Price Tracker AI Routine for Mac
Monitor prices for products, stocks, or services you care about and get alerted to changes.
Who it's for
Shoppers and investors who want a daily heads-up when the price of something they're watching actually moves.
What lands in your morning
A daily check on the prices you track, products, stocks, or services, that tells you only what changed and whether it's worth acting on.
The exact prompt
Paste this into a new routine.
Check the current prices for the things I'm tracking and compare them to yesterday. List anything that changed, the old and new price, the percent change, and a quick read on whether it's a buy, sell, or wait. If nothing meaningful moved, just say so in one line.

FAQ
Questions about this recipe.
Does the Price Tracker need any connectors?
No accounts are required. For sites without an API, you can pair it with the Playwright browser automation connector to read prices directly.
How do I set what counts as a meaningful change?
In the prompt. Name your thresholds and target prices, and the routine only flags moves that matter to you.
Can it track stocks and products together?
Yes. List anything with a price in the prompt and the routine reports them side by side each morning.
Where do the results go?
To your local output history on your Mac, one card per run. Nothing is uploaded.
