Frequently Asked Questions
How many competitors can I track?
There is no hard limit. The agent can monitor as many competitor URLs as you need. For practical purposes, we recommend starting with 3-5 key competitors and expanding as you validate the output quality.
Will I get alerted to pricing changes immediately?
With daily cron checks, you will know within 24 hours of any pricing change. For more time-sensitive monitoring, you can increase check frequency to every few hours on critical pages.
Can the agent predict competitor moves?
The agent does not predict the future, but it can identify patterns: hiring trends that signal new product directions, blog post frequency changes, job listing themes, and strategic shifts in messaging. These signals often precede public announcements.
