Frequently asked questions
Short answers first. Details after.
What is white-label competitor intelligence?
It is competitor tracking an agency can brand as its own and hand to clients.
With Kizashi AI, your client sees their logo, colors, and app name on dashboards, emails, battlecards, and reports. They get a read-only login, and nothing mentions us unless you want it to.
See white-label features for agenciesHow do agencies track competitors for multiple clients?
With one workspace per client and one login to switch between them.
Each workspace has its own competitors, alert rules, recipients, and branding. You switch clients from the top bar, and each client can get their own read-only login.
How multi-client workspaces workHow do I monitor competitor website changes without false alerts?
Use a tool that ignores noise and never treats a failed page load as a change.
Kizashi AI strips out dates, view counts, cookie banners, rotating testimonials, and related-post blocks before comparing pages. Timeouts, error pages, bot challenges, and pages much shorter than usual count as failed loads, not changes. Every real change gets a score, and you can mark noise with a thumbs-down so similar changes stop alerting.
What alert fatigue is and how we avoid itWhat's an affordable alternative to Crayon or Klue?
Kizashi AI gives you scored competitor changes, battlecards, and weekly reports with self-serve setup.
Crayon and Klue are strong enterprise platforms with sales-led pricing. If you are an agency or a lean team that mainly needs low-noise alerts and branded reports, a lighter tool is usually enough.
Kizashi AI vs Crayon, honestlyCan I give clients their own competitor dashboard?
Yes. Invite them as a client viewer and they get a branded, read-only dashboard.
Client viewers see dashboards, battlecards, and reports for their workspace only. They cannot change settings or see recipients, Slack setup, or other clients. You can preview their view any time.
Does Kizashi AI respect robots.txt?
Yes. We follow robots.txt, use an honest user agent, and never get around blocks.
Our bot identifies itself as KizashiBot, waits at least 3 seconds between requests to the same site, and caps requests per site. If a site asks bots not to read a page, we use public fallbacks like RSS feeds, sitemaps, official job board APIs, and the Wayback Machine, or we mark the page for a manual check.
What does Kizashi mean?
Kizashi means “a sign” or “the first hint of change” in Japanese.
That is what the product does: it spots the early signs that a competitor or market is shifting.
More about the nameDoes it work outside software?
Yes. It works for any business with competitors.
Restaurants, consumer brands, retail, music, and service firms all use the same setup. Stock tracking is optional and only shows up for public companies.
Example: restaurants and hospitalityHow are alerts delivered?
By email and Slack, batched so you get one message per sweep.
Choose instant alerts for important changes, daily or weekly digests, or everything. Quiet hours hold alerts until morning, and we never send the same change twice.
