Automatically track competitor pricing, hiring, and news daily

Every day, AI scans competitor sites and turns pricing, hiring, and news changes into a simple report.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Any that apply are taken; runs once per one per competitor website.

The problem it solves

You know competitors change prices, launch new products, and hire quietly, but you don't have time to check every site every day. By the time you notice a shift, you're reacting instead of planning ahead.

Who it fits

Product managers or business owners who need to keep tabs on competitor moves.

How it works

  1. Runs on a set schedule each day
  2. The system checks a list of competitor websites, pricing pages, and job listings
  3. AI reads the pages and pulls out what changed, such as new prices, new hires, or notable news
  4. Results are logged in Google Sheets so you can track trends over time
  5. A summary is sent to your email or WhatsApp so you stay current without checking manually
What you get

Competitor moves you learn about first

You get a daily rundown of competitor price changes, new hires, and news, delivered straight to your inbox or WhatsApp.

What you get

A running Google Sheets log of competitor changes plus a daily summary delivered to your email or phone.

What you need

An OpenAI or Claude account, a Google account, and a WhatsApp Business account.

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.
