The problem it solves

You know competitors are being talked about on Reddit, but reading through hundreds of posts to find useful insight takes hours you don't have. Real complaints and openings can slip by unnoticed while you're busy running your business.

Who it fits

Marketing and strategy teams who track competitor reputation and want an edge.

How it works

  1. Every Monday morning, the system checks your list of competitor brands
  2. It pulls recent Reddit posts about each one
  3. AI reads the posts and scores how positive, neutral, or negative the conversation is
  4. It flags the biggest complaints, praises, and vulnerability areas
  5. High-opportunity competitors trigger an email alert to your team
What you get

Competitor weaknesses spotted every week

You get a weekly read on competitor sentiment on Reddit, with real opportunities flagged for your team.

What you get

A weekly sentiment report in Google Sheets, plus email alerts for the biggest competitive openings.

What you need

A web-scraping data provider account, an OpenAI API key, a Google account, and Gmail.

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.
