Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Prewanth. Can't find your answer? Get in touch.

Getting started
Is Prewanth free to use?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 saved stores, 3 watchlist items, 10 Ask questions per day, and 10 email price alerts per month. No credit card required.
Do I need an account?
No. Anonymous users get weather and gas prices right away. Creating a free account unlocks stores, watchlist, full briefing, the Ask tab, and 10 daily questions.
How do I get started?
Go to prewanth.com/app and enter your zip code. Weather and gas show up immediately. Sign up for a free account to unlock everything else — it takes about 30 seconds.
Today's Briefing
How does the morning briefing work?
When you open the Today tab, Prewanth builds a personalized briefing based on your zip code, saved stores, watchlist, and interests. It includes weather with a 5-day forecast, store weekly ad links, price alert hits, local news, gas prices, events, jobs, and restaurants. The briefing refreshes twice daily. Use the Edit Briefing button to reorder or hide sections.
What store information do you show?
For saved stores we surface a link to their current weekly ad. We don't scrape or display individual sale prices — just a shortcut so you don't have to go looking for it yourself.
Can I customize the briefing?
Yes. Use the Edit Briefing button on the Today tab to drag sections into a different order or toggle any of them off entirely. Your briefing shows everything by default — hide what you don't want.
How fresh is the data?
Briefing data refreshes twice daily. Weather comes from weather.gov. Gas links out to GasBuddy for live data.
Price Alerts & Watchlist
How do price alerts work?
Add a product to your watchlist with a target price. You can also specify size, color, and condition (new or any). Each morning Prewanth checks public shopping search results. If a price is found below your threshold, the item is flagged in your briefing and — if email alerts are on — you receive an email from hello@prewanth.com. You get 10 email alerts per month on the free plan.
Are alerted prices guaranteed?
No. Prices come from public shopping search data and change frequently. Prewanth is not affiliated with any retailer. Always verify the price directly before purchasing.
Can I turn off email alerts for individual items?
Yes. Each watchlist item has an email alert toggle you can flip on or off at any time from the Watch tab.
What happens when I dismiss a triggered alert?
Dismissing moves the alert to your archive in the Watch tab. Archived items stop triggering alerts and are automatically deleted after 15 days. Dismissed alerts still count toward your 10 monthly email alerts.
Ask Tab
What can I ask?
Anything local — gas prices, restaurants, events, services, jobs, store comparisons. All answers are grounded to your zip code. The AI won't make up local businesses, but it can still get things wrong, so use it as a starting point.
Can the AI make mistakes?
Yes. Like any AI it can get things wrong, especially for prices, hours, or availability. Treat answers as a helpful nudge in the right direction, not a definitive source.
How many questions can I ask per day?
Signed-in users get 10 questions per day. Limits reset at midnight. The Ask tab requires a free account.
Zip Codes & Location
Can I track multiple zip codes?
Signed-in users can add up to 2 zip code areas — your first zip is free and doesn't count toward the limit. You can switch between them freely. Anonymous users cannot change their zip after initial entry.
Does Prewanth use my GPS?
Prewanth may request your location to suggest your zip code on first use, but it's not required. All personalization is based on your zip code, not precise GPS coordinates.
Account & Technical
Does Prewanth have a mobile app?
Prewanth is a web app that works on any device at prewanth.com/app. A native app is on the roadmap.

How do I reset my password?

How do I delete my account?
