Everything Horizo does
Horizo proposes what to watch from a short description of your market, then checks feeds, news and competitors' own pages, shows what changed, merges duplicates, scores every item with its reasons and filters the noise. You get a daily or weekly briefing where every item cites its source and date, plus real-time alerts. Everything below is built.
Setting up the watch
- Sources proposed from a description. Competitors, topics, feeds, competitor pages and news searches, each with the reason it was proposed. With AI off, Horizo still proposes each competitor's usual pages and feed by rules.
- Verified before you confirm. A feed must parse, a page must return readable text, and robots.txt refusals are shown; only confirmed sources are watched.
- Goal-based. Competitor tracking, industry news or regulatory changes: it shapes the examples, the proposals and the briefing's order.
Monitoring
- RSS and Atom feeds. Checked with conditional requests (ETag, Last-Modified); paste a site's address and Horizo finds its feed.
- Competitor page change detection. Pricing, product, careers, changelog and blog pages compared with the last copy of their visible text; timestamps, counters and trivial edits ignored; the added and removed lines shown.
- News and web results. News searches for the names and topics you choose, within each plan's allowance.
- Polite crawling. robots.txt respected (including Crawl-delay), at most one request every 10 seconds per site, private network addresses never fetched.
Filtering the noise
- Duplicates merged. The same address once; the same story from other outlets counted on the first copy.
- Relevance with reasons. A 0-100 score, an importance level and up to four reasons on every item, by AI or by Horizo's rules (and it says which).
- Mutes and a threshold. Mute a term, a site or a source; set the score under which items are filtered out. Filtered items stay visible with the reason, and can be kept anyway.
- Learns from you. Thumbs up and down weigh the words of an item's title up or down in later scores, shown as a reason.
Briefings and alerts
- Daily or weekly briefings. At the hour you choose in your workspace's timezone, emailed to members who keep them on, or built on demand.
- Every item cited. Headline, why it matters, source, link and date; grouped as competitors, regulation, industry and other.
- Editable and exportable. Edit or remove entries (the citation stays fixed), regenerate, export as Markdown, email it to the team.
- Share by link. A read-only link to one briefing, not indexed by search engines, that you can turn off.
- Real-time alerts. High-importance items by email and to a Slack channel (Pro and Team), at most 10 an hour.
Team and data
- Team workspaces. Owners, admins, editors and viewers; saved items and notes the whole workspace sees.
- Your data. Export everything as JSON; delete a source, an entry or the whole workspace.

Questions buyers ask
Does Horizo make up news or summaries without sources?
No. A briefing only contains items Horizo fetched, and each one shows its source, link and date. The AI may rewrite a headline or explain why it matters, but code drops any line that doesn't point at a fetched item, and a line with a number the item doesn't contain falls back to the item's own title.
