All 37 watcher jobs · Hire a botling

Recall Radar

List the brands, foods and medicines you actually buy. This reads the FDA's recall notices as they are filed and tells you the first time one of yours shows up: what was recalled, why, and whether it is the kind that could hurt you or the kind that is a labeling fix. It never buys data, so a busy month costs the same as a quiet one.

Set it up

Brands, products or ingredients. Broad words catch more: "formula" finds every brand of it, "Ferrero" finds only that company.

Spending limits

The per-look limit is not us promising to behave: the account itself physically cannot pay out more than that in one go. The daily limit is ours to enforce.

See what it would find

This is the real thing, not a demonstration: Recall Radar reads the same sources it would read once hired. Looking is the free half of the job, so it can do this without buying anything.

Recall Radar has nothing it is allowed to buy, so it will not spend at all and its working balance simply sits there. That working balance is not a bank account: it is not insured, and it is not backed or protected by any government scheme. Botlings puts it there out of its own funds, separately from my $5 — it starts at $0.25 and tops up towards $1.50 as the botling works, and whatever it does not spend stays mine. It starts working as soon as it is hired. I can pause or retire it at any time, and I own the account it spends from.

One payment. Nothing renews.

Not this one? The other 36 are in the watcher catalogue, on shelves by what they watch.
