Alertly

Staying on top of what's happening across the web is a full-time job. Competitor launches, breaking API changes, brand mentions, security patches, trending discussions — the information is scattered across Reddit, Hacker News, Twitter, forums, blogs, and news sites. No one has time to check all of these every day. Google Alerts barely scratches the surface. It misses most of the web — no Reddit, no HN, no forums, no Twitter. And the results it does send are 90% irrelevant.

What Alertly Does Alertly is an AI-powered web monitoring tool that tracks any topic across thousands of sources and delivers only what matters — straight to your Slack or email or any other mediums you want.

Describe what you want to monitor in plain English. Alertly automatically expands your topic into optimised search queries, searches across the web, and uses AI to score every result for relevance. The noise gets filtered out. Only actionable results get delivered.

How It Works

1. Describe your topic: Use plain English like "Cloudflare API breaking changes" or "people comparing Notion alternatives on Reddit."

2. Pick your schedule: Hourly for time-sensitive alerts, or daily/weekly digests.

3. Choose your channel: Slack with rich Block Kit messages or beautifully formatted email digests.

4. Get filtered results: AI scores every result for relevance, importance, and actionability.

5. Give feedback: Use thumbs up/down on results. Alertly learns your preferences and improves accuracy over time.

Key Use Cases

• Dependency & Security Monitoring: Catch API deprecations or security patches the moment they surface on developer forums or change logs.

• Competitor Tracking: Know when a competitor changes pricing or launches a new feature without manually stalking their site.

• Social Listening & Lead Gen: Find high-intent posts like "looking for an alternative to X" on Reddit or Twitter and be the first to respond.

• Brand Monitoring: Track mentions and sentiment across the broader web in real-time.

I’d love to hear how you all currently stay updated on your industry or if there are specific sources you wish were easier to track!
