Get daily AI insights on your competitors' Instagram posts

Each day, AI reviews your competitors' Instagram activity and sends your team a strategy summary.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues; runs once per each competitor.

The problem it solves

You know keeping an eye on competitors matters, but manually checking their Instagram every day is not realistic on top of running your own business. By the time you notice a trend, your competitors are already ahead of you.

Who it fits

Marketing teams and business owners who want to track competitor activity on Instagram without doing it by hand.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system reads your list of competitors from Google Sheets
  2. It pulls each competitor's recent Instagram posts and measures engagement
  3. AI reviews the results and writes a short strategy summary
  4. The summary is sent by email and text message
  5. Every alert is logged in Google Sheets for future reference
What you get

Competitor moves you see before you're asked about them

You get a daily strategy summary of what your competitors are posting and how it's performing on Instagram.

What you get

A daily email and text alert summarizing competitor trends, plus a historical log.

What you need

An Instagram Graph API connection, a Google account, an AI service, and a texting service.

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.
