Guide

We answer questions people actually search for: the legal baseline for web crawling, automated news monitoring, and automating repetitive tasks. We publish only what we have checked against the original text of statutes and official documents.

Web data collection

• Web crawling: how far does it go — the 4 criteria for collecting data legally The short answer: crawling can be done legally. The criterion is whether the service provider has restricted access.
• News monitoring automation — get articles that mention your company as soon as they appear The short answer: collecting keyword news automatically and getting notified is very much doable. Three things to choose, four things to decide.

Data analysis

• Transcribing into Excel can be automated — 3 criteria to tell The short answer: anything that follows fixed rules and repeats is a candidate for automation. What looks special is usually just rules that haven't been written down yet.

AI adoption

• AI drafts replies to delivery and mall reviews — you only press approve The short answer: collect → classify → draft is automated, but the final review and posting are done by a person. Writing on your behalf and posting on your behalf are different things.
