Define topics
Markets, competitors and keywords are set together.
Market Signal Agent: Assess market movements earlier.
The Market Signal Agent monitors defined sources and reports changes based on set criteria, with source and timestamp.
In short: News, price changes, competitor moves: the information is out there – but nobody has time to search sources continuously. Important changes are only noticed when it is too late. The agent tracks the topics you define, filters by your criteria and provides a brief assessment instead of long lists. Your team decides what a signal means.
Starting point
Where time is lost today.
- Monitoring on the sideMarket monitoring happens when there’s time – or not at all.
- Everything in one streamRelevant news and noise arrive together; newsletters go unread.
- Noticed too lateCompetitor moves get noticed after the competition has already acted.
- Assessing it yourselfEvery alert has to be assessed by hand.
How it works
What the solution does, step by step.
Monitor sources
The defined sources and topics are checked at the agreed interval.
Filter by criteria
The agent classifies hits according to your set criteria.
Assess briefly
Notable changes are briefly summarised and put into context.
Report changes
The alert names the source, the time and the criterion set.
Before – after
What changes in day-to-day work.
Examples from the workflow – no percentages, as only a measurement in your business can provide those.
| Situation | Today | With the solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitoring | Only when there’s time | Defined sources are checked at the agreed interval |
| Receipt | Feeds and newsletters unread | Only relevant items reach your team |
| Timing | Movements are noticed late | Changes are reported with a timestamp |
| Assessment | Assessing every alert yourself | Alerts come with a brief assessment |
Benefit
What this use case improves.
Defined monitoring
You decide which markets, competitors and terms count.
Relevance filter
Only what meets your criteria is reported – the rest stays out.
Time documented
Alerts show when a change was detected.
Brief assessment
Short summaries instead of lists of links and raw data.
In action
What working with it looks like.
Sample images from our visual library – the interfaces shown are illustrations, not client data.
Responsibility
What stays with people.
The assessment. The agent monitors, filters and classifies. Your team decides what a signal means for your business and what follows from it.
The solution prepares, sorts and hands over – your staff make decisions and grant approvals, following rules you set.
Systems & integrations
Where the solution connects.
For example – what exactly gets connected depends on interfaces and permissions and is checked in the AI potential assessment.
- Industry news
- Competitor websites
- Price lists
- Tender platforms
- Newsletters / feeds
- Social media
- Email
- Teams / Slack
Building blocks & products
The technology behind it.
Solution building blocks are the technical components of the Swiss AI Platform, combined by process.

Control, data & operation
Control stays part of the system.
Depending on the product and interfaces, we run the solution on your premises, in a Swiss cloud or as a combination. Before the pilot, we clarify data flows, access rights and compliance requirements. Background: Private AI and On-premise & hybrid (running on your own servers or a mix of both).
| Topic | Implementation |
|---|---|
| Data | Public and approved sources; internal data only if expressly included. |
| Approvals | Relevance criteria are defined together and can be adjusted after approval. |
| Roles & permissions | Who maintains topics, who receives alerts, who changes criteria – according to your roles. |
| Logging | Monitored sources, hits, filter decision and alert are traceable. |
| Operating model | Running on your own servers, in a private cloud or a mix – depending on the sources included. |
Industries
Where this use case is typical.
- Manufacturing
- Real estate
- Accounting & fiduciary
- cross-industrythe workflow is not tied to a single industry
Standard approach
How a trial run (pilot) can start.
The pilot does not cover the whole process straight away. We pick a clearly defined part, set approvals and success criteria and test it with real data and the people who work with it. This approach is the same for every use case.
- Choose a processA clearly defined part of the workflow that takes up time today and can be measured.
- Clarify data and systemsWhich data, which interfaces, which permissions – and what is missing.
- Implement a defined workflowWith defined approvals and success criteria, not the whole process at once.
- Measure in real operationWith real data and the people who work with it; then expand or stop.
