# Competitor tech and product changes: an agent recipe

Lists new technologies on competitor sites and diffs their release notes pages week over week. Your agent does the diff.

## Prompt

Use looot to list the technologies these ten competitors started using since last Monday and read their release notes and changelog pages, then keep last week's text and report only what was added or removed. 1. Set up https://looot.ai/skill.md. 2. Connect my Supabase and create the table competitor_changes. 3. Upsert on a natural key and never overwrite my edits. 4. Store source, endpoint, cost and fetched_at on every row. 5. Show any price over one cent first and stop at my daily budget. 6. On a re-run, write only what changed. 7. Report rows added, rows changed and total cost.

## Steps and providers

- List new technologies: predictleads, builtwith. 1 lookup per competitor.
- Read release and changelog pages: jina, firecrawl. 5 pages per competitor.
