The problem it solves

You want to stay on top of what competitors and key contacts are posting on LinkedIn, but scrolling through profiles every day eats up time you don't have. Important updates like a product launch or a new hire get buried in the noise, and by the time you notice, you've already missed the moment to react.

Who it fits

A business development or marketing team tracking competitors, leads, or industry influencers on LinkedIn.

How it works

  1. Every week, the system checks a list of LinkedIn profiles you're tracking for new posts.
  2. AI reads each post, writes a one-sentence summary, and tags it by type, like product launch or hiring.
  3. Posts marked high priority based on your criteria are pulled out from the rest.
  4. A clean digest of the important updates is sent to your team in Slack.
  5. Every post is also saved to a searchable archive in Airtable.
What you get

Competitor moves you hear about first

What you get

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
