A Monday-morning report on what your competitors are up to

Every Monday an AI checks your competitors' websites, prices, news and even their job adverts, then sends you a short report. Job adverts are a clue: a competitor hiring sales staff in Penang is probably expanding there.

💬 Monday competitor brief
Every Monday at [8 a.m.], check these competitors: [name – website – price page – jobs page] (repeat for each).
Report in under 1 page:
1. Price or package changes (with old and new price, MYR)
2. New products, projects or launches
3. News and announcements
4. Job adverts: what roles and where, and what that suggests they are planning
5. One thing I should consider doing this week
If a website could not be read, say so clearly instead of saying 'no change'. Include links for everything.
