The problem it solves

Keeping track of what competitors charge means checking their websites over and over, and prices can change without warning. You either miss the shift or find out about it too late to react.

Who it fits

A business owner or product manager who needs to stay ahead of competitor pricing moves.

How it works

  1. A schedule kicks off the check on a set interval
  2. The system visits competitor websites and pricing pages
  3. AI extracts current prices, products, and promotions
  4. Changes are logged in a spreadsheet
  5. You get an email summary of what changed
What you get

Competitor prices you see the moment they change

You get an email summary whenever a competitor changes prices, with every update logged in a spreadsheet for you.

What you get

An updated pricing spreadsheet and an email alert when competitor prices change.

What you need

A web data access account, an OpenAI account, a Google Workspace account, and an email 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.
