Canada runs on PDFs and provincial portals. PageCrawl reads them all.
A dedicated alternative to Google Information Agents for Canada.
SEDAR+ replaced SEDAR. CRA folios are updated quietly. OSFI guidance gets reposted at midnight. Bill C-27 (the Consumer Privacy Protection Act and the AI and Data Act) is reshaping privacy from PIPEDA. Provincial procurement (BCBid, MERX, SaskTenders, BuyandSell) is fragmented across portals nobody wants to refresh. A Canadian team is constantly told to "just check the website." PageCrawl checks the website for them, every five minutes, with PDF-aware extraction.
No credit card. 6 monitors free forever. Trusted by 5,000+ teams.
What are Google Information Agents?
A new feature in Google's paid AI subscription that watches web pages and topics for you. Useful, if you can get it. Here is where PageCrawl fits.
A paid Google AI feature
Information Agents live inside Google AI Pro ($20/mo) and Ultra ($200/mo). They run ongoing research and ping you when a watched topic or page moves. Like Google Alerts, rebuilt as an agent, behind a paywall.
Not available in Canada
Google is rolling out US-first with no published timeline for Canada. No SLA, no regional coverage, and tied to a Google AI subscription you may not want.
PageCrawl, available today
Paste a URL, pick what counts as a change, get alerts on Slack, Teams, email, or webhook. Built for regulators, suppliers, competitors, and council portals. Free tier on every region.
The report comes to you. Instantly, daily, or weekly.
Every change you care about is packaged and delivered on the cadence you pick, routed to the channel your team actually works in. Not buried inside another AI app, not tied to one personal account.
Instant
The moment a page moves.
Critical pages ping Slack, Teams, or webhook within minutes. Configurable per monitor, with AI scoring so noise stays quiet and substantive changes get through.
Daily
One quiet digest each morning.
Yesterday's changes, grouped, summarised by AI, sent at the time you choose. Ideal for council planning portals, regulator press feeds, supplier portals, and competitor changelogs.
Weekly
A roll-up your team can act on.
Per-channel, per-tag, per-folder. Filter by AI priority, route to specific stakeholders, share as a PDF or a hosted page. Replaces three weekly status emails.
Delivered via Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, webhook, Discord, Telegram, RSS, browser push, and the MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Codex.
PageCrawl vs Google Information Agents
Side by side, where the two products actually differ for Canadian teams.
Why Canadian teams pick PageCrawl
Built for the pages your team already watches, on your time zone, with the integrations you already use.
Federal and provincial, English and French, mostly PDF
SEDAR+ filings, OSFI guidance and supervisory letters, CRA bulletins and folios, CRTC decisions, the Canada Gazette (Parts I, II, III), CSA notices, the OPC, and provincial procurement portals including MERX, BCBid, SaskTenders, BuyandSell, and Ontario tenders. PDFs and long policy texts are first-class, including OCR for older scanned bulletins.
Why not just wait for Google?
Google's Information Agents are a brand-new feature inside a paid AI subscription. They have not launched in Canada. There is no published roadmap, no SLA, and no privacy commitment for that product. Google has a long history of discontinuing services teams come to rely on (Reader, Inbox, Domains, Code, Stadia, Hangouts). Building your OSFI, SEDAR+, or Bill C-27 monitoring on a US consumer product that may or may not reach Canada is not a serious plan.
Delivered to the tools Canadian teams actually use
Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, webhooks, Discord, Telegram, RSS, and an MCP server at /mcp-server for Claude, Cursor, and Codex. All included on every paid plan. Route SEDAR+ and OSFI updates to instant pings, procurement portals to a daily digest, aligned to ET, CT, or PT business hours.
Authenticated procurement portals, the way they actually work
BCBid, MERX, SaskTenders, and BuyandSell logged-in views. Authenticated monitoring is available from the Standard plan up, with credentials encrypted and session reuse handled. Useful for vendors chasing addenda that drop without notice.
Pick your AI model, reach pages others can't
Choose Claude, GPT, or Gemini per workspace for change summaries, depending on what your team trusts and what it pays for. The stealth engine reaches pages behind heavy bot protection that block standard crawlers, and PageCrawl can auto-discover new pages on a site so a new product page or filing shows up in the report without anyone naming the URL.
Team workspaces, queryable history, and exports
Workspaces with role-based access, SSO, and an audit log. Every check stores a diff and a screenshot you can search through later, with CSV, Excel, and PDF exports. Built so a regulator, lawyer, or auditor can see what a page said on a given day without you piecing it back together.
The pages Canadian teams already watch
Regulators, registries, councils, supplier portals, competitor sites. PageCrawl has them covered.
OSFI-supervised bank
Tracks OSFI guidelines, supervisory letters, and the B-series of capital and liquidity guidance, with PDF-aware diffs.
Securities lawyer
Watches SEDAR+ filings, CSA notices, and provincial securities commission rulings for a portfolio of issuers.
Procurement officer at a vendor
Watches BCBid, MERX, SaskTenders, and BuyandSell for new RFPs and addenda dropped after 4pm.
Privacy lead
Tracks the OPC and the progress of Bill C-27 through Parliament, plus provincial privacy commissioners in BC, Alberta, and Quebec.
Public-affairs lead at a pharma
Watches Health Canada bulletins, drug shortages, recalls, and the Canada Gazette Part II for new regulations.
Tax partner at a firm
Catches CRA folio updates, income tax interpretations, GST/HST notices, and decision impact statements.
Four steps from URL to alert
No webhooks to write, no scrapers to maintain.
Add the pages you need to watch
Paste URLs from any regulator, supplier, council, or competitor page. PageCrawl handles JavaScript-heavy pages, cookie banners, login walls, and PDFs.
Pick what counts as a change
Track the whole page, a specific element, a price, or a number. Every change is scored 0 to 100 so routine edits stay quiet and substantive ones get attention.
Route alerts where your team works
Slack, Teams, email, webhook, Discord, Telegram, or RSS. Urgent changes ping instantly; the rest roll up into a daily or weekly digest.
Keep an audit trail
Every check stores a diff and a screenshot. Ultimate plans add sealed WACZ archives for pages that need an evidentiary record.
