The problem it solves

Market research means jumping between search engines, trend tools, and scraping sites, then writing up what you found. That context-switching eats a huge chunk of the day and the findings rarely end up where your team actually works.

Who it fits

Marketing, product, or competitive intelligence teams who track trends and competitors inside their task management tool.

How it works

  1. You type a command into a task, like search competitor pricing or trends AI tools
  2. The system reads the command and figures out what kind of research to run
  3. It searches the web, pulls trend data, or crawls a site depending on the command
  4. Claude reviews the results and writes a summary with insights and recommendations
  5. The summary is posted back to the task as a comment
What you get

Market research posted where you work

You get instant market research posted back to your task, complete with AI-written insights and recommendations.

What you get

A task comment containing an AI-written research summary with insights and recommendations.

What you need

A Linear account, a Scrapeless API account, and an Anthropic Claude 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.
