AI Scout: Persistent Web Monitoring with Custom Alerts
AI Scout is an automated system that continuously scans specified websites and online sources over time, acting as a 24/7 sentry for user-defined topics. Users set persistent queries (e.g., “Tesla stock risks”) and target domains (e.g., SEC filings, financial news), while defining notification rules for when discovered content meets specific criteria. When predefined triggers activate (e.g., a surge in negative sentiment about Tesla stock), the system not only alerts users but also generates a contextual report to explain why the event matters.
For example: “Notify when sentiment analysis detects negative trends about TSLA stock” “Flag any regulatory document updates from government website containing ‘AI liability’”
The system combines scheduled crawling (hourly/daily) with real-time monitoring for high-priority sources. When triggers occur—like a surge in negative keywords or pattern matches in policy texts—it sends prioritized alerts via email or API. Built with adaptability in mind, users can refine rules and adjust crawling depth (e.g., “scan only subpages under /news/”) to balance precision and resource usage.
