  • Mac or Windows desktop app

Connect Claude

Every bot runs on Claude, Anthropic's AI. The first time you open the app, it'll ask you to connect.

Already have Claude?

Sign in and you're done — nothing extra to pay. PriceTracker runs on the subscription you already have.

Need Claude first?

Subscribe at claude.ai (~$20/mo to Anthropic), then connect it. Full pricing →

A single tracker runs fine on the base Claude plan — you don't need a bigger tier to start.

Add a bot and describe the job

Click Add a bot. You'll give it two things: a name and a task written in plain English. Name it something you'll recognize — PriceTracker, or the actual thing you're watching like MonitorDeal.

In the Task box, type it the way you'd ask a person. For a price watch, paste your link and say:

"Check the price on [paste your link] every morning and tell me if it changes. If it drops below $1,200, make that clear."

There's no special syntax and no wrong way to phrase it. You can start from Blank slate (shown here) or Browse templates for a head start.

The real Add a bot screen — name on top, plain-English task in the box, schedule below.

Tell it when to check

Turn on Run automatically and pick a schedule. For most price watches, Every Morning is perfect — you wake up to a note either way. Moving fast on a deal? Switch it to check every hour.

The schedule control in bots.team: a Run automatically toggle turned on, a Regular Schedule tab selected, set to run Every Morning at 08:00 AM, with Next run in 18h
Set it to Regular Schedule → Every Morning at 8:00 AM. The app shows the next run time so you know it's live. There are also "Specific Time" and "When Something Happens" options.
Watching a few things? Make one bot per item — a flight, a laptop, a competitor page — and they'll each report on the same schedule.

Set your ground rules

A price tracker only needs to read one public page — nothing on your computer. Defaults keep it in that lane:

  • "Never search or browse your other files" is on by default
  • Can't install software, change your OS, or run system commands
  • One-time "use AI responsibly" acknowledgment — then you're set

Read the report

From now on it runs on schedule and leaves a clean report each time — headline, short summary, tracked prices as stats. Most mornings: quiet "no change." The day the price moves, it says so plainly.

MonitorDeal Report
Monitor Dropped to $1,149 — First Time Under Your $1,200 Line
Price move this run: the monitor you're watching fell from $1,299 to $1,149 overnight — the first time it's crossed your $1,200 threshold since I started checking on July 2. Same seller, same shipping terms, so it reads like a real markdown rather than a listing swap.

The report your tracker leaves after each run — headline, plain-English summary, and the tracked price as stats. This one's the morning the price finally moved.

When a price drops, you get the note — you decide whether to buy. It never buys anything itself.

Shortcut

Or let us write the instruction for you

Paste a link and we'll hand the bot the job already written — opens bots.team pre-filled so there's nothing left to type.
