Full Release Notes

## ⚡ Performance Improvements

Maxun is now significantly faster across core workflows

* **Extract** → **9.74× faster**
* **Scrape** → **5.71× faster**
* **Crawl** → **5.31× faster**
* **Search** → **2.09× faster**

## ✨ Smart Queries

You can now attach **natural language instructions** to your scraping workflows.

With Smart Queries, Maxun doesn’t just scrape pages — it can **understand and extract exactly what you need** using AI.


### How it works

Add a prompt while creating a scrape robot. After the page is scraped, an LLM analyzes the content and returns a structured answer — no extra setup required.

**Examples**

* *“List all pricing plans and their prices”*
* *“Find the latest blog post title and date”*


### Output

Runs now include a new field

```json
{
  "markdown": "...",
  "html": "...",
  "promptResult": "The pricing plans are: Starter ($9/mo), Growth ($29/mo), Pro ($99/mo)."
}
```

###  Works Via

* Dashboard (No-Code)
* API
* SDK
* CLI
