The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on what competitors are posting takes constant manual checking, and coming up with fresh content ideas on top of that is exhausting. Most weeks, it just doesn't happen.

Who it fits

Small content brands and solo creators who want to track competitors without the manual work.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically once a week
  2. Scans each competitor page you specify
  3. AI summarizes what each page covers
  4. A second AI brainstorms content ideas based on the findings
  5. Saves everything to a Google Sheet and emails you a digest
What you get

Competitor moves you learn about every week without searching

Every week you get a summary of your competitors' latest content along with fresh ideas ready to try.

What you get

A weekly email digest with competitor summaries and ready-to-use content ideas.

What you need

Accounts for a web-scraping service, OpenAI, Google Gemini, 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.
