What's new
Product changes, newest first.
One sentence for each change, with a link to read more.
-
Opened listings move to a new Seen tab on Home and on each search, so New holds only what nobody on your team has opened yet. Mark as new puts one back.
-
Clear the rest hides every listing older than 2 days in one move, with one Undo.
-
Busy teams open Home on Today's best: the best-priced new listings first, grouped by how good the price is.
-
Analyze with AI on a search: say what's wrong in your own words and get up to 3 changes, each with how many listings it adds or leaves out and real listings to show it. Ask for deals and it suggests price check changes.
-
Choose how often email and Telegram alerts reach you (Instant, every 15 minutes, every hour or once a day at 08:00), for your account or one search, and set quiet hours when nothing is sent. Slack and Discord still post at once.
