Frequently asked

Is AyeWatch better than Google Alerts for reporters?

Yes — it covers sources Google Alerts misses (Reddit, filings, specific pages), summarizes what changed instead of dumping raw hits, and supports Slack delivery so a team can triage together.

Can I monitor a specific reporter or competitor outlet?

Yes — point AyeWatch at any URL (e.g. a competitor's politics section) and get alerted when new content appears.
