# AI Account Watch - Custom Sales Trigger Alerts for Any Company List

It watches a list of companies and alerts you when one of them does what you describe in plain English - raises funding, hires a new CMO, opens a location, gets sued. AI reads fresh Google News for every company and rule, alerts only on real, new events with source links and an evidence quote, never repeats an event, and delivers to email, Slack, Discord, Telegram or a webhook. No API key needed.

## FAQ

### What can a trigger rule be?

Anything you can describe in one sentence: announces a funding round, hires a new CMO, opens a location in Texas, announces layoffs, launches a product, is hit by a data breach. There is no fixed menu of signal types.

### How is it different from Google Alerts?

Google Alerts fires on every article that mentions a name. This actor has AI read each article and alert only when that company really did what the rule says, as a recent event, and groups fifteen articles about one funding round into a single alert.

### Will I get the same event twice?

No. Alerted events are remembered per watchlist, so overlapping lookback windows and follow-up articles never produce a repeat alert.

### How much does it cost?

It is pay per event: $0.002 per company rule check and $0.01 per new trigger alert on the free tier, lower on paid Apify plans. AI model usage is billed separately by Apify's OpenRouter integration.

### Do I need an OpenAI or OpenRouter API key?

No. The AI runs on Apify's built-in access out of the box; you can add your own OpenRouter key if you prefer.

### Does it work outside the US?

Yes. You pick from 39 countries' Google News editions and the news language, and your rules can stay in English.
