The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Design a system to track competitor pricing and packaging changes with minimal effort. Competitors and their pricing pages: [COMPETITOR_LIST]. What I need to know: [DECISIONS_TO_SUPPORT]. Tools I have: [TOOLS].

Part 1: Return a JSON template, valid and with no comments, describing one monitoring record: keys "competitor", "plan_name", "price", "currency", "billing_period", "included_features" (array), "limits" (object), "discount_notes", "source_url", "date_captured", "captured_by", "change_since_last" (string or null), "confidence" (high, medium, low), and "notes". Include two filled example records using made-up data.

Part 2: List a capture routine, in plain text: how often to check, where to save screenshots and archives, and how to record changes.

Part 3: Write a reusable analysis prompt I can paste along with two JSON snapshots to get back a change summary, a plain-language interpretation, and suggested questions for my own pricing.

Part 4: Legal and ethical rules (public information only, no login scraping, no pretending to be a customer) [VERIFY with an adviser].

{"competitor": "Northwind Tools", "plan_name": "Team", "price": 49, "currency": "USD", "billing_period": "monthly per user", "included_features": ["10 projects", "email support"], "limits": {"storage_gb": 50}, "discount_notes": "20% off annual", "source_url": "https://example.com/pricing", "date_captured": "2026-10-01", "captured_by": "AL", "change_since_last": "Price up from 39; storage down from 100 GB", "confidence": "high", "notes": "Screenshot saved as northwind-2026-10-01.png"}
Routine: check on the first Monday of each month, save a dated screenshot, and record changes in one line. Use public pages only, never a login or a pretend customer account. Analysis prompt: paste two JSON snapshots and ask for a change summary, a plain interpretation, and three questions this raises for our own pricing and packaging.

Illustrative only, made-up data. Your results will differ and must be reviewed.
