LLM-powered briefing
Not a feed. A briefing. Apex uses LLMs to filter noise, rank by urgency, and write a 'so what' for each signal — like a sharp analyst, not a firehose.
Scheduled delivery
Weekly or daily. Arrives before you open your laptop — Slack, email, or both.
5-minute setup
Name your competitors. Choose your schedule. Apex does the rest. No onboarding call, no training.
Full signal stack
Pricing changes, product updates, funding rounds, exec hires, job postings, and review site shifts — one brief covers all of it.
"Intelligence that reads like it came from a sharp analyst — not a data dump."
