New: AI Research Automation Kit — Stop Doing Research Manually
Research is where momentum goes to die.
You mean to do it. You know you should track what competitors are shipping, what customers are actually complaining about, and where the market is moving. But it takes four hours minimum to do it properly, so you do it before a big decision and never between them.
That’s the trap. And it has a fix.
What We Built
The AI Research Automation Kit is a practical system for automating the research workflows you currently do manually (or skip entirely):
- Competitive intelligence
- Customer insight extraction from reviews and forums
- Market sizing and trend analysis
- Weekly research cadence that runs while you sleep
It’s not another collection of AI tips. It’s a layered system: cheap fast models for collection and extraction, frontier models for synthesis. The output is structured, comparable, and actionable — not a wall of AI prose.
The 5-Step Competitor Intelligence Chain
The centerpiece of the kit is a 5-step prompt chain for competitive intelligence:
- Surface changes — what did they ship, announce, or update this week?
- Analyze positioning — how has their messaging shifted?
- Identify gaps — what customer needs are they NOT addressing?
- Score the opportunity — which gaps are worth acting on?
- Write the brief — three sentences, key moves, top opportunity, recommended action.
Run this on your top 3 competitors weekly, unattended, in about 12 minutes. Review the outputs on Monday morning in 20. You now have better competitive awareness than most teams with dedicated analysts.
20 Research Prompts That Actually Work
Beyond the competitor chain, the kit includes 20 battle-tested research prompts across four categories:
Competitive: Pricing change detection, feature gap finders, content strategy reverse-engineering, funding and team radar.
Customer: Onboarding friction detection, churn reason extraction, power user pattern analysis, objection library building, jobs-to-be-done extraction.
Market: Emerging player scanning, regulatory and macro scanning, adjacent market move detection, price sensitivity benchmarking.
Content and SEO: Content gap discovery, SERP intent analysis, community demand scanning, viral content reverse-engineering.
Plus three strategic prompts: narrative positioning maps, pre-mortem research, and decision audits.
The Weekly Cadence
The kit includes a cron-ready weekly research cadence that runs Sunday night and surfaces what you need to know Monday morning. The structure:
- Competitor intelligence chain on your top 3
- Forum signal extraction for your category keywords
- News sweep: funding, acquisitions, launches in your space
Your Monday review takes 30 minutes. You read synthesized briefs, not raw data. You flag one or two items that change something — your messaging, your roadmap, your GTM. Everything else you can act on when it’s relevant.
