How It Works
A simple workflow for tracking topics without reading everything yourself
Knock is designed to reduce the time between noticing a topic and understanding whether it matters. The workflow starts broad, then lets users spend more time or credits only when the update deserves it.
Choose a topic
Start with a topic, niche, company, market, or subject you want to monitor.
Knock monitors public sources
The product watches relevant public web sources across the topic so you do not have to check them manually all day.
Updates are grouped and summarized
Important changes are condensed into concise topic updates and summaries so users can triage fast.
Users receive briefs and alerts
Knock can turn activity into daily briefs or alerts when a tracked topic starts moving.
Go deeper when a story matters
Users can spend more credits on deeper analysis only for the updates that deserve extra context.
What users get back
- Topic updates for quick scanning and orientation
- AI summaries that capture what changed and why it may matter
- Daily briefs to review multiple updates in one pass
- Alerts for monitored topics that start showing stronger movement
- Deeper analysis when an update needs more context than a short summary
What users control
- Which topics are tracked
- How often they check in through updates or briefs
- When to escalate into deeper analysis
- Whether alerts are useful enough for faster response
- How far to go before spending more credits or upgrading plans
What this means in practice
The product is not trying to replace every source. It is built to help users decide what deserves attention before they open every article, thread, press release, or update themselves.
For someone comparing tools, the best way to think about Knock is as a topic tracking workflow with AI layers on top: monitor, summarize, brief, alert, and only then go deeper.
