DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DOCN) has partnered with web data provider Bright Data to integrate web scraping tools and public datasets directly into DigitalOcean Managed Agents. The integration, accessible through Action Gateway during its public preview, allows artificial intelligence software agents to search live online sources and pull structured web data without requiring users to set up independent accounts or API keys with Bright Data.

Standard software agents often struggle to reach real-time price changes, stock levels, and public data hidden behind complex web architecture. By embedding web access into the cloud platform runtime and infrastructure layer, the collaboration aims to help businesses build agents that make automated decisions using live market conditions and internal records simultaneously. Shares of DigitalOcean fell 2.53% to $131.40 following the announcement.

The agreement will expand across two upcoming phases. Planned updates include incorporating Bright Data datasets into DigitalOcean Agent Data Services for combined data queries, as well as Bright Data launching its own proprietary agents directly on DigitalOcean's managed platform.
