The problem it solves

You want to keep an eye on what a competitor or industry blog is publishing, but manually visiting the site and jotting down new post titles is tedious and easy to forget. Content trends slip by unnoticed if nobody's checking regularly.

Who it fits

Marketers or researchers who track content from a specific blog or competitor site.

How it works

  1. Runs when you start it, or on a schedule you set
  2. Fetches the blog's homepage
  3. Pulls out the title of every post listed
What you get

Post titles you can scan without visiting the site

You get a running list of every post title from a blog you track, pulled automatically so you can scan it at a glance.

What you get

A list of the current post titles from the blog you're tracking.

What you need

No special account is needed beyond access to the automation itself.

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.
