DigitalOcean Managed Agents can now act on what is happening across live open web through seamless integration with Bright Data search access extract and actioning tools. DigitalOcean NYSE DOCN and Bright Data today announced partnership at The Open Intelligence Summit that brings Bright Data tools and datasets to DigitalOcean Managed Agents available now through Action Gateway announced Broomfield Colo.
Agents on DigitalOcean can now search live web access sites that present technical challenges to automated traffic extract structured data and act on pre-collected dynamically refreshed datasets without separate Bright Data account or API key.
Most agents can search web but very few can reliably reach data businesses depend on. Competitor prices stock levels and reviews often sit on sites that automated traffic cannot reliably access. Usual fix is custom code that breaks when sites change or static datasets that no agent can act on in real time.
Retailer pricing agent for example can read this week order history recall that last month discount on product category lifted revenue without compressing margin and access this morning market prices and product data before recommending new price. Each recommendation and outcome feed DigitalOcean learning system so agent improves with every decision.
Agents need governed access to broad set of data to do real work. Bright Data brings search and retrieval into DigitalOcean AI-Native Cloud which handles all key resources agent needs including runtime session state inference and tool access so developers can focus on agent task instead of its infrastructure.
Bringing real-time web data at scale to every team building agents on DigitalOcean so agents can act on what happening across open web. DigitalOcean infrastructure well suited to agents that plan to build own on it giving customers shortest path from web data to running agent.
Partnership will extend in two additional phases. Bright Data datasets will be integrated into DigitalOcean Agent Data Services enabling agents to analyze public web data alongside customer own data in single query. Bright Data also plans to build and deploy its own agents on DigitalOcean Managed Agents giving customers of both companies fully managed path from web data access to running scalable agent with no infrastructure to manage.
Bright Data tools available today in DigitalOcean Managed Agents public preview. To get started add Bright Data in Action Gateway or visit digitalocean.com/products/managed-agents.
