ArtificialWatch

Alerts by email, push, SMS or phone call when a new AI model goes live on a provider's API, with a free plan.

Freemium

What is ArtificialWatch?

ArtificialWatch is an alert service for AI model releases. Automated checkers query provider APIs every 60 seconds, confirm a detection on a second sweep, and notify you only once a model has returned a real answer. The free plan sends an email and a Chrome desktop notification on each launch, about 15 minutes after paying members are told. Paid plans add instant email, SMS, an automated phone call and, on the top plan, a personal evaluation that runs up to 20 of your own prompts on the new model and on the one you use now, judged blind by a model from another lab. The site also publishes a radar of upcoming models, a news wire of leaks and rumors, pages for tracked models, live Polymarket odds where a market exists, and API status pages. It is run by Mark Studios, LLC and is independent of the AI labs it covers. Pricing starts free, then $12/mo for Signal, $19.99/mo for The Call and $34.99/mo for The Watchtower.

Why use ArtificialWatch

  • Hear about a launch within about a minute on paid plans, without refreshing provider blogs or social feeds.
  • Choose the channel per model, so a phone call is reserved for the launches you care about and a text covers the rest.
  • The free plan covers email alerts, the radar and a page for every tracked model, so you can try it without a card.
  • The Watchtower plan answers whether a new model is better for your own work by running your prompts and judging answers blind.
  • Alerts fire only after a model returns a real answer, which cuts out rumor-driven false alarms.
