Competitor teardown
Model notes: Browsing helps
Fill in the variables (optional — they're inserted live below):
Do a teardown of {{competitor}} for someone building {{my_product}}.
Cover: positioning (their one-line pitch), target customer, pricing and packaging, acquisition channels you can observe (SEO pages, ads, communities, integrations), product strengths, common complaints (from reviews/forums), and gaps I could exploit. Separate verified facts (with sources) from your inferences.
How to use it
- Fill the variables above, or replace each
{{variable}}after pasting. - Paste into your AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Claude Code, or a local model in Ollama/LM Studio).
- Review the output. Models make mistakes, especially with facts, numbers and code.
