GetIntel updates different data on different schedules, matched to how fast each thing really changes.

| Data | Updates | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **AI answers** (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) | Daily, starting 9am IST | Every tracked question on every engine. |
| **Topics, competitors, sources, your pages** | After each daily scan | Rebuilt from the new answers. |
| **Tasks** | After each daily scan | Confirmed tasks appear once seen on 2 days or backed by 3 answers. |
| **Claude** (Growth) | Weekly, Mondays | |
| **Brand perception** | Weekly, Mondays | Once during a free trial. |
| **Technical scan** | Weekly, Mondays | Or on demand with Re-check now, once an hour. |
| **Reddit** | Daily | Threads are scanned daily; each topic's summary covers the last 7 days. Once during a free trial. |
| **AI crawlers** (Cloudflare) | Hourly | The first sync pulls what Cloudflare still holds, 8 days on most plans. |
| **Competitor websites** | Weekly | Daily on Growth. |
| **Weekly plan** | Live | Unfinished tasks carry into the new week. |

## Why today looks thinner

A day's numbers are complete only after that day's scan has finished and been scored. Earlier in the day, today's point rests on fewer answers, so compare complete days.

## A new brand or prompt

- **A new brand** gets its first scan straight away, then joins the daily scan.
- **A new prompt** is asked from the next daily scan.
