The problem it solves

Staying on top of industry news and what competitors are saying means checking a rotating list of sites and articles every day, then trying to spot the patterns yourself. That kind of ongoing research rarely happens consistently when everyone is busy running the business.

Who it fits

Marketing teams, product managers, and founders who need regular competitive intelligence without doing the research themselves.

How it works

  1. Each day the system pulls the latest industry news and scrapes your listed competitor sites
  2. All the content is sent to AI for analysis
  3. The AI identifies trends, strengths and weaknesses, and recommended actions
  4. The full report is saved to a Notion database
  5. An executive summary is posted to Slack
What you get

Market trends summarized before your next meeting

You get a daily competitive intelligence report with trends, strengths, weaknesses, and recommended actions posted straight to Slack and Notion.

What you get

A structured market research report in Notion, plus a summary in Slack, updated on a schedule.

What you need

An OpenAI account, a NewsAPI account, a Notion workspace, and a Slack workspace.

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.
