PageCrawl uses AI to make change monitoring easier to act on. When you enable AI for a workspace, it works automatically on detected changes. This page explains what AI produces and how to interpret it.

Where AI is used

• Change summaries - When a monitored page changes, AI describes what changed in plain language instead of leaving you to read a raw text diff.
• Importance scoring - Each change is scored so you can filter out noise and be notified only about meaningful updates.
• Report digests - Periodic digests can include an AI-written overview of the changes in the period, grouped by importance.
• Setup assistance - When setting up a monitor, AI can suggest what to track on a page.

AI is optional and configured per workspace under Settings. You can turn it off, adjust the minimum importance threshold, and add instructions describing what matters to you for more accurate results.

AI-generated content may contain mistakes

Summaries, importance scores, and digest overviews are generated by AI. They are intended to help you triage changes quickly, not to replace the underlying change record.

AI can occasionally misread a change, summarize it imprecisely, or score it higher or lower than you would. Before acting on a summary or score, review the actual detected change, which PageCrawl always records and highlights for you.

Your data and AI training

When AI is enabled, the content needed to produce a result is sent to an AI provider, processed to generate the summary or score, and the result is returned. We keep this deliberately narrow:

• We do not train AI models on your content. PageCrawl does not use your monitored pages, change data, or AI settings to train any model.
• Managed AI runs under business API terms. When you use the AI credits included with your plan, content is processed through PageCrawl's managed AI infrastructure, which runs on commercial provider APIs operated under business terms that prohibit using your content to train their models.
• Only what is needed is sent. AI runs only when a change is detected, not on every check, and only the content required for that summary or score is sent. AI is never the system of record. The underlying change, diff, and screenshot are stored in your account and remain readable with AI turned off.

For more control over where your content goes:

• Bring your own key (BYOK). Connect your own AI provider key and content is sent directly to your provider instead of through PageCrawl's managed infrastructure. See the BYOK setup guide.
• Privacy Mode. With BYOK via OpenRouter, enabling Privacy Mode restricts routing to providers that do not use your data for training. See choosing the best AI model for the per-provider data-usage breakdown.
• Turn AI off. AI is optional per workspace. With it disabled, no page content is sent to any AI provider, and you continue to receive change detection and diffs.

If you monitor confidential or regulated content, PageCrawl does not train on it either way. For maximum control you can additionally use BYOK with a provider whose API terms exclude training, or leave AI disabled for that workspace.

Where AI labels appear

AI-generated content is labeled where it is shown:

• In the change detail view, summaries appear under an AI Summary / AI Analysis heading.
• In report digests (web and shared links), an AI-written overview is marked as an AI Summary, and a note indicates that summaries and priority scores are AI-generated.
• In the workspace AI settings, a note describes what AI produces and that its output may contain mistakes.

If you prefer to work only from the raw change data, you can leave AI disabled for the workspace and continue to receive the underlying change detection and diffs.
