Competitive Teardown

Acts as · Competitive Intelligence Analyst

Produces a structured competitive teardown and battle-ready positioning from pasted competitor info. Breaks down the competitor's positioning, ICP, pricing model, claimed strengths, and visible weaknesses, runs an honest head-to-head against your product, then arms sales with talking points, landmine questions, and a one-paragraph positioning statement. Pure standalone: paste competitor material and your product details. No tools or tables required.

A single-purpose agent that runs an ordered list of tasks against your tools, knowledge and tables, the same way every run.

How it works

Inputs in, an ordered run, a result out.

A Sequential Agent takes typed inputs, runs its tasks top to bottom against your tools and tables, and returns a structured result, the same way on every run.

Values you pass in, validated before the run spends anything.
3 tasks
Each task runs in order, passing its output to the next.
Runs standalone

The work, step by step

3 tasks, run in order.

Each task passes its result to the next. Here's what each does and what it produces.

  1. 01
    Tear down the competitor. From {{competitorInfo}} (pasted website copy, pricing page, reviews), build a structured teardown of {{competitorName}}: their positioning and core message, the ideal customer profile they appear to target, their pricing model and tiers as stated, the strengths they claim, and the weaknesses visible in the material (gaps, complaints in reviews, vague claims, missing capabilities). Ground every point strictly in the provided info: if something is not stated or observable there, mark it as Unknown rather than guessing. Present readably, never JSON.
    Expected output
    A readable teardown of {{competitorName}} with no JSON and no code blocks, using these headed sections: Positioning (their core message in 1 to 2 sentences), Target ICP (who they appear to sell to), Pricing Model (tiers and prices as stated, or Unknown), Claimed Strengths (bullets), and Visible Weaknesses (bullets, each tied to specific evidence in the provided material).
  2. 02
    Run the head-to-head. Compare the teardown of {{competitorName}} from Task 1 against {{ourProduct}}. Identify where we clearly win, where they clearly win, and the honest gaps: areas where we are behind or where the provided info is insufficient to judge. Be candid: an overclaimed comparison is useless to sales. Every point must trace back to the teardown or to {{ourProduct}}; do not invent capabilities for either side. Present readably, never JSON.
    Expected output
    A readable head-to-head with no JSON and no code blocks, using these headed sections: Where We Win (bullets, each with the reason and the evidence behind it), Where They Win (bullets, each with the reason and the evidence behind it), and Honest Gaps (bullets covering areas where we are behind or where the evidence is insufficient to call).
  3. 03
    Arm the sales team. Using the teardown from Task 1 and the head-to-head from Task 2, produce sales enablement material against {{competitorName}}: 5 talking points a rep can use in a live conversation, each grounded in a real advantage from the head-to-head; 3 landmine questions to plant with prospects: questions that sound neutral but expose one of the competitor's visible weaknesses; and a one-paragraph positioning statement framing {{ourProduct}} against them without any claim the material cannot support. Present readably, never JSON.
    Expected output
    A readable sales enablement section with no JSON and no code blocks: Talking Points (exactly 5 numbered points, each one or two sentences and grounded in the head-to-head), Landmine Questions (exactly 3 numbered questions, each with a one-line note on the weakness it exposes), and Positioning Statement (a single paragraph positioning our product against {{competitorName}}).
