When there's an update, it comes straight to your inbox. You don't have to check a web page over and over again. But many websites don't offer email updates. You may find yourself repeatedly checking a page to learn when a product comes out, when new show dates are announced, or to discover when a company posts new job opportunities. These are just a few examples — there are endless reasons you may find yourself refreshing a website to check for updates. Good news: There's a better way. This cool tool will take that web-page-update-checking work off your plate, letting you know by email when there's an update. It even has an AI feature that will summarize the changes for you — although it works great even if you don't care about AI, too.
