The problem it solves

Putting together a competitor and market analysis for a new client usually means hours of manual research and writing. By the time the report is done, you've burned a day you could have spent on strategy.

Who it fits

Marketing and consulting agencies that need fast, credible competitor research for client pitches.

How it works

  1. You provide a client's business name and industry
  2. The system scrapes the web to find and gather data on their top competitors
  3. AI analyzes the data and builds a full SWOT-style strategic breakdown
  4. A second AI writes the findings into a professional report inside a Google Docs template
  5. The finished report is posted to your team's Slack channel
What you get

Competitor insights ready before the pitch

You get a polished competitor analysis report built automatically and shared with your team on Slack.

What you get

A ready-to-review competitor analysis report in Google Docs, delivered to your team on Slack.

What you need

An Apify account, an OpenAI API key, a Google account, 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.
