An interesting idea! So - is my query dependant on the latest scrape date for <whatever> AI? If yes, then this has an obvious problem in that cadence for AI scraping is vague at best. If the answer is 'no' -- where are your sourcing the answer to the question I am asking?

The answers provided by the app are sourced directly from the web, and the LLM is used as 1. tool learner/selector 2. query interpreter 3. page understanding and response generation. The answer includes citations from the sources used.

For example. Query: What is the temperature in Seattle? Answer: 17°C Alert Setup: Alert me if it reaches 23°C.

The app continuously monitors the source for updates on the queried information. In this example, the temperature data is regularly checked against the alert condition set by the user.

The real-time aspect depends on how frequently we scrape data using scheduled jobs. Currently, the app checks the data at set intervals (6 hours) to ensure timely notifications.

Using shorter intervals could be a premium feature.
