WhatA browser extension and distributed archive that passively captures public web pages users visit and makes them available in a bot-friendly, openly accessible mirror — a community-powered alternative to archive.org for the attestation era.
SignalAs more sites gate access behind device attestation and aggressive bot detection, users are expressing interest in collectively archiving the open web before it disappears behind walled gardens, especially to keep AI agents and researchers able to access public information.

MarketResearchers, AI developers, journalists, and archivists; monetizable through API access for AI training pipelines; competes with archive.org and Common Crawl but differentiated by real-time, user-contributed freshness.
MoatNetwork effect of contributors — the more users install the extension, the more comprehensive and fresh the archive becomes, making it exponentially harder for a latecomer to replicate coverage.
