Web research to spreadsheet workflow.
A reliable launch version should make repeat research faster while keeping sources visible and source decisions clear.
1. Define searches
List the recurring queries, target sources, fields, freshness rules, and what should be ignored.
2. Extract rows
Collect candidate results, summarize each source, normalize the fields, and keep a source URL with every row.
3. Check exceptions
Flag uncertain matches, stale pages, missing prices, duplicate vendors, and anything that needs a decision.
Starting package
A build can cover the research loop: search inputs in, verified spreadsheet rows out, source links preserved, and a backup action documented.
Operating checks
- Known competitor list with current prices
- New competitors found from a repeat query
- Duplicate source pages
- Missing or ambiguous pricing
- Source pages that changed since the last run
This fits a $99 workflow audit or a $1,000 AI Agent Workflow Sprint. Send the recurring search, desired spreadsheet columns, and a current source list if useful.
