Overview

Retriever AI runs in Chrome or on cloud browsers, can be called through API, MCP, CLI and SDK, and saves reusable workflows. A free ad-supported mode covers tasks started in the extension or cloud dashboard. Free Mode shows sponsored cards and has a daily fair-use allowance, and API runs need a paid plan.

Retriever AI is a capable low-cost browser agent with an unusually generous free mode. Plan limits on API and schedules matter.
