What it does

This agent watches a short list of high-priority competitor plans on a tight schedule and raises an urgent alert the instant a price falls past a threshold you set, so your team can react the same day instead of next week.

When to use it

Use it for the handful of head-to-head plans where a competitor undercut would directly threaten deals in flight. Pair it with the weekly digest agent: the digest covers everything broadly, this one covers your most contested SKUs in near real time.

How it works

A frequent schedule (for example every two hours) triggers the run. Firecrawl scrapes the specific pricing pages you flagged as critical. An OpenAI step parses the current price for each watched plan. A logic step compares each price against the per-plan threshold stored alongside the watchlist; if nothing crossed a threshold the run ends quietly. When a drop is detected, the agent opens a PagerDuty incident for on-call awareness and posts a tagged, high-urgency message to the deal-team Slack channel with the old and new prices.
