — your retriever narrows before it searches.
Standing pushes into your pipeline, or on-demand pulls at answer time — most products use both.
The same product resolved across platforms, so 'cheapest price for X' is retrievable as one fact, not five conflicting ones.

| FRESHNESS | Minutes (campaign/price-critical) to hourly (standard) · per-field SLAs, reported |
| DELIVERY | Webhooks · REST API · queue/bucket drops (S3, GCS, Pub/Sub) |
| FORMAT | Chunked JSON: text passage + metadata + stable ID · raw structured records also available |
| SCALE | From 10K to millions of tracked entities; burst refresh for launches |
| TIMELINE | Sample feed in 48h · production integration typically 1–2 weeks |
| PRICING | By entities tracked × refresh frequency; pilot tiers for pre-launch products |
| COMPLIANCE | Public data only · PII-scrubbed · ISO 9001/27001 · NDA-first |
Every engagement is NDA-first and starts with a free sample — judge the data before any commitment.
| In-house DIY | Generic SaaS tool | iWeb Data Scraping | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup & maintenance | You build scrapers, fight anti-bot, fix breakages weekly | Rigid templates, breaks on site changes, slow support | Fully managed — we build, monitor and fix, you never touch a proxy |
| Data quality | Best-effort, no QA layer, silent failures | Generic parsers, frequent gaps | 99%+ field accuracy, QA-verified, monitored 24/7 |
| Coverage | Limited to what you can maintain | Only supported sites | Any public site or app, at scale |
| Compliance | Your legal risk to manage alone | Often opaque about methods | ISO-certified, PII-scrubbed, NDA-first, documented |
| Time to value | Weeks to months of engineering | Fast but inflexible | Free sample in 48h, production in days |
Live price and availability behind every answer — the deployment pattern in this case study hit <15 min median freshness.
Tool-calling agents pull current facts at decision time instead of trusting last week's index.
Product search that knows what's in stock now — retrieval quality follows data freshness.
Consumption and preparation. Training data is ingested offline in bulk, so volume, deduplication and provenance dominate. RAG data is retrieved at answer time, so freshness, chunking and filterable metadata dominate. Same web sources, opposite last mile — buying one prepared as the other is the most common mistake we rescue.
It's an SLA, not an adjective: standard feeds refresh hourly; price-critical entities can refresh in minutes during defined windows. We report achieved freshness, and one production shopping assistant runs at under 15 minutes median between platform change and retrievable chunk.
We deliver chunks with stable IDs and metadata over webhooks or API; your pipeline embeds and upserts into any store — Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Elasticsearch and peers. We stay embedding-model-agnostic deliberately so your retrieval stack remains yours.
Yes — feeds support a managed entity list your product can append to via API. New products or locations requested by users enter monitoring automatically, with first data typically available within the next refresh cycle.
