The problem it solves

Checking competitor prices by hand across a full catalog is tedious and you're always a step behind. By the time you notice you're overpriced or underpriced, you've already lost sales or margin.

Who it fits

E-commerce store owners and product managers who compete on price.

How it works

  1. A daily schedule checks your product catalog
  2. The system searches for live competitor prices for each product
  3. It compares your price to the market and flags pricing gaps
  4. Critical gaps trigger an instant Slack alert
  5. You receive a daily summary by Slack and email with suggested prices
What you get

Pricing gaps flagged before you lose sales

You get a daily heads-up on how your prices compare to competitors, with alerts the moment a gap needs your attention.

What you get

A daily pricing report with suggested prices and instant alerts for critical gaps.

What you need

Google Sheets, a Slack workspace, a Gmail account, and a search data API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
