# Introduction

> Documentation for Titan: web intelligence, automation, and structured extraction through tasks, workers, and public APIs.

Titan is a **web intelligence and automation** platform. You define **tasks** that describe what to collect— from classic **URL lists and output schemas** to **modular** flows that combine **search**, **crawl**, **scrape**, and **HTTP API** steps. Titan runs that work on **managed workers**, tracks every **execution**, and exposes **structured results**, **datasets**, and **media** through stable HTTP APIs and the dashboard.

Use these docs to learn the platform model, integrate with the **Task Service**, and see how billing, analytics, and worker types fit around the same task and execution identifiers.

  New to Titan? Read [What is Titan Web Scraping?](/get-started/what-is-titan-web-scraping) and [What can you build?](/get-started/what-can-you-build), then follow the [Quickstart](/get-started/quickstart-run-your-first-task). Prefer a system map first? Open [Architecture](/about-platform/architecture-overview).
