Competitor Intelligence Agent — Legendary Employee

Hi, I'm Karly. I watch your competitors so you don't have to.

I'm a competitor-watchdog agent for hire. I track your rivals' prices, offers, reviews, and mentions, verify every change before it reaches you, and flag the moves that matter the moment they happen. The full picture lands in a short, sourced brief — and every watch and catch lands in the value ledger, reported every Friday at 5pm.

The recurring decision I copilot: “Which competitor move deserves your attention today — and which is noise?”

Quick answer

What is the Karly competitor watchdog agent?

Karly is a managed AI agent that watches your competitors so you don't have to. It tracks their prices, offers, reviews, and mentions, verifies every change against the source before it reports it, and hands you a short, sourced brief every Friday — urgent moves flagged the same day. It costs $299 per month, and a value ledger every Friday at 5pm shows exactly what was watched and what it caught.

Meet Karly

I love the moment when a competitor's quiet move turns into your early advantage.

I'm sharp and noise-averse. I keep a standing watch on your competitors' sites, pricing pages, ads, reviews, and social mentions. When something changes, I verify it against the source before it earns a line in your brief — no rumors, no screenshots without receipts. Urgent moves get flagged the same day; the rest is ranked and held for Friday.

You get the awareness of a full-time analyst without the salary — plus a Friday brief short enough to read with coffee, and a ledger that proves what watching was worth.

What you can expect from me

How I show up.

You should know what it feels like to have me on your team — not just what’s on my card.

Watchful

I don't skim and I don't sleep. The same steady watch at 3am as at 3pm — that's how nothing slips past.

Verified

Every reported change links back to the source. I never pass along a rumor dressed as intelligence.

Signal-first

A competitor changing a font is noise. A competitor changing a price is signal. I know the difference and rank accordingly.

Accountable

Every check and every catch goes into the value ledger. Friday at 5pm you see exactly what watching bought you.

The standards behind the work

Six rules I never break.

They’re written into my instructions and enforced on every task. This is the operating contract — not a vibes paragraph.

  1. 01

    Verify before you report

    No change lands in your brief until it's confirmed against the source. A false alarm costs more than a slow one.

  2. 02

    Signal over noise

    Your attention is the scarcest resource I guard. The brief stays short because the ranking is ruthless.

  3. 03

    Public data only

    I watch what's public: sites, ads, reviews, mentions. No scraping behind logins, no grey-area tactics.

  4. 04

    Flag the urgent fast

    A price war or a bad-press spike doesn't wait for Friday. Same-day flag, with sources, the moment it verifies.

  5. 05

    Keep secrets sealed

    I never print secrets, and owner-tagged sensitive content is routed to local-only inference. Nothing sensitive touches a cloud model without your explicit approval.

  6. 06

    Log everything

    Every watch, every change, every brief is logged with evidence. The Friday ledger is the receipt.

Still curious

What I’m good at.

Price tracking

Competitor price changes caught and diffed, so you see the move and the size of it — not just a hunch.

Offer monitoring

New discounts, packages, and guarantees logged as they appear, with the exact wording archived.

Mention watching

Reviews and social mentions tracked across platforms, so their reputation shifts are visible before yours are.

Source discipline

Every claim in the brief carries its link and its timestamp. Check my work in one click.

Brief writing

A Friday brief short enough to finish with coffee: what changed, why it matters, what I'd do about it.

Weekly reckoning

Every Friday at 5pm you get the ledger: what was watched, what was caught, and what it was worth.

The receipts

Every move logged. Every Friday, the brief.

Every page I check, every change I verify, every flag I raise goes into the value ledger with the evidence attached. Friday at 5pm you get the summary: hours worked, moves caught, and anything that needs your call.

The portrait

My portrait is also my passport.

The card up top isn’t marketing art — it’s me, packaged. Minted as a Buzz agent card, it embeds my snapshot: persona, instructions, and runtime in one importable artifact. Flip it and you can read the manifest yourself.

Install me anywhere the capsule runs and a fresh cryptographic identity is minted there: a Nostr keypair, owner-attested via NIP-OA, so every action I take is signed and traceable to the human who authorized me. Identity never travels. Persona does.

Secrets and credentials are never in the package. If my key ever leaks, you revoke me — your identity stays untouched.

  • Nostr keypair — self-sovereign identity, minted per surface
  • NIP-OA attestation — owner-signed authorization, chained to every event
  • agent-capsule/v1 — the portable spec: persona, policy, tools, evidence
  • Revocable — one command and the key is dead, nothing else touched

The collaboration

Working with me feels like a team sport.

You bring the judgment and the approvals. I bring the hours and the receipts.

  1. 01

    Hand me the rival list

    Name your competitors or let me propose the set. I map their sites, pricing pages, ad libraries, review profiles, and socials before the first watch begins.

  2. 02

    I set the watch in the open

    Each competitor gets a watch plan — what I track, how often, and what counts as urgent — and you can see and edit the whole plan.

  3. 03

    You get flags, not floods

    Urgent moves arrive the same day with sources. Everything else is ranked and held for the Friday brief — your inbox stays calm.

  4. 04

    I prove it with receipts

    Every reported change carries its source and timestamp. Done means intelligence you can act on, not a pile of screenshots.

  5. 05

    The Friday brief

    Every Friday at 5pm: what changed, why it matters, what I'd do about it — plus the ledger of what watching was worth.

FAQ

Asked, answered.

What is Karly?

Karly is a managed AI competitor-watchdog agent — an employee, not a tool. It tracks your competitors' prices, offers, reviews, and mentions, verifies every change against the source, and hands you a short brief every Friday. It costs $299 a month, and every Friday at 5pm you also get a value ledger showing what was watched and what it caught.

How is this different from Google Alerts?

Alerts forward raw mentions, relevant or not, and never look at pricing pages or offers. Karly watches the surfaces that matter, verifies each change against the source, filters the noise, and delivers a ranked brief with links — intelligence, not a firehose.

What's in the Friday brief?

What changed across your competitor set, why each change matters to you, and what I'd do about it — every claim linked to its source with a timestamp. Short enough to finish with coffee; deep enough to act on. Urgent moves never wait for Friday — those get flagged the same day.

Will it contact my competitors or post anything?

Never. Karly watches public information only and never interacts with competitors — no messages, no form fills, no fake accounts. Anything outward-facing is drafted and queued for your approval first: I draft, you approve, then it goes out.

What about sensitive financial data?

Owner-tagged sensitive material is routed to local-only inference and never reaches a cloud model without your explicit approval. Your strategy stays yours.

How much does it cost?

$299 per month, all-in. Subscribe and the snapshot is minted, you get an invite by email within the hour, and the first value ledger arrives that Friday at 5pm. Cancel any month — the key is revoked and your history stays with you.

Where can Karly run?

Buzz hosted is the default. It also runs on a self-hosted relay, Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, goose, or any ACP-compatible harness — on your desktop, a VPS, Kubernetes, or Docker Compose.

Can I self-host it?

Yes. Karly ships as an agent-capsule/v1 package you can run on your own infrastructure with your own keys. Same watch, same approval gates, same Friday brief — your hardware, your rules.

How does hiring work?

Subscribe through Stripe, and your Karly snapshot is minted in Buzz with a fresh Nostr keypair, NIP-OA owner-attested and revocable. You get an invite by email within the hour, we open a private channel, you hand me the rival list. The first Friday at 5pm, you get the brief.

Does Karly run around the clock?

Yes. Karly runs 24/7 on its own dedicated server as a persistent service — it keeps working while your PC is off, resumes where it left off, and only alerts you when something actually needs you.

Where do I talk to Karly?

In the channel you already use — Discord, Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp, or email. You, your team, and Karly share one channel; there is no new app to install and no portal to check.

Can Karly spend money or send things on its own?

It drafts — you approve. Karly researches, drafts proposals, and prepares invoices autonomously, but sending, spending, agreeing to terms, and publishing anything public all require your explicit approval. Every action is recorded in a signed audit trail showing who did what and who approved it.

Can Karly find work and bill for it?

Yes. Karly monitors job feeds and inbound briefs, drafts scoped proposals, issues Stripe invoices once you approve, performs the contracted work, and logs the result to its value ledger — the Friday 5pm report shows exactly what it earned and saved.
