AI for Marketplaces: Automated Price and Stock Monitoring in 2026

Manual monitoring of tens of thousands of products on Wildberries and Ozon is a thing of the past. Today, in June 2026, when competition on marketplaces has peaked, only those sellers who use AI for marketplaces survive. In this article, we'll break down how an AI agent automates analytics for Wildberries, Ozon, and other platforms, and how to implement it without unnecessary costs. ## Why Manual Monitoring Is Killing Your Business Every hour of downtime without up-to-date data on prices and stock is lost sales. Imagine: a competitor on Wildberries runs out of stock, you fail to raise your price in time, and lose margin. Or vice versa—your warehouse is empty, but the system keeps accepting orders. With AI automation, such situations become a thing of the past. ### Problems with the Manual Approach: - **Human error**: mistakes when copying data from the personal account. - **Time costs**: monitoring 1000 SKUs takes up to 8 hours a day. - **Delays**: information becomes outdated in 15-20 minutes, but you find out about the problem an hour later. ## How an AI Agent Changes the Game Modern AI agents, similar to those described in our guide to multi-tools (/blog/ai-multitool-guide), are capable not just of collecting data, but of analyzing it in real time. Here's how it works in practice: ### Price Monitoring on Wildberries and Ozon An AI agent checks competitors' prices every 5-10 minutes, analyzes demand dynamics, and automatically adjusts your price. For example, if the average price of Nike sneakers among the top 3 competitors drops by 12%, the system suggests lowering yours by 8% to stay at the top of search results. ### Stock Control in Warehouses When the AI agent sees that the quantity of a product in the Wildberries warehouse drops below a threshold (e.g., 50 units), it: 1. Sends a notification to Telegram. 2. Automatically creates a supply request. 3. Adjusts the price upward by 5-10% to increase margin on the remaining stock. ### Case Study: 34% Sales Growth in a Month One of our clients—an electronics seller—implemented an AI agent for Ozon monitoring. Results after 30 days: | Metric | Before AI | After AI | Change | |---------|-----------|----------|--------| | Monitoring time | 5 hours/day | 15 minutes/day | -90% | | Average margin | 18% | 24% | +6 p.p. | | Order errors | 12 per month | 0 | -100% | | Revenue | 1.2 million RUB | 1.6 million RUB | +34% | ## Steps to Implement an AI Agent for Marketplaces To set up analytics automation, follow 4 steps: ### 1. Connect Marketplace APIs Wildberries and Ozon provide open APIs for loading data on prices, stock, and orders. The AI agent uses them to collect information. If you're just starting, check out the article on creating prompts for AI agents (/blog/vibe-coding-prompts)—it has templates for quick setup. ### 2. Configure Monitoring Rules Define triggers: - If a competitor's price is 5% lower than yours—lower the price. - If stock is less than 30—raise the price by 10%. - If demand has increased by 20% in an hour—increase the advertising budget. ### 3. Integrate with CRM or ERP The AI agent can automatically update data in your accounting system. For example, when stock on Wildberries drops to 0—write off the product from the internal warehouse. ### 4. Launch a Trial Period Start by monitoring 100-200 SKUs for a week. Compare results with manual management. In 90% of cases, AI shows greater accuracy and response speed. ## Comparison of AI Agents for Different Marketplaces | Platform | AI Strengths | Features | |----------|--------------|----------| | Wildberries | Dynamic pricing, stock control | High competition in the "Clothing" category | | Ozon | Seasonality analysis, demand forecasting | Works better for long-cycle products | | Yandex.Market | Price comparison with dozens of stores | Requires integration with external warehouses | | SberMegaMarket | Automation of promotions and discounts | Fewer competitors, higher margin | ## Common Mistakes in Automation Even with AI, you can make mistakes.
