Zipf is the execution and consumption layer for recurring questions about the outside world. It lets organizations run persistent patrols, compare what changed, and brief both humans and AI systems at the right level of abstraction.
The amount being read can grow by 100x to 1000x without forcing anyone to read 10x more. Agents patrol the web. Zipf turns that activity into signal the organization can actually use.
How it works
Describe what matters. Your agents handle the rest.
Tell your agents what to watch
Describe what matters in plain English — new leases in Dallas, funding rounds over $10M, competitor acquisitions. Your agents patrol on the schedule you set.
- Plain English setup — no code required
- Daily, weekly, or custom schedules
- Patrols dozens of sources automatically
They understand what changed
Your agents extract the specific fields you need — company name, deal size, property address, broker. They detect meaningful changes, ignore noise, and deliver actual data — not a list of URLs.
- Extracts the fields you define
- Understands meaningful changes, ignores noise
- Watches the pages your team would check manually
Signals delivered where you work
Know when a clinical trial moved to Phase II, not when a footnote changed. Signals arrive in Slack, email, your CRM, or via webhooks. Your AI systems can pull and push context via MCP.
- Slack, email, CRM, and webhook delivery
- Only escalates meaningful changes
- Filters noise with judgment, not just rules
