TinyFish Monitor is a scheduled web watcher built for developers and AI agents that already use TinyFish's APIs for live web access. Users point it at either a specific URL or a search topic, describe in plain English what they care about, and Monitor handles the checking, comparing, and judging, only surfacing a result when the named condition actually occurs. The launch matters right now because teams building agent workflows have been hand-rolling this loop themselves, wiring cron jobs to diff scripts and burning agent context on pages where nothing changed.
Under the hood, Monitor supports two target types. A Page target fetches a URL fresh on every check with no cache, keeps a snapshot, and diffs it against the last one for use cases like pricing pages, changelogs, and status pages. A Topic target reruns a search with a recency window and flags results that weren't there before, useful for funding news, job posts, or new regulatory guidance. Rather than shipping raw diffs, Monitor hands each change to a small, fast model along with the user's stated goal and asks whether the change qualifies, storing meaningful hits with a one-line summary and staying quiet otherwise. Delivery is via email, webhook, or the dashboard.
TinyFish was co-founded by Shuhao Zhang, Sudheesh Nair, and Keith , with Monitor now available to every TinyFish account and free for the first 72 hours after launch. It slots alongside the company's existing Search, Fetch, Agent, and Browser APIs, extending the platform from one-shot retrieval into ongoing, event-driven observation of the live web.

"The web now has a subscribe button" is a genuinely great hook. Wish the demo gif was 4 seconds shorter though, I bounced before the payoff.

So basically cron + LLM judge + webhook, but wrapped nicely. The wrapping is the whole business, and yours looks clean.

Been watching TinyFish since the browser agent days. This is the right wedge, notifications are what turn scraping into a product.

How does this behave on pages that lazy-load or gate content behind a login? Because that's roughly 80% of the web I actually care about monitoring.

72 hours free is a spicy window. Curious what percent of signups convert vs just kick the tires and ghost.

Onboarding question: can I paste a URL and get my first alert firing in under 60 seconds, or is there a config maze? Because the tweet promises the former.

Any site owner ToS considerations baked in here, or is that firmly a "you problem"? Asking for every legal team about to get a Slack ping.

Roadmap suggestion: let the alert itself trigger another agent action, not just notify. Monitor → decide → do is the loop people actually want.

Fair, though "do" is where liability lives. Notify-only is a feature, not a limitation.

The web was read-only, then read-write. Push was the missing verb.
