The problem it solves

Understanding what your competitors are doing means visiting their sites, reading reviews, and comparing pricing and features by hand. It takes hours to do properly and goes stale the moment you finish.

Who it fits

Marketing or product teams who need up-to-date competitor intelligence without doing the legwork themselves.

How it works

  1. You give it a source company to start from
  2. AI finds a list of similar companies in your space
  3. Duplicate results are removed automatically
  4. For each competitor, AI agents research the company, its products, and customer reviews
  5. The findings are compiled into a report saved in Notion
What you get

Competitor intelligence organized before you decide

You get a Notion report on similar companies, their products, and customer reviews, built from a single starting company.

What you get

A Notion database of competitor profiles covering company overview, product details, and customer sentiment.

What you need

An Exa.ai account, an OpenAI API key, and a Notion 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.
