Every morning
Every morning I open our competitors' pages for forty products and copy each price into a spreadsheet.
How it goes now
Open the sheet.Copy the first link.Open it.Close the cookie banner.Find the price.In stock?Back to the sheet. Type both in.Next link.Product 2 of 40.
Forty pages, every morning.
Tell Kitewell once
Build a workflow with inputs PRODUCT and URL that opens the URL in the browser and reads the price and whether it can be ordered now. I will run it every morning at 7:00 over a sheet of our competitors' product pages.
That's the whole setup. Kitewell lays out every step for you to check, and nothing is saved until you apply it.
Then it runs on its own

Good to know
- The sheet copies the price the website step read, rather than having a model read it again, so each morning compares the same number.
- On Personal or Team, one alert after the morning run says what changed by column, such as “Price: 3 dropped, 1 rose”. Nothing comes when nothing changed.
- The sheet runs on this computer while it is awake and Kitewell is running. A morning missed while it slept runs once when it is back, unless the next run is nearer.
- Check each site's terms first: some sites do not allow automated visits.
What it needs
- Google Chrome (or Edge on Windows)
- An Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini model that can use a browser
More chores
- Every morningI check the same product page every morning to see whether the price has dropped.
- Every new listI open each company's website from a list and write down what they do, how big they are, and where they're based.
- Whenever new orders come inI go down an order list in Excel, place each order on a supplier's website, and type the receipt number back into the sheet.
