Why do general-purpose extraction tools keep falling short for event data?

I ve been looking closely at tools like PulpMiner, Firecrawl, and even throwing Gemini directly at the problem and honestly, they re all interesting in their own way.

But when it comes to event data specifically, I keep seeing the same issues pop up:

  • A lot of repeated effort across domains that almost behave the same

  • LLM-driven approaches that are expensive, inconsistent, or need babysitting

  • Tools that solve extraction but not discovery (or vice versa)

  • Time spent cleaning up results instead of using them

Website → Events - Turn any website into clean, reliable event data ⚡📅

Event data lives everywhere — different CMSs, custom sites, page layouts, and calendars — and collecting it manually (or with brittle agents) is expensive and error-prone. Website → Events removes that burden. Drop in a domain, get structured, owner-published events you can actually trust. Teams use it to keep event directories fresh, power research, and maintain reliable event feeds — without burning hours or budget on repetitive work. Less busywork. Fewer errors. More confidence. ✅
