AI Content Checker

Smart website monitoring with AI-powered content change detection and analysis

Monitor any web page for content changes and receive intelligent notifications with AI-powered analysis of what changed. Perfect for tracking competitors, monitoring critical information, or staying informed about updates to important web pages.


🔍 Key Features

  • AI-Powered Change Analysis: Receive detailed summaries of how content has changed, not just that it changed.
  • Visual Comparison: Before/after screenshots of changes for visual confirmation.
  • Smart Notifications: Get email alerts with AI-summarized changes and screenshots.
  • Robust Web Handling: Works on complex sites with dynamic content and anti-bot measures.
  • Selective Monitoring: Monitor specific elements on a page rather than the entire page.
  • Reliable Execution: Multiple retry strategies to ensure successful data extraction.

📋 Use Cases

  • Competitor Monitoring: Track price changes, product features, or marketing messages.
  • News & Publication Tracking: Be the first to know when important content is published.
  • Documentation Monitoring: Stay informed about API or documentation updates.
  • E-commerce Tracking: Monitor product availability, pricing, or specifications.
  • Legal & Compliance: Track terms of service, privacy policies, or regulatory changes.
  • Crisis Management: Keep tabs on news articles or public statements during sensitive situations.

🧠 AI-Powered Analysis

The AI Content Checker doesn't just tell you that something changed—it tells you what changed and how. Our AI integration:

  • Summarizes Changes: Analyzes differences and provides a concise, human-readable summary.
  • Identifies Important Updates: Focuses on meaningful changes while ignoring trivial ones.
  • Contextualizes Changes: Understands the significance of changes in their context.
  • Cleans Content: Automatically filters out navigation elements, ads, and other noise.

Example AI Analysis:

The company has changed its pricing structure. The basic plan increased from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. A new "Enterprise" tier was added at $49.99 with additional features including dedicated support and custom integrations. The free tier remains unchanged.

🚀 Getting Started

Best Practice: Create Dedicated Tasks

We recommend creating separate tasks for each website you want to monitor. This approach offers several advantages:

  • Optimized Configuration: Each task can be configured specifically for its target website.
  • Independent Scheduling: Run different monitors on different schedules as needed.
  • Isolated Error Handling: If one monitor encounters issues, others continue to function.
  • Better Organization: Keep your monitoring efforts neatly organized.
  • Easier Maintenance: Update or modify individual monitors without affecting others.

Example Configuration

Monitoring a Product Page:

1{
2    "url": "https://example.com/product-page",
3    "contentSelector": "#product-description",
4    "sendNotificationTo": "user@example.com",
5    "aiMode": "true",
6    "loaderSelector": "networkidle",
7    "retryStrategy": "on-all-errors"
8}

📊 Understanding the Results

After each run, the system provides:

  • Dataset Records: Detailed information about any changes detected.
  • Key-Value Store: Current and previous content and screenshots.
  • Email Notifications: Summaries of changes with screenshots (if configured).

Each output includes:

  • The original URL monitored.
  • Previous content.
  • Current content.
  • AI-powered analysis of changes (when enabled).
  • Links to before/after screenshots.

🛠️ Advanced Configuration

Handling Complex Websites

For websites with complex loading behavior:

1{
2    "url": "https://complex-site.com/dynamic-page",
3    "contentSelector": ".dynamic-content",
4    "loaderSelector": "networkidle",
5    "navigationTimeout": 60000,
6    "retryStrategy": "on-all-errors",
7    "maxRetries": 5
8}

Monitoring Multiple Elements

You can create separate tasks to monitor different elements on the same page:

Task 1: Monitor Pricing

1{
2    "url": "https://example.com/product",
3    "contentSelector": ".price-container",
4    "sendNotificationTo": "pricing@example.com"
5}

Task 2: Monitor Features

1{
2    "url": "https://example.com/product",
3    "contentSelector": ".feature-list",
4    "sendNotificationTo": "product@example.com"
5}

📈 Scheduling

For optimal monitoring, schedule your tasks to run at appropriate intervals:

  • Critical updates: Every few hours or daily.
  • Competitor monitoring: Daily or weekly.
  • Documentation changes: Weekly.

Remember that more frequent checks may require additional proxy rotation to avoid being blocked by websites.


🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  • No content detected: Check your CSS selector and ensure it targets the right element.
  • Page blocking: Adjust the retry strategy or decrease check frequency.
  • Timeout errors: Increase the navigation timeout for slow-loading pages.

Improving Detection Accuracy

  • Use specific CSS selectors to target only the content you care about.
  • Enable aiMode for smarter change detection and filtering.
  • Test your selectors in browser developer tools before configuring.
