Competitor Pricing Change Monitor Agent

Competitors change prices and packages without notice, and sales teams often hear about it from customers first. Each week this agent captures competitor pricing pages, public price lists and partner listings and compares them with the last capture. It records every change with the date and a screenshot. Before alerting anyone, it checks whether the change is real or only a regional or promotional variant. Promotions are noted with their end date, and regional changes are logged separately. It then drafts a short alert explaining what changed and what it might mean for sales and pricing. The analyst approves each alert before it goes to sales and pricing teams. All changes go into the pricing log so trends are easy to see. Edge case: a page that blocks access is marked unknown, never unchanged, so a missed change is not hidden.
