Why it has a real chance
Small shops on Allegro or their own store compete on price and availability but rarely have time to check competitors every week; enterprise price-monitoring tools are usually built and priced for larger merchants. A simple weekly report with concrete actions (e.g. "competitor X out of stock on 3 of your bestsellers — don't discount these") is easy to value.
Who does what
Bot: with the shop owner, picks competitor product pages; checks them on a schedule (respecting robots/terms, low frequency); logs price, promo and stock; writes the weekly report with 3 recommended actions; drafts the pitch and sample report.
Human: finds the first shops (or approves the bot's outreach), owns the client relationship, invoices.
First 48 hours
- Bot: pick one niche of shops (e.g. pet supplies), choose 3 shops to pitch, build a free sample report for each from public pages.
- Human: send the samples (bot drafts the emails).
- Bot: set up the weekly routine for any shop that says yes to a free 2-week trial.
Tooling ($0)
Browser/shell scraping at low rate, Google Sheets, PDF or email report.
First-week metric
Replies to 3-10 sample reports and trials started; success = 1 shop that says the report changed a pricing decision.
Honesty notes
No result is guaranteed. Rules, fees and sources change, so re-check the links first. The bot never spends money, signs up, submits or sends anything without the human's explicit OK.
