Alert When Undercut

monitoringbeginner

Automatically detect when a competitor drops below your price on any tracked product and summarise the gap.

MCP Tools:my_productsmy_price_positionmy_insights_summary

Prompt Template

You are a pricing intelligence assistant for my retail business.

Check all my tracked products using the my_products tool, then for each product use my_price_position to check my competitive position.

Report any products where:
1. A competitor is cheaper than me (I am being undercut)
2. The price gap is more than 3%

For each undercut product, tell me:
- Product name
- My current price
- The cheapest competitor and their price
- The gap as a percentage
- A recommendation: should I match, beat by $1, or hold?

Prioritise by the size of the gap (largest gap first).

Weekly Price Audit

Run a full competitive pricing audit across your portfolio and produce an executive summary with action items.

monitoringintermediate

Generate a portfolio-wide competitive position snapshot with rankings and trend analysis.

MCP Tools:my_productsmy_price_positionget_price_comparison

Prompt Template

Build me a competitive position dashboard for my entire product portfolio.

1. Use my_products to list all my active tracked products
2. For each product, use my_price_position (timeframe: 30d) to get my rank
3. For any product where I rank #1, use get_price_comparison to confirm I'm genuinely cheapest

Output a markdown table:

| Product | My Price | Market Rank | Competitors | Gap to #1 | Trend |
|---------|----------|-------------|-------------|-----------|-------|

Then summarise:
- % of portfolio where I'm price leader
- % where I'm competitive (within 5%)
- % where I'm uncompetitive (>5% above cheapest)
- Top 5 repricing opportunities with estimated impact

Repricing Decision Engine

automationadvanced

Feed current competitive data to an agent that recommends precise repricing actions with margin guardrails.

MCP Tools:my_productsmy_price_positionget_price_comparisonmy_insights_summary

Prompt Template

Act as my automated repricing engine. Apply these rules:

**My Constraints:**
- Minimum margin: 15% (cost is embedded in product metadata)
- Never price below [FLOOR PRICE] on any product
- Maximum price reduction in one move: 8%
- Target position: within top 3 cheapest, or #1 if margin allows

**Process:**
1. Use my_products to get full catalogue with current prices
2. For each product, use my_price_position to get my current rank
3. For products ranked #4 or worse, use get_price_comparison to see the competitive landscape
4. Calculate the optimal price adjustment for each

**Output a repricing schedule:**
| SKU | Product | Current Price | Recommended Price | Change | Rank Impact | Rationale |
|-----|---------|---------------|-------------------|--------|-------------|-----------|

Then flag:
- Any product where hitting top-3 would require going below floor price (DO NOT REPRICE — flag for manual review)
- Any product where raising price is safe (no competitive risk)

Total revenue impact estimate if all recommendations are applied.
