Track competitor prices daily and get instant Telegram alerts

Checks competitor product pages every day and pings you on Telegram the moment a price changes.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per one per tracked product.

The problem it solves

Watching competitor prices means visiting the same product pages over and over, hoping you catch a change before it costs you a sale. Doing that by hand for more than a few products doesn't scale.

Who it fits

E-commerce store owners or small business owners who compete on price and want to react fast to changes.

How it works

  1. Every day, on a set schedule, the price check runs automatically
  2. It scrapes the competitor product pages you're tracking
  3. It compares each price against the last known value
  4. AI writes a short alert when a price actually changes
  5. You get a Telegram message with the product, old price, new price, and a link
What you get

Price moves you hear about the same day

You get a Telegram alert the same day a competitor's price changes, with the old price, new price, and a link.

What you get

A running price history for each product and an instant Telegram alert whenever a price moves.

What you need

A ZenRows API key, an OpenAI API key, and a Telegram bot.

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.
