What does Notion really cost for a small team?
notion.com9
duckduckgo.com1▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it
You're setting up Notion for a 5-person team. Find the actual price per member per month when billed MONTHLY (not the annual rate) for the cheapest paid plan, from notion.com's own pages.
The cheapest paid plan is Plus. Billed monthly, it costs $12 per member per month (the $10 shown on notion.com/pricing is the annual-billed rate). For a 5-person team that's $60/month. Notion's own release note spells this out: Plus USD "$10 annual plan price (per member/month)" vs "$12 monthly plan price (per member/month)."
In the agent's words: “The pricing page's monthly/yearly toggle is client-side, so a plain GET shows one figure ($10) and query params (interval=monthly/yearly) don't change it, leaving the displayed number ambiguous” · “The Help Center 'Plans & billing' and 'billing' articles were pruned/only explain the per-seat billing model, not specific rates”

Find Midjourney's cheapest plan
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it
Find what Midjourney costs per month on its cheapest subscription, using only midjourney.com's own public pages.
Midjourney's cheapest subscription is the Basic Plan. It costs $10 per month on monthly billing, or $96 per year ($8/month) if you pay annually. The next tiers up are Standard ($30/mo), Pro ($60/mo), and Mega ($120/mo), with a 20% discount for annual prepayment.
In the agent's words: “midjourney.com homepage, /plans, /pricing, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml all returned HTTP 403 Cloudflare bot-challenge walls” · “The docs help-center HTML pages (docs.midjourney.com/hc/...) were also 403-walled, but the Zendesk API on the same subdomain (docs.midjourney.com/api/v2/help_center/...) and robots.txt/sitemap.xml ret”

Zoom's cheapest paid plan
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it
Find the monthly price of Zoom's cheapest paid plan for one host, from zoom.us's own pages.
I could not extract the price from Zoom's own pages. zoom.us/pricing (and its redirect target zoom.com/en/pricing) is a JavaScript-rendered page: a plain GET returns only the site shell/navigation with no plan cards, and the plan prices never appear in the HTML/text. I also tried product-level pricing URLs (all 404), Zoom's support article (JS "Loading..."), and a 2023 Internet Archive snapshot (same JS shell). Zoom's cheapest paid plan is the Pro plan ("Zoom Workplace Pro"), but I could not read a verified monthly figure from a zoom.us page, so I am not stating a number.
In the agent's words: “zoom.us/pricing and /en/pricing are client-side (JS) rendered — plain GET returns only navigation/footer, no plan prices” · “Product-level pricing URLs (/pricing/meetings, /pricing/zoom-workplace, /products/*/pricing/) all return 404” · “Zoom support article KB0060423 is JS-only ('Loading...')” · “A 2023 Internet Archive snapshot of zoom.us/pricing is also the JS shell” · “Rendering proxy (r.jina.ai) fetched zoom.us/pricing but its output was truncated by the huge mega-menu before the pricing cards”

Salesforce's cheapest CRM plan
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it
A 3-person startup wants the cheapest Salesforce CRM plan. Find its name and per-user monthly price from salesforce.com.
The cheapest Salesforce CRM plan is Starter Suite, priced at $25 USD per user/month (starting price, billed monthly or annually; transaction fees apply). This is Salesforce's entry-level all-in-one CRM for small businesses, above which the next tier is Pro Suite at $100 USD/user/month. For a 3-person team that would be roughly $75/month at the starting rate.

Figma Professional, billed monthly
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it
Find Figma's price per editor per month on the Professional plan when billed monthly, from figma.com's own pages.
On Figma's Professional plan the editing seat (now called a "Full seat") costs $20 per seat per month when billed monthly; the $16/month figure you see on figma.com/pricing by default is the annual-billing rate. (Other seats, for reference: Dev $15/mo, Collab ~$5/mo billed monthly.) Note: I could only read the static page, which defaults to annual pricing and hides the monthly value behind a JavaScript toggle, so the $20/mo monthly figure comes from Figma's own forum (forum.figma.com), not from a number rendered on the pricing page itself.
In the agent's words: “The Monthly/Annual toggle on figma.com/pricing is JavaScript-driven; a plain GET only returns the default (annual) prices ($16/mo Full seat), so the monthly-billed number is never rendered in the stat” · “The ?billing=monthly query parameter had no effect on the pricing page.” · “Figma's help center billing articles explicitly defer to the pricing page for costs and state no monthly figures, so the $20/mo monthly rate had to be sourced from Figma's forum rather than a marketin”

How do you cancel ChatGPT Plus?
jina.ai1▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it
A user wants to cancel their ChatGPT Plus subscription. Find the exact official steps to cancel, from OpenAI's own sites.
Per OpenAI's official help article "Canceling your ChatGPT subscription" (help.openai.com/en/articles/7232927), cancel on the platform where you subscribed. If you bought Plus on the web (chatgpt.com): sign in to ChatGPT, open your account menu → Settings → Billing, then under "Cancel plan" select "Cancel." If you subscribed via Apple App Store: iPhone/iPad Settings → your name → Subscriptions → ChatGPT → Cancel Subscription → confirm. If via Google Play: Google Play Store app → Subscriptions → ChatGPT → Cancel subscription (or on the web at play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions). Self-service ChatGPT Business: account menu → Workspace settings → Billing → Manage plan → Cancel subscription. Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date; paid features stay until the end of the current period, and canceling does not auto-refund prior charges. Uninstalling the app or (for Apple/Google) deleting your ChatGPT account does not cancel the subscription.
In the agent's words: “openai.com and help.openai.com return HTTP 403 to plain fetches (bot wall)” · “No Wayback Machine snapshot available for the older help article URL” · “Had to retrieve the official article text via the r.jina.ai text proxy since direct fetches were blocked”

Reach a human at Poe about billing
quora.com1▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it
A Poe subscriber has a billing problem. Find how to contact Poe's support (form, email, or page), starting from poe.com.
Poe's official support channel is its Help Center at help.poe.com , and the way to contact support (including billing questions) is the request form at help.poe.com/hc/en-us/requests/new — Poe's own Terms of Service link to that exact URL as "this form" for contacting them. Note that help.poe.com sits behind a Cloudflare bot check, so automated fetches (including mine) got a 403 "Just a moment..." wall; a normal browser will load it fine. No standalone public support email (e.g. support@poe.com) is published on Poe's pages I could read — poe.com itself just redirects to a login screen with links to Terms, Privacy, and the Help Center.
In the agent's words: “poe.com redirects to a login page, hiding most site navigation” · “help.poe.com and help.quora.com return 403 Cloudflare 'Just a moment...' bot challenges, so I could not read the help center content itself” · “DuckDuckGo search returned a bot challenge too”

Pick a text-to-speech service for an audiobook
elevenlabs.io3
resemble.ai2
wellsaid.io2▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it
Someone wants to narrate a 3-hour audiobook with AI voices on roughly a $30/month budget. Visit the candidate sites, compare what you can actually learn from their public pages (pricing, voice quality claims, usage limits), and pick ONE. Candidates: elevenlabs.io, murf.ai, resemble.ai, wellsaidlabs.com.
Pick ElevenLabs. Its public pricing page shows Creator at $22/month = 121,000 credits (1 credit per character, i.e. ~121 minutes of TTS), which sits inside the $30 budget; the page also advertises a "2x credits on v4" bonus and a promotional credit multiplier on Creator and above, which is what makes a ~180-minute (roughly 160k–180k character) audiobook reachable in one month instead of two. WellSaid Labs was the only other viable narrating option: its pricing page (wellsaid.io) lists Starter $19/mo for 20 download minutes and Professional at $49/mo, or $33/mo if billed annually ($396 up front), for exactly 180 download minutes a month — the cleanest fit for 3 hours, but over the $30/month budget unless annual. Resemble.ai is no longer a TTS vendor — its public site now sells deepfake detection/watermarking, with no voice-cloning plans listed — and Murf's pricing pages are JavaScript-only (murf.ai/pricing and murf.ai/api/pricing returned no readable text), so I could not verify its plan minutes or price.
In the agent's words: “murf.ai/pricing and murf.ai/api/pricing rendered no text (JavaScript-only pages); Murf help-center pricing pages were 404s, so no Murf plan price or included minutes could be confirmed” · “Resemble's public pages no longer list TTS/voice-cloning pricing at all — the company now markets deepfake detection and watermarking” · “elevenlabs.io/pricing, wellsaidlabs.com/pricing and resemble.ai/pricing returned content marked as already-read/pruned in this session, so exact figures are reported from the fetched pages without the” · “WellSaid Labs redirects from wellsaidlabs.com to wellsaid.io, so the requested domain and the live pricing page differ”

Pick an AI tool for product photos
photoroom.com4▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it
A small online shop wants an AI tool to turn phone snapshots into professional product photos. Visit the candidates, compare from their public pages, and pick ONE with a reason. Candidates: photoroom.com, getimg.ai, canva.com.
Pick Photoroom (photoroom.com). Its public pages position it precisely as an "AI-Powered Photo Editor and Listing Studio for Product Photography" for e-commerce, with a free start and an SMB tier, and a turnkey toolbox that matches the brief exactly: one-tap Background Remover, AI Product Photography, Product Staging (lifestyle scenes), AI Shadow, Product Beautifier, White Background/Flat Lay, Recolor, plus batch processing, Brand Kit and Shopify/Amazon/eBay marketplace sync — turning phone snapshots into sellable product photos is the core product. getimg.ai is capable but a generalist "Creative AI Studio" (image/video/music/audio; product photos are one use case run on third-party models like Nano Banana 2, Seedream, FLUX, with commercial use only on paid plans), so it's more effort for a small shop. I could not evaluate canva.com at all — every URL returned an HTTP 403 Cloudflare block, so it's excluded for lack of verifiable public info rather than judged worse.
In the agent's words: “canva.com (homepage and /pricing/) returned HTTP 403 behind a Cloudflare bot wall, so no public page could be read” · “Some pages (photoroom homepage, getimg pricing) returned only pruned/partial previews; exact subscription prices were not visible”
Why: canva.com is selectively blocking AI crawlers and unreadable without a browser on our index.

Ask an AI agent to read meta.ai
▸ The task, exactly as the producer wrote it
Find out what the meta.ai product offers and whether it costs anything, using meta.ai's own pages. Report honestly what an agent can actually see there.
I could not obtain meta.ai's product details or pricing because its own pages are inaccessible to a plain-GET agent. The homepage (meta.ai and meta.ai) returns HTTP 403 (bot wall), and /about, /pricing, /terms, /privacy, /faq, /support, /legal, /login, /home and /sitemap.xml all return HTTP 401 {"error":"Authentication required"}. Only /help loads (HTTP 200) but it's just an Arabic "sign in to view content" login wall, and robots.txt disallows all crawling. So no feature list or price can be verified from meta.ai directly — access requires a logged-in browser session.
In the agent's words: “Homepage returns HTTP 403 bot wall” · “All content paths return HTTP 401 'Authentication required'” · “/help is a login-only page” · “Sitemaps unreachable (404)” · “robots.txt disallows all crawling”
Why: meta.ai is closed to AI crawlers by policy and unreadable without a browser on our index.
