Alert your team when a top-rated new game launches

Checks new game reviews every few hours and posts a Discord alert when one scores high enough to matter.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats recheck for new games; runs once per one per qualifying game.

The problem it solves

You want to know the moment a genuinely great new game hits the market, whether you're tracking trends for a store, a media outlet, or a fan community. Checking review sites yourself all day is a distraction, and by the time you notice, everyone else already knows.

Who it fits

Game retailers, media outlets, or community managers who need to know about standout new game releases as they happen.

How it works

  1. Every few hours the system checks for newly reviewed games
  2. It filters for games with both a high critic score and enough reviews to be credible
  3. It checks whether that game has already been reported to avoid repeats
  4. For new standout games, it pulls extra details like a trailer link
  5. A formatted alert with the score and trailer is posted to Discord
What you get

Standout new games you hear about first

You get an instant alert the moment a highly rated new game launches, so your team can react fast.

What you get

A Discord alert naming the game, its critic score, and a link to its trailer.

What you need

A RapidAPI account for OpenCritic and a Discord server with a bot set up.

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.
