Hi HN,

I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on: ScoutlyAI—a tool that simplifies tracking competitors’ social media and online activity.

The idea came from my own frustration with how scattered and time-consuming it is to keep an eye on competitors. I wanted something that could monitor multiple sources (like websites, Instagram, and X), summarize the important updates, and present actionable insights—all in one place.

ScoutlyAI does just that: • You create “scouts” for competitors by selecting sources you want to track. • It uses AI to distill changes (like posts, updates, or website edits) into summaries called “Insights.” • Everything is displayed in a clean dashboard, and you get periodic email updates to stay in the loop.

Building this has been a challenging but rewarding journey. From tackling the complexities of AI summarization to creating a user-friendly interface, it’s been a huge learning experience. I’m constantly improving the platform and adding new features to make it even more useful.

I’d love for you to check it out at https://scoutlyai.com and share your thoughts. There’s a free trial (credit card required), and your feedback would mean a lot to me as I continue refining the tool.

Thanks for taking a look, and I hope ScoutlyAI helps make tracking competitors a breeze for you too!

Having to enter a credit card to start the trial is a massive turn off. Especially at this stage of the product. This will turn of a lot of people from providing any meaningful feedback from HN community.

I remember there are a bunch of similar projects, do you have a demo with ScoutlyAI's competitors?
