Your AI Partner can act as a strategic business analyst, providing in-depth competitive intelligence reports tailored to your business. This feature helps you understand your market, identify opportunities, and develop actionable strategies.
Generate a Competitive Intelligence Report
From your Durable dashboard, navigate to the left-hand menu.
Under Agents, click AI Partner.
In the chat interface, click the Competitive intelligence report prompt card.
The AI Partner will begin preparing for research and present two options: Research Mode and Regular answer.
Select Use Research Mode for a comprehensive analysis.
The AI Partner will display its research progress, showing steps like Identifying top competitors, Evaluate online presence and "Catalog strengths and weaknesses."
During the research process, you can click Show sources next to each step to view the external data sources the AI Partner is using.
Once the research is complete, the AI Partner will generate a detailed report, typically titled "Your Business Detailing: Competitor Landscape & Strategic Playbook" or similar.
Review the report, which includes an introduction, an analysis of your top competitors, and a "90-Day Playbook" with recommended actions.
Choose Your Research Mode
When initiating a competitive intelligence report, AI Partner offers two modes:
Research Mode: The default choice for a full strategic overview. It runs a comprehensive analysis of your market and competitors, covering strategies, positioning, and opportunities.
Regular answer: A faster option when you already have a specific question, like "who are my top three competitors" or "what's the average price in my industry," and don't need the full report.
Choose Research Mode for the complete picture, and Regular answer when you just need a quick answer.
Review Your Competitive Analysis Report
The generated report offers a detailed breakdown of your competitive landscape. It typically includes:
An overview of your business's current standing.
Identification and analysis of your top competitors, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.
Insights into market opportunities and underserved segments within your industry.
A summary of the research methodology and sources used.
You can always click Show sources during the research phase to see where the AI Partner is gathering its information.
Understand Your 90-Day Playbook
A key component of the competitive intelligence report is the "90-Day Playbook." This section provides actionable steps and strategic recommendations designed to help you leverage the insights from the report. The playbook focuses on enhancing your business strategy, improving your competitive edge, and capitalizing on identified market opportunities over a three-month period.
Ideas to try
Analyze competitor pricing: "Analyze the pricing strategies of my top three competitors and suggest adjustments for my services."
Identify market opportunities: "What are the key market opportunities for a [your business type] in [your city/region]?"
Develop a marketing plan: "Based on the identified weaknesses of my competitors, suggest a 90-day marketing plan focusing on [specific marketing channel, e.g., social media, local SEO]."
Find underserved segments: "Identify underserved customer segments in the [your industry] industry in my area."
