See what an agent can do with Riveter before you ever sign up. Pick a story: recorded sessions replay real probe-harness transcripts; commands tagged live-capable can re-run against the real endpoint from our edge, right now (▶ run live — the exact same request, live and recorded lines always labeled); sandboxed self-drive sessions are designed and gated (docs/TRY-IT.md).

Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 86 stories with headroom
What would move Riveter’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productPlug MCP servers into this product so it can use their tools
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45
All MCP-related evidence describes Riveter acting as an MCP *server* that other AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) connect to, not Riveter acting as a client that can plug in and consume external MCP servers' tools.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productThe documented rate limit (requests per second or minute) enforced on my API key before throttling kicks in
nonemoves API qualityimpact 45
There is a mention of SDKs handling retries on 429s, implying rate limiting exists, but no documented numeric rate limit (requests per second/minute) is given anywhere in the evidence pack, and probes for API spec/docs return 404s.
Pricing limits — free-tier ceilings, usage caps, and rate limits before you have to payWhether exceeding my plan's monthly credit or request quota triggers overage charges or a hard cutoff
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Missing: any documentation of monthly plan quotas, overage billing policy, or hard-cutoff behavior when a subscription limit is exceeded.
Extraction quality — how faithfully content is extracted — structure, fidelity, edge casesExtract specific fields from a page using CSS or XPath selector rules
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Riveter's docs describe AI-driven page interpretation and scraping (turning URLs into parseable text, agents reading pages 'the way a person would') rather than CSS/XPath selector rules; no evidence pack item mentions selector-based extraction at all, and one item explicitly frames the AI approach as an alternative to fragile configuration that would break on redesign, which is the kind of setup selectors typically require.
Dev experience — day-to-day developer experience — setup friction, docs, debugging, iteration speedExport my scraped data and job configurations in a portable format to migrate to another provider without lock-in
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
No evidence of any export/portability feature for scraped data or job configs, nor any mention of migration support or standard/open config formats; API docs focus on running enrichments, webhooks, and SDKs, not data portability.
Js rendering — handling JavaScript-heavy pages — rendering, waiting, dynamic contentRender JavaScript-heavy single-page applications and get the fully rendered HTML
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Riveter is a data-enrichment/scraping/AI-agent tool focused on turning URLs into text and filling data columns; there is no evidence it renders JS-heavy SPAs into fully rendered HTML (e.g., headless browser rendering, DOM snapshot output).
Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesExport all of my data in open formats and leave
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Missing: export functionality documentation, supported open formats (CSV/JSON/etc), any data-portability or account-closure workflow.
Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesSelf-host the core product
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Riveter is presented as a hosted API/SaaS product (with local MCP server option only for connecting AI clients, not for self-hosting the core enrichment engine); no evidence of open-source code, self-hosting instructions, or a downloadable core product exists in the pack.
