FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my watch settings?

    No. The AI can only read history, snapshots, and watch details. It cannot modify your monitors.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete old snapshots?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to retrieve existing data, not delete it.

  • 03

    How does the AI see the website?

    It uses the snapshots captured by ChangeDetection.io to see exactly what the page looked like during a change.

  • 04

    Can I ask about multiple watches at once?

    Yes, as long as you provide the specific IDs or names for the watches you want to compare.

  • 05

    Does the AI monitor the site itself?

    No. ChangeDetection.io does the monitoring. The AI simply analyzes the data that has already been captured.
