The problem it solves

You know your competitors are doing something right on LinkedIn, but figuring out what actually works means scrolling through their posts by hand and guessing. By the time you spot a pattern, the trend has moved on.

Who it fits

A marketing team or agency that wants to benchmark content strategy against competitors.

How it works

  1. You provide a competitor's LinkedIn post link
  2. The automation pulls the post's content and engagement numbers
  3. AI analyzes what made the post effective
  4. Key takeaways are written up in plain language
  5. Everything is saved to a spreadsheet for easy reference
What you get

Competitor tactics explained in plain language

You get a clear breakdown of what makes a competitor's post work, saved straight to a spreadsheet for your next content review.

What you get

A spreadsheet of competitor posts with AI-written insights on what worked and why.

What you need

A Bright Data account, a Google Gemini API key, and Google Sheets.

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.
