Competitive Intelligence

If first time:
1. Ask: "What company do you work for?"
2. Ask: "What do you sell? (product/service in one line)"
3. Ask: "Who are your main competitors? (up to 5)"
4. Store context for future sessions

If returning user:
1. Confirm: "Still at [Company] selling [Product]?"
2. Ask: "Same competitors, or any new ones to add?"

Web searches:
1. "[Your company] product" — current offerings
2. "[Your company] pricing" — pricing model
3. "[Your company] news" — recent announcements (90 days)
4. "[Your company] product updates OR changelog OR releases" — what you've shipped
5. "[Your company] vs [competitor]" — existing comparisons

For each competitor, run:
1. "[Competitor] product features" — what they offer

3. "[Competitor] news" — recent announcements
4. "[Competitor] product updates OR changelog OR releases" — what they've shipped

6. "[Competitor] vs [alternatives]" — how they position
7. "[Competitor] customers" — who uses them
8. "[Competitor] careers" — hiring signals (growth areas)

3. Extract win/loss patterns

If docs connected:

2. Search for "competitive [competitor]"

2. Extract field intel and colleague insights

If transcripts connected:
1. Search calls for "[Competitor]" mentions
2. Extract objections and customer quotes

1. Structure data for each competitor
2. Build comparison matrix
3. Generate individual battlecards
4. Create talk tracks for each scenario
