The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on what competitors are doing means checking their websites over and over, and you still miss changes that happen between visits. By the time you notice a price drop or new feature, you're already behind.

Who it fits

Product managers, founders, and marketing teams who need to react quickly to competitor moves.

How it works

  1. Competitor websites and pricing pages are checked on a weekly schedule
  2. Any changes since the last scan are detected automatically
  3. AI reviews what changed and explains what it means strategically
  4. Every scan and analysis is logged for historical tracking
  5. Urgent changes trigger an instant alert, and a full summary is emailed weekly
What you get

Competitor moves you hear about first

You get weekly alerts the moment a competitor changes pricing, features, or messaging, with a plain-language explanation of what the change means for you.

What you get

A running competitive intelligence log, instant alerts on major changes, and a weekly summary email.

What you need

An Anthropic Claude API key, a Notion workspace, a Slack workspace, and a Gmail 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.
