What Understand URL Does
Understand URL reads and extracts content from any webpage you share. It processes the text, information, and context on the page, not the visual design. Understand URL extracts:- Page content and copy
- Article text and information
- Documentation and guides
- Product descriptions
- Feature lists and specifications
- Any textual content
