His AI watches cooker prices and messages him when something moves

A man looking for a new cooker has an AI running on a virtual machine keeping an eye on prices for him. The agent created its own scheduled job that runs the price checks and messages him if anything interesting has happened since the last check.

How it works

  1. He tells his AI to keep an eye on cooker prices
  2. The agent creates a scheduled job that runs the scrapes
  3. It compares each check with the last
  4. It messages him when something interesting changes

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent set up its own checking schedule; he just waits for the message that says look now.
