## Briefing
- Zyte: Zyte announced a new extraction mode in its API that converts web page main content directly into clean, structured Markdown.

## Why it matters
This release targets the growing demand for clean, structured web data to feed AI models and RAG pipelines. By offering Markdown directly, Zyte reduces the need for developers to post-process HTML, potentially simplifying data ingestion workflows. It also positions Zyte as a provider of AI-ready data, competing with other extraction services that may not offer native Markdown output.

## Watch next
Will Zyte's Markdown mode support custom CSS selectors or only main content extraction?
