# ArtificialWatch
> ArtificialWatch is the watchtower for every frontier AI lab: automated checkers sweep provider APIs every 60 seconds and alert you by email, Chrome push, SMS, and an automated phone call the minute a new AI model — Fable 6, Grok 5, DeepSeek V5, GLM-6, MiniMax M4 and more — actually goes live. Free to watch; paid tiers add the text and the call.
Last updated 2026-10-18. ArtificialWatch is an independent monitor — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Meta, DeepSeek, Alibaba, Moonshot, or any other AI lab. A Mark Studios product, from the team behind FableWatch (https://fablewatch.com).
## How detection works
- Checkers sweep the providers' own APIs every 60 seconds; a detection is confirmed on a second sweep before anything fires. No rumors, no leaks, no docs pages — an alert means the model returned a real answer.
- Paid alerts fire the moment a launch is confirmed, and Chrome push reaches every plan at that moment; free email follows in a batch about 15 minutes later.
- Paid subscribers choose ring, text, or both — per model. SMS and calls fire only after the subscriber verifies their number.
## Plans
- **Free — $0 forever**: Email alert on every launch; Chrome desktop notification; Dashboard: pick your models — SOTA-only, every lab, or a custom list; The radar, the wire, the bench index + a page for every tracked model; Live Polymarket odds on every watched launch; Email arrives in the free batch — about 15 minutes after members' alerts. No card. No spam. Free forever. Instant push; email fifteen minutes later.
- **Signal — $12/mo**: Instant everything — email and SMS fire the moment a launch is confirmed, ahead of the free email batch; SMS the minute a model goes live; Per-model text routing — follow the models you care about, mute the rest; Quiet hours — overnight texts hold until morning. Every feature on this card is live today. Cancel anytime. One tier up, your phone doesn't buzz — it rings.
- **The Call — $19.99/mo**: The automated phone call — a text gets missed, a call gets answered; it rings until you know; Ring, text, or both — chosen per model: ring for Gemini 5, text for the rest; Charter rate — $19.99 never rises while you stay subscribed. Less than one of the AI subscriptions it guards. Every feature listed is live right now — nothing here is a promise. If a flagship launch doesn't ring your verified phone, we credit that month's fee (up to one month per billing period; see Terms). Cancel anytime.
- **The Watchtower — $34.99/mo**: Your prompts, scored on every launch — up to 20 of your real prompts run on the new model and on the model you use now; a judge from a third lab picks the better answer blind, the order alternating so neither side sits first; The verdict first — “7 better, 2 same, 1 worse than yours” in the subject line, then the judge's reason, prompt by prompt; Your report as a PDF — every prompt with the verdict, the judge's reason and both answers side by side (long ones abridged), plus reply times and the launch numbers; Alerts built your way — pick the model to compare against, choose what the email carries (price, context, cost vs yours, vs today's #1 and the best value), and keep texts short or put the numbers in them; Subscription watch — models quietly added to, or pulled from, the Gemini app & Anthropic's published model table (more surfaces next); Sunset & deprecation alerts — hear before a model you rely on is retired; Price, limit & market-threshold alerts across the providers you pay; The weekly intelligence brief — what changed and what to do about it. Everything above is live today. $34.99 is the charter rate and never rises while you stay subscribed. Cancel anytime. Already on Signal or The Call? Upgrade from your dashboard: your plan ends when the Watchtower starts, and its unused days are credited. Everyone already on a paid plan keeps every feature they have today, permanently.
