Before & after

Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.

Prompt“Analyze our three main competitors and build a battle card for sales.”
Beforegeneric AI agent
Competitive analysis involves gathering information from a bunch of different sources—their websites, app store reviews, job postings, social media, that kind of thing. You'd want to compare features, pricing, positioning, and customer feedback. Creating a battle card means summarizing the key differences so your sales team knows how to position against each competitor. It takes time to collect all this data though. Do you want a simple feature comparison or something more detailed with SWOT analysis and positioning strategy?

COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE REPORT

COMPETITOR 1: CloudAgent Pro
Market position: Early-stage, well-funded (Series B, 45M raised)
Pricing: 299/month base, 2K/month for enterprise
Customer tier: Mid-market tech companies, 100-500 employees
Feature score (vs us): 7.2/10
  → Strengths: better mobile app, more pre-built integrations
  → Weaknesses: slower task execution, limited customization
Customer satisfaction (G2 reviews): 4.1/5 (n=120 reviews), churn complaints about pricing
Go-to-market: Direct sales, expensive paid acquisition (CAC ~3K)

COMPETITOR 2: BuildAI
Market position: Competitor and partner (strategic integrations)
Pricing: 499/month, no enterprise option listed
Customer tier: Enterprise only (self-selected)
Feature score (vs us): 8.7/10
  → Strengths: superior customization, dedicated support
  → Weaknesses: slower onboarding, steeper learning curve
Customer satisfaction (G2 reviews): 4.6/5 (n=85 reviews), strong technical support praise
Go-to-market: Strategic partnerships, high contract values (500K+ average)

COMPETITOR 3: SimpleAgents
Market position: Competitor (same ICP)
Pricing: 99/month, highly self-serve
Customer tier: Startups, freelancers, SMBs
Feature score (vs us): 5.1/10
  → Strengths: cheap, simple UX, fast to deploy
  → Weaknesses: limited scale, reliability issues (frequent errors)
Customer satisfaction (G2 reviews): 3.8/5 (n=45 reviews), complaints about support responsiveness
Go-to-market: SEO, content marketing, bottom-up product adoption

POSITIONING MAP
X-axis: Price (99 → 500)
Y-axis: Enterprise-readiness (startup-friendly → enterprise-grade)

  BuildAI: top-right (most expensive, most robust)
  SimpleAgents: bottom-left (cheap, unstable)

SALES BATTLE CARDS

IF PROSPECT ASKS ABOUT CLOUDAGENT PRO:
"They're less expensive upfront, but their mobile app and integrations hide a 40% slower execution time. Our customers run 3x more tasks per day because we don't have that bottleneck."

IF PROSPECT ASKS ABOUT BUILDAI:
"BuildAI is enterprise-focused and expensive. We offer 80% of their features at 40% of the cost. Good fit if you need white-glove support, but most teams don't need that level of hand-holding after onboarding."

IF PROSPECT ASKS ABOUT SIMPLEAGENTS:
"SimpleAgents is cheap but unreliable. You'll spend more time firefighting failed tasks than saving money. We've had customers switch from SimpleAgents and reduce their error rate from 8% to under 0.5%."

OUR ADVANTAGE SUMMARY
→ Best price-to-feature ratio
→ Faster execution than CloudAgent Pro
→ Better value than BuildAI (80% features, 40% cost)
→ More reliable than SimpleAgents (99.5% uptime vs 94%)

About this skill

See a competitor's product exactly the way your buyers do, from the homepage to the cancel button. Every finding is backed by timed, first-hand evidence instead of guesses from a marketing page.

What it does

  • Runs a 9-stage walkthrough: positioning, signup, onboarding, core workflow, pricing, paywalls, lifecycle emails, support, and cancellation
  • Measures friction: fields, clicks, and minutes to first value, with a 1-5 friction score per stage
  • Breaks down pricing and packaging: value metric, feature gates, trial terms, and costs not on the pricing page
  • Separates observed facts from inferences and labels competitor claims as claims
  • Ends with a steal / avoid / counter list your product and sales teams can act on

What you get

A dated teardown report with an evidence-backed journey log, pricing and monetization notes, positioning claimed vs experienced, and open items. Without browser access it works from your screenshots and says so.

Best for

Product managers, growth and onboarding teams, and sales enablement when one competitor keeps showing up in lost deals.

name: competitive-teardown
description: Tear down ONE competitor's product hands-on, the way a buyer experiences it - positioning and homepage, signup friction, onboarding and time to first value, the core workflow, pricing and packaging, paywalls and upgrade prompts, lifecycle emails, and the cancel flow - with a timed, evidence-logged walkthrough and a steal / avoid / counter list. Use when the user says "tear down Competitor X", "walk through their onboarding", "how does their free trial work?", "why are we losing deals to X?", "what can we learn from X's pricing page?", "do a product teardown", or "sign up for X and tell me what it's like".
