Search Docs Diff
See the exact words that changed in the docs and rules you build against.
Availability. Coming soon: the weekly digest sign-up is not open yet, so the form below is switched off. Nothing is sold.
The rules you build against change quietly. Search Docs Diff watches the documentation pages that matter to site owners and to extension, app and agent builders, and shows you the exact words that changed, with a link to the source.
Regulation Radar does the same for primary-source regulation pages. Today that is the FTC, the California privacy agencies and Attorney General, CMS, DOJ, the EU AI Act timeline, the Virginia and Washington statutes, and the PCI Security Standards Council (18 pages). HHS OCR, the New York and California auto-renewal statutes and Texas are on the list but blocked or not static yet, so they are not watched.
Free weekly digest
Sign-up is not open yet. When it opens: one confirmation email, then one digest a week when something changed. One click to unsubscribe. We never track opens or clicks.
What you get
- More than 50 curated pages (52 in the current source list): Google Search Central and its crawler docs (including Google-Extended), Bing, schema.org, the OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity crawler docs, and the Chrome Web Store, Shopify, Atlassian and Apify policies.
- Every change shown as the quoted lines that were added and removed, with the page link.
- Where a summary is shown it is labelled “AI-drafted summary of the quoted change: read the quoted text”, and it appears only after an automatic check confirms that its quotes are really in the change. Otherwise you get the quote alone. The automatic check confirms quotes, numbers, dates and links; it cannot catch a summary that overstates a change in plain words (for example “mandatory” where the page says “recommended”), so read the quote.

The third sample shows what a change looks like when the AI note fails the automatic checks: the quoted change is shown on its own, with no summary.
