Watch five competitor sites for weekly price changes
An agent checked five brand sites each Monday, compared them with the prior week, and emailed a change report with screenshots.
- What they did
- A user gave QwenWork a one-time instruction to review five brand sites every Monday at 9 AM. On each run, the agent opened the sites, matched current prices against the previous week’s snapshot, and noted changes like price increases, markdowns, and promotions. It also saved a timestamped screenshot for each change it found.
- How it went
- The report arrived automatically every Monday at 9 AM with each detected change listed. The system used the earlier snapshot as the baseline for comparison and attached screenshots for review.
- Tips
- Set a fixed schedule and a clear place to store the prior snapshot, or comparisons get messy. If you want the agent to act on a change, make it pause for approval before sending anything or making updates.
