-## Quick Start
+## What is WebPeel?
 
-```bash
-# Zero install — just run it
-npx webpeel https://news.ycombinator.com
-```
-
-```bash
-# Agent mode — JSON + budget + extraction in one flag
-npx webpeel https://example.com --agent
-
-# Site search — no URL knowledge needed (27 supported sites)
-npx webpeel search --site ebay "charizard card"
-npx webpeel search --site amazon "laptop stand" --table
+WebPeel gives your AI agent reliable access to the web. Fetch any page, extract structured data, crawl entire sites, and research topics — all through a single CLI, API, or MCP server.
 
-# CSS schema extraction — auto-detected by domain
-npx webpeel https://www.amazon.com/s?k=keyboard --json
-npx webpeel https://www.booking.com/searchresults.html --schema booking --json
-npx webpeel --list-schemas
-
-# LLM extraction — structured data from any page (BYOK)
-npx webpeel https://example.com/product --llm-extract "title, price, rating" --json
-npx webpeel https://hn.algolia.com --llm-extract "top 5 posts with scores" --llm-key $OPENAI_API_KEY
-
-# Hotel search — multi-source parallel search
-npx webpeel hotels "Paris" --checkin 2026-03-01 --checkout 2026-03-05 --sort price
-npx webpeel hotels "New York" --checkin 2026-04-10 --json
+It automatically handles the hard parts: JavaScript rendering, bot detection, Cloudflare challenges, infinite scroll, pagination, and content noise. Your agent gets clean markdown. You don't think about the plumbing.
 
-# Browser profiles — persistent sessions across requests
-npx webpeel profile create myprofile
-npx webpeel https://protected-site.com --profile myprofile --stealth
-npx webpeel profile list
+---
 
-# Stealth mode (auto-detects & bypasses bot protection)
-npx webpeel https://protected-site.com --stealth
+## 🚀 Quick Start
 
-# Crawl a website
-npx webpeel crawl https://example.com --max-pages 20
+**Three paths in, all free to try:**
 
-# Search the web
-npx webpeel search "best AI frameworks 2026"
+### CLI
 
-# Extract product listings automatically
-npx webpeel https://store.com/search --extract-all --json

-### Docker
+## 🔬 Deep Research
 
-**MCP Server (stdio — for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf):**
+Multi-hop research that thinks like a researcher, not a search engine:
 
 ```bash
-docker run -i webpeel/mcp
+# Sources only — no API key needed
+npx webpeel research "best practices for rate limiting APIs" --max-sources 8
+
+# Full synthesis with LLM (BYOK)
+npx webpeel research "compare Firecrawl vs Crawl4AI vs WebPeel" --llm-key sk-...
 ```
 
-**MCP Server (HTTP Streamable transport):**
+**How it works:** Search → fetch top results → extract key passages (BM25) → follow the most relevant links → synthesize across sources. No circular references, no duplicate content.
+
+---
+
+## 📦 Extraction
+
+Three ways to get structured data out of any page:
+
+### CSS Schema (zero config, auto-detected)
 
 ```bash
-docker run -e MCP_HTTP_MODE=true -p 3100:3100 webpeel/mcp
+# Auto-detects Amazon and applies the built-in schema
+npx webpeel "https://www.amazon.com/s?k=mechanical+keyboard" --json
+
+# Force a specific schema
+npx webpeel "https://www.booking.com/searchresults.html?city=Paris" --schema booking --json
+
+# List all built-in schemas
+npx webpeel --list-schemas
 ```
 
-**API Server (Firecrawl-compatible REST API):**
+Built-in schemas: `amazon` · `booking` · `ebay` · `expedia` · `hackernews` · `walmart` · `yelp`
+
+### JSON Schema (type-safe structured extraction)
 
 ```bash
-docker run -p 3000:3000 webpeel/api
+npx webpeel "https://example.com/product" \
+  --extract-schema '{"type":"object","properties":{"title":{"type":"string"},"price":{"type":"number"}}}' \
+  --llm-key sk-...
 ```
 
-**Self-Hosted (full stack with database):**
+### LLM Extraction (natural language, BYOK)
 
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/webpeel/webpeel.git
-cd webpeel && docker compose up
+npx webpeel "https://hn.algolia.com" \
+  --llm-extract "top 10 posts with title, score, and comment count" \
+  --llm-key $OPENAI_API_KEY \
+  --json
 ```
 
-Full API at `http://localhost:3000`. AGPL-3.0 licensed. [Commercial licensing available](mailto:support@webpeel.dev).
+<details>
+<summary>Node.js extraction example</summary>
 
-**MCP config for Docker:**
+```typescript
+import { peel } from 'webpeel';
 
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "webpeel": {
-      "command": "docker",

+      titles: '.titleline > a',
+      scores: '.score',
     }
   }
-}
-```
+});
+console.log(result.extracted); // { titles: [...], scores: [...] }
 
-## Features
+// LLM extraction with JSON Schema
+const product = await peel('https://example.com/product', {
+  llmExtract: 'title, price, rating, availability',
+  llmKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
+});
+```
+</details>
 
-### 🎯 Smart Escalation
+---
 
-Automatically uses the fastest method, escalates only when needed:
+## 🛡️ Stealth & Anti-Bot
 
-```
-HTTP Fetch (200ms)  →  Browser Rendering (2s)  →  Stealth Mode (5s)
-     80% of sites          15% of sites             5% of sites
-```
+WebPeel detects 7 bot-protection vendors and handles them automatically:
 
-### 🎭 Stealth Mode
+- **Cloudflare** (JS challenge, Turnstile, Bot Management)
+- **PerimeterX / HUMAN** (behavioral analysis)
+- **DataDome** (ML-based bot detection)
+- **Akamai Bot Manager**
+- **Distil Networks**
+- **reCAPTCHA / hCaptcha** (page-level detection)
+- **Generic challenge pages**
 
-Bypass Cloudflare and bot detection. Masks browser fingerprints, navigator properties, WebGL vendor.
+28 high-protection domains (Amazon, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Zillow, Ticketmaster, and more) automatically route through stealth mode — no flags needed.
 
 ```bash
-npx webpeel https://protected-site.com --stealth
+# Explicitly enable stealth
+npx webpeel "https://glassdoor.com/jobs" --stealth
+
+# Auto-escalation (stealth triggers automatically on challenge detection)
+npx webpeel "https://amazon.com/dp/ASIN"
 ```
 
-### 🕷️ Crawl & Map
+---
 
-Crawl websites with link following, sitemap discovery, robots.txt compliance, and deduplication.
+## ⚡ Benchmark
 
-```bash
-npx webpeel crawl https://docs.example.com --max-pages 100
-npx webpeel map https://example.com --max-urls 5000
