FAQ

Common questions

The agent pulls from live web data across public sources: company websites, press releases, job postings (for team sizing and product signals), G2/Capterra reviews, Crunchbase for funding, LinkedIn for leadership, and news articles. Every finding links back to its source.

Every finding includes a confidence score (0–100%) based on how many sources corroborate it. Reports typically average 80–90% confidence on factual claims like pricing and product features. Historical or less-publicized facts may score lower — and the agent flags these so you can verify.

Yes. You can specify a market segment (e.g., "HR software companies with 200–2000 employees") or a list of specific competitors. The agent will produce a structured report for each and a side-by-side comparison with key differentiators.

Each competitor report automatically generates a sales battlecard: key pricing, top 3 strengths, top 3 weaknesses (from reviews), competitive gaps to exploit, objection handling scripts, and suggested discovery questions for discovery calls. Ready to hand to your sales team.

On the Starter plan you get 30 runs per month. On the Pro plan, unlimited. You can also set up watchlists with automated alerts — the agent will notify you when a tracked competitor appears in the news or changes their pricing.
