Use case

Build a Persistent “Watch and Ping Me” Agent

A low-code pattern for monitoring websites, pulling account data, and assembling recurring lists without building custom integrations.

What happened

Examples include change alerts, weekly comic-release scans, browser-based management of multiple X accounts, Shopify record creation after an approval flow, and small home or gardening automations. The common idea is simple: show the bot the recurring check once, then ask it to keep watching.
