Every morning
I check the same product page every morning to see whether the price has dropped.
How it goes now
Open the bookmark.Scroll to the price.Same as yesterday.Close the tab.Tomorrow: again.
Every morning, for weeks.
Tell Kitewell once
Every morning at 7:00, open https://shop.example.com/products/desk in the browser, read the price, compare it with the last run, and email me only if it changed.
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
- You hear from it only on the days the price moves.
- Check the shop's terms first: some sites do not allow automated visits.
- Your computer needs to be on and awake when it runs. A run missed while it slept starts when it wakes, within 24 hours by default.
What it needs
- Google Chrome (or Edge on Windows)
- An Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini model that can use a browser
- A connected mailbox: Gmail, Microsoft 365, iCloud, or any IMAP
More chores
- Every morningEvery morning I read through fifty emails to find the five that actually need me.
- 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.
- Every weekday morningEvery morning I log in to our supplier's portal, download the new invoices, and type each one into an accounting app from 2009.
