AI market research tools that watch your competitors weekly
Most companies check their competitors when a deal is lost or a launch is near, and by then the picture is months old. Competitor Research Agent keeps a standing watch. It reads the public pages of the companies you name, notes what changed since last week, and explains what that means for your own positioning.
The weekly digest and what goes into it
The agent produces one deliverable per cycle, a digest that sums up the week across every rival you track.
- 01Changes on tracked competitor pages, such as a new homepage headline, a rewritten feature page or a removed claim.
- 02Pricing and packaging shifts, including new plans, renamed tiers and changed limits that are visible on public pricing pages.
- 03New content they published, like articles, comparison pages and landing pages aimed at your buyers.
- 04Positioning gaps, where a rival is silent on a problem your ideal customer cares about and your offer covers it.
The digest is one agent task, no matter how many competitors it covers within your plan's limit.
Because every digest is stored in the work history, you build a dated record of how each rival has presented itself over time. That record is handy before a pricing review, a website rewrite or a sales training session, when someone asks when a competitor started leading with a particular promise. Every observation links back to the page it came from, so anyone on your team can verify it in seconds.
How a digest card is laid out
Research is only useful if you can act on it, so the card separates observation from interpretation.
Approving the digest adds it to the work history and makes its suggestions available to the agents that can act on them. You can edit the interpretation, ask the agent to dig deeper into one rival, or reject a finding you disagree with.
- A summary at the top with the two or three changes that matter most this week.
- One section per competitor, quoting the old and new wording where a page changed, with the address of the page.
- A short "what this means for us" note under each change, written against the offer and customer in your brief.
- Suggested responses, such as a page to update, a post to publish or an objection to address in sales copy.
Public web pages only
The agent reads only what any visitor can see on a competitor's public website. It does not log in to rival products, use leaked material or scrape behind paywalls. This keeps the research clean and defensible, and it means you can quote any finding back to its public page. There is no integration to set up: add competitor web addresses to the agent's scope and the next digest includes them.
Competitors you can track on each plan
| Plan | Competitors tracked |
|---|---|
| Starter | 3 |
| Team | 8 |
| Department | 20 per brand |
| Enterprise | 50 per brand |
The digest arrives weekly. Starter suits a founder keeping an eye on the three closest alternatives. Agencies on Department track up to 20 per client brand, with each brand's digest kept in its own workspace. Plan prices and shared task allowances sit on AI marketing agents pricing.
What stays off limits
- 01No access to anything behind a login, a paywall or a private account.
- 02No contact with competitors, their staff or their customers.
- 03No guessing at revenue, customer counts or internal numbers it cannot see on a public page.
- 04No copying of competitor copy into your own deliverables.
Turning research into work for other agents
Findings become assignments elsewhere on the roster. A positioning gap can become a content brief for Content Agent, a rival's new comparison page can prompt SEO Agent to check your matching page, and a pricing change can shape the next concept set from Ads Agent. During a product launch, this agent works from the same launch brief as Content, Social Media and Email agents, so the whole message is built with the market in view. The AI agent team page shows this lineup in full.
FAQ
-
01
How do I choose which competitors to track?
Start with the companies your buyers mention most often or compare you with. You can replace a tracked competitor at any time within your plan's limit.
-
02
Does it track competitor ads or social accounts?
It focuses on public web pages, including landing pages that ads point to. Ad accounts and private social data of other companies are never accessed.
-
03
Can I get an alert in the middle of the week?
The agent works on a weekly cycle. If you need a fresh look sooner, request an extra digest, which counts as one more agent task.
-
04
Is this a replacement for a full market research study?
No. It is continuous monitoring of public positioning and pricing. Surveys, interviews and market sizing are outside its scope.
