Continuous Intelligence for AI Agents

Topical is continuous intelligence infrastructure. It monitors topics you care about around the clock, filters signal from noise, and delivers relevant updates to your team in Slack or via API. Think of it as a persistent analyst that never sleeps.

RSS readers show you everything from your sources, sorted by time. Topical continuously monitors your topics, clusters related events, extracts entities, and surfaces only what is relevant. It maintains memory of what has happened over days, weeks, and months. It is not a feed to scroll; it is intelligence to act on.

You define the topics you want to track. Topical then continuously monitors those topics and delivers AI-curated briefings on a schedule you choose. You can monitor competitors, industry trends, regulatory changes, or any specific theme. Updates land directly in your Slack channels, ready to read.

Yes. Topical treats companies, products, and people as first-class entities. You can define a set of competitors or products to track and Topical will monitor their websites, changelogs, pricing pages, release notes, and public announcements. When it detects something new or changed, it summarises the significance for your team.

Both. The same intelligence layer that powers Slack briefings is exposed through APIs and MCP, so AI agents can also subscribe to topic updates. If you are building an agent that needs persistent external awareness, Topical provides that out of the box.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data sources. Topical exposes your topic intelligence through MCP, meaning any MCP-compatible AI agent can query your topical memory, fetch the latest events on a topic, or check for trend changes without you needing to build that infrastructure yourself.

Topical runs on a configurable schedule per topic. You can set it to check continuously, daily, or weekly depending on how fast-moving the space is. Fast-moving topics like AI news might check multiple times a day. Slower topics like regulatory updates might run weekly.

You can configure topics manually, or start from one of our monitoring templates. These cover common use cases like AI startup monitoring, competitor tracking for SaaS products, engineering leadership trends, or cybersecurity briefings. Templates give you a working starting point you can refine over time.

Yes. Our Creator and Pro plans both include 30 days free before you are charged. You can cancel at any time and we will email you a reminder before you are charged.

Slack is our primary delivery surface. We also support email digests. Microsoft Teams and Discord integrations are on our roadmap.

Most tools answer questions in the moment. Topical maintains ongoing awareness of your topics over time. It remembers what happened last week, detects when a trend is accelerating, identifies when a competitor ships something significant, and flags emerging patterns before they become obvious. It is the difference between a snapshot and a persistent memory.
