Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When performing web scraping or automation with Ferret, CAPTCHA challenges are a common issue that can block or interrupt workflows. While Ferret offers a great declarative approach, handling CAPTCHAs still requires external tools or manual workarounds.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to have an optional integration or helper in Ferret that allows users to easily connect to CaptchaAI, a cost-effective API for automatic CAPTCHA solving. This would simplify the process for users who face CAPTCHA-protected websites during their scraping tasks.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manual CAPTCHA solving, which is time-consuming and not practical for automation.

Using other CAPTCHA-solving services, but they are often more expensive or complex to set up.

Browser-based tools like Selenium, which adds overhead and defeats the lightweight nature of Ferret.

Additional context
CaptchaAI provides a simple API for solving CAPTCHAs automatically. You can find the API documentation here: https://captchaai.com/api-docs.php

This would be a great optional addition to improve Ferret's usability for dealing with real-world websites that implement CAPTCHA protection.
