PrescientIQ Scout:
The “Spy” Agent
Turn market monitoring into a passive, always-on utility. PrescientIQ Scout monitors competitor pricing, ads, and product releases to trigger Pre-Factual Simulations.
How does PrescientIQ Scout automate competitive analysis?
PrescientIQ Scout automates competitive analysis by deploying “Headless Browser” agents to scan designated competitor assets every 60 minutes. Rather than relying on simple keyword alerts, the agent utilizes Visual Change Detection to identify strategic shifts—such as a pricing tier change or new ad creatives—and instantly alerts your strategy team.
How does the “Spy” Agent compare to legacy tools?
PrescientIQ Scout moves from “Passive Collection” to “Active Synthesis.”

People Also Ask
Does PrescientIQ Scout require me to install code on competitor sites?
No. PrescientIQ Scout is an external “Outside-In” intelligence tool. It uses autonomous web agents to visit public URLs, just like a human user or a Google crawler would.
How many competitors can I track?
The Enterprise tier allows for unlimited competitor tracking. The agent scales its compute resources dynamically, allowing you to monitor 5 direct competitors or 50 broad-market players.
Is the data gathered by PrescientIQ Scout legal?
Yes. The agent accesses only Publicly Available Information (PAI) and utilizes residential proxies to respect ethical scraping standards.
What happens if a competitor blocks the bot?
PrescientIQ Scout utilizes a proprietary network of Residential Proxies and AI-driven “Human Emulation” browsing patterns (mouse movements, scroll variance) to prevent detection.
