AI Competitor Tracker

Competitive intelligence on autopilot.

The Problem

Founders know they should watch competitors but rarely have time. Checking competitor websites weekly, monitoring their changelogs, tracking pricing changes—it's a manual grind. By the time you notice a competitor launched your planned feature, your customers are already asking about it.

The Solution

Add competitor URLs, and AI monitors them daily. Get alerts when pricing changes, new features launch, or messaging shifts. Weekly digest summarizes what competitors are up to. Never be blindsided by competitive moves again.

How it works:

1

Add competitors

URLs to monitor

2

AI monitors

Daily checks for changes

3

Get alerts

Instant or weekly digest

Market Research

  • Crayon, Klue raised $100M+ for enterprise competitive intel
  • No affordable solution for startups and small teams
  • Every SaaS founder obsesses over competitors—built-in demand

AI Prompts to Build This

1. Project Setup

Create a Next.js app for competitor monitoring. Features: - Dashboard: competitors list, recent changes, alerts - Add competitor: name, website URL, pages to monitor - Change timeline: history of detected changes - Alerts: email notifications, Slack integration - Weekly digest: AI-summarized competitive update Use Supabase for auth and storage. Set up cron job for daily checks.

2. Change Detection

Build the monitoring system: 1. Daily cron fetches competitor pages 2. Extract key content: pricing tables, feature lists, hero text, navigation 3. Compare to previous snapshot 4. AI analysis: "What changed and why does it matter?" 5. Classify change type: pricing, feature, messaging, design 6. Store snapshots for historical comparison Use Puppeteer for JavaScript-rendered pages. Filter out noise: timestamps, cookie banners, minor style changes.

3. Intelligence Reports

Create AI-powered intelligence: 1. Weekly email digest: "Here's what your competitors did this week" 2. Pricing comparison: table of all competitors' plans 3. Feature matrix: what each competitor offers 4. Trend analysis: "Competitor X has mentioned AI 5x more this month" 5. Strategic insights: AI suggests how to respond to changes Generate battle cards: one-pagers on how to position against each competitor.
