About

AI systems have intelligence. They still need live web knowledge. I’m Hamza, co-founder & CEO of Olostep. We’re building the infrastructure for the world's second user: AI agents. Olostep is one API to search, scrape, crawl, map, monitor, and turn the web into clean Markdown, HTML, screenshots, JSON, and source-grounded answers. Before Olostep, I co-founded Zecento, an AI e-commerce productivity product in Italy. Now, our mission is to organize and make the live web programmable for AI agents. Building agents, RAG, AI search, enrichment, SEO/AI visibility, competitive intel, or research automation? We’re launching soon on Product Hunt — come try Olostep and ask questions.

Olostep: Web Data Infrastructure for AI

Welcome to Olostep. We're building the infrastructure AI agents need to do real work on the web.

The web is the backbone of every business and the home of humanity's collective knowledge. Humans browsed it manually for decades. Now Agents are knocking on the door.

In late 2025, with improvements in AI models, we entered an era where software stopped following instructions and started thinking. We shifted from an instruction-based world to an intent-based one. The agentic era. That shift breaks a lot of infrastructure that quietly assumed a human in the loop: email, payments, identity, search.

Search asked you to do the rest. You typed a query, got some links back, and then opened the tabs, read, compared, and pieced it together yourself. In an agentic search world, what comes back isn't links, and isn't an answer. It's the work, done: hundreds of sources searched, pages read, fields extracted, conflicts resolved, output structured and delivered.
The web's second user is arriving, at machine scale. Everything it needs to work has to be built again. The data infrastructure is where we start. We are starting with a series of APIs to search, scrape, crawl, map, monitor, and turn the web into clean data for AI
