  description

  WebSense AI is an intelligent web change monitoring extension that goes beyond simple page comparisons. Powered by AI analysis, it doesn't just tell you *something* changed — it tells you *what* changed and *why it matters*.
  
  🔍 SMART MONITORING
  • Point-and-click element selection — no coding required
  • Monitor prices, stock status, content updates, or any page element
  • Automatic static/dynamic page detection with 4-layer extraction engine
  • Individual check intervals per monitor (5 min to 24 hours)
  
  🧠 AI-POWERED ANALYSIS
  • Understands the *meaning* behind changes, not just text diffs
  • Automatically filters trivial changes (timestamps, counters, session tokens)
  • Classifies change type (price, content, status) and severity (minor/moderate/major)
  • 100 free AI analyses per month — or bring your own OpenAI API key for unlimited use
  
  🔔 FLEXIBLE NOTIFICATIONS
  • Desktop push notifications
  • Webhook support for Slack, Discord, DingTalk (钉钉), Feishu (飞书), WeCom (企业微信)
  • Custom JSON webhook for n8n, Make, Zapier, and any automation platform
  • One-click webhook testing
  
  📊 CHANGE HISTORY
  • Full change log with before/after comparison
  • AI-generated change summaries
  • Track change frequency and patterns over time
  
  ⚡ RELIABLE & LIGHTWEIGHT
  • 4-layer extraction engine: Tab injection → Offscreen DOM → Background Tab → Regex fallback
  • Works with JavaScript-heavy SPAs (React, Vue, Next.js)
  • Runs quietly in the background — no performance impact
  • Bilingual interface (English / 中文) auto-detected
  
  FREE PLAN: Up to 10 monitors, 1-hour minimum interval, 100 AI analyses/month
  PRO PLAN (coming soon): 50 monitors, 5-minute intervals, expanded history & more
  
  Perfect for: price tracking, competitor monitoring, job listing alerts, inventory/stock checks, news & content updates, regulatory changes, and more.

  Stop manually refreshing pages to check for updates. WebSense AI monitors any website for you and sends an alert the moment something changes — whether it's a price drop, a content update, a competitor's new product, or a job posting going live.
  
  Unlike basic page diff tools, WebSense AI uses AI to understand changes. It filters out noise (timestamps, session tokens, counters) and tells you what actually changed and whether it matters.
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  
  1. Visit any web page and click the WebSense AI icon
  2. Point and click to select the element you want to monitor
  3. Set your check interval — done. You'll get notified when it changes.
