A competitive intelligence analyst that reads the whole market so you don't have to
The whole market, read for you: it watches competitor pricing, changelogs, and job boards and drops a cited brief the moment something moves.
It watches competitor pricing pages, changelogs, and careers boards, then drops a cited brief in your inbox when something actually moves.
The pricing change you found three weeks late cost you two deals
Competitor intel rots fast. A rival quietly drops their starter tier, ships a feature your sales team kept losing on, or posts six backend roles that telegraph a platform rebuild — and you find out from a churned customer's exit note. The work isn't hard, it's just constant: someone has to open the pricing page, diff the changelog, read the careers listing, and write it down before it's stale.
This agent does the opening and the diffing. Give it a list of competitors and the pages you care about, and it browses them on a schedule — including the JavaScript-heavy single-page apps that a basic scraper returns as an empty div. When a number on a pricing page changes or a new changelog entry lands, it records the old and new value, pulls the source URL, and writes a short brief: what changed, when, and why it might matter to you.
What it actually pulls together:
- Pricing and packaging shifts — tier names, prices, what moved between plans, with before and after side by side
- Changelog and release-note entries, summarized and tagged by the product area they touch
- Hiring signals from their careers page — which functions are growing, which roles hint at a roadmap
- Funding, press, and exec moves surfaced from web search, each line carrying its source link
- A running history in a Sheet or datastore, so you can see the trajectory, not just today's snapshot
Everything it reports is cited. No claim lands in your brief without a URL behind it, and the raw findings stay in a structured store you can query later. You're not trusting a summary — you're reading a sourced one.

Frequently asked questions
Can it read pricing pages built with React or loaded behind a script?
Yes. It does a full-page browse that renders JavaScript, so single-page-app pricing tables and dynamically loaded changelogs come back with real content instead of an empty shell. Basic scrapers usually miss these.
How does it avoid spamming me with the same page every day?
It diffs each check against the previous one and only briefs you when something actually changed — a price, a tier, a new changelog entry, a new role. A quiet week means a quiet inbox.
Where do the findings live?
Each change is logged to a Google Sheet or a private datastore the agent maintains, with timestamps and source URLs. You can ask it to query that history later — 'show me every pricing change at Competitor X this quarter.'
Can it cover competitors that don't publish a public changelog?
It falls back to web search, their blog, press coverage, and careers page. Hiring patterns and funding news are often the earliest signal a roadmap is shifting, even when the changelog is silent.
Will every claim in the brief have a source?
Yes. It carries the source URL for each line. If it can't find a source for something, it says so rather than asserting it. The raw findings stay stored, so you can audit any claim.
How much does it cost?
$49/month or $490/year — cancel anytime. Setup runs about four minutes — name the agent, paste your competitor list and the pages to watch, pick a check schedule. It's in public beta.
