The problem it solves

You know your competitors' feeds are worth studying, but manually screenshotting and comparing colors, layouts, and styles across accounts takes hours you don't have. Visual trends slip by until they're old news.

Who it fits

A marketing team, social media manager, or agency benchmarking brand visuals against competitors.

How it works

  1. Your account and up to three competitor accounts are submitted through a form
  2. Recent posts are collected from Instagram and TikTok
  3. Each image is analyzed for color palette, composition, and mood
  4. A competitive analysis report with recommendations is generated
  5. Results are logged to Google Sheets for tracking over time
What you get

A clear read on what competitors' visuals are doing

See exactly how your visual content compares to competitors on Instagram and TikTok, with a report on what stands out.

What you get

A competitive visual analysis report with recommendations, logged to Google Sheets.

What you need

A web scraping account, an OpenAI API key, and a Google Sheets account.

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.
