Get an alert the moment a vendor's documentation changes

Checks a vendor's documentation site every day and sends you a plain-language summary the moment something changes.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each documentation page.

The problem it solves

You rely on a vendor's API or software documentation staying accurate, but updates happen without warning and can quietly break your integrations. Checking the docs by hand every day isn't realistic for you or your team.

Who it fits

Developers and integration teams who depend on a vendor's documentation staying current and need to know immediately when it changes.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system checks the vendor's documentation site for changes
  2. It compares every page against yesterday's version
  3. AI summarizes what actually changed in plain language
  4. You get a message with the summary; if nothing changed, you hear nothing
What you get

Vendor doc changes you catch the same day

You get a plain-language summary the moment a vendor changes their documentation.

What you get

A plain-language change summary delivered as a message, only when the documentation actually changes.

What you need

A Postgres database, a web scraping account, an AI account, and a messaging account for alerts.

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.
