Competitor Research

How to monitor competitors, compare products and services, and conduct market analysis with your AI employee.

Last updated: April 14, 2026

Monitoring Competitors

Your AI employee can track your competitors' online presence and activities. Ask it to check a competitor's website for updates, search for recent news about them, or monitor their social media activity. You can set up regular checks through automation workflows to stay informed about competitor movements without manual effort. The AI stores findings in your knowledge base for easy retrieval later.

Competitor check

Research a competitor's recent activity.

You say:
What has CompetitorX been up to lately? Check their website and recent news.
Sarudo responds:
Here's what I found on CompetitorX: They launched a new "Enterprise Plus" plan last week at $499/month (up from their previous $349). Their blog announced a partnership with DataCorp for analytics integration. In the news, TechCrunch reported they raised a $15M Series A on April 1st. Their careers page shows 12 open positions, mostly in engineering and sales — suggesting rapid growth. I've saved these findings to your knowledge base under "competitors."

Comparing Products & Services

Ask your AI employee to compare your product with a competitor's and it will research both, identify differences, and present a structured comparison. It can compare pricing, features, target markets, positioning, and customer reviews. This is invaluable for sales calls where you need to articulate your advantages, and for strategic planning where you need to understand the competitive landscape.

Market Analysis

For broader market intelligence, your AI employee can research industry trends, market size estimates, growth projections, and regulatory changes. It aggregates information from multiple sources including news articles, industry reports, analyst commentary, and public data. While it cannot access paid research databases, it can find a wealth of publicly available market intelligence and synthesize it into actionable insights.

ℹ️

For deep market analysis, give the AI specific aspects to research. "Analyze the SMB accounting software market" is good; "Focus on pricing trends and new entrants in the SMB accounting software market in 2026" is better.

Building a Competitive Intelligence File

Over time, your AI employee builds a comprehensive competitive intelligence file by accumulating findings from multiple research sessions. Each time you research a competitor, the new information is added to existing records. You can ask for a full competitive overview at any time and get an up-to-date summary of everything the AI knows about each competitor. This living document becomes increasingly valuable as more data is collected.
