Price Pulse

Watches competitor product pages and emails you when their prices change.

Nobody has claimed this yet. Be first.

The idea

Small online sellers check competitor prices by hand. Price Pulse visits the product pages you list each day, uses AI to pull the price and stock status even when page layouts differ, and sends a digest of changes. Sellers react faster without spreadsheets.

Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Price Pulse. Start with login and a Tracked Pages list where the user adds a competitor URL, a label, and optionally their own matching product and price.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Create a daily job that fetches each page, strips it to visible text, and asks an AI model to return JSON with product name, price, currency, sale flag and in stock status. Save a history row per check and flag changes from the previous check.
