What it does

This is a conversational agent your sales reps invoke mid-deal. Ask it about a competitor by name and it fetches that competitor's current pricing live, compares it to your equivalent plans pulled from your own pricing table, and answers in the thread with a concise, deal-ready comparison.

When to use it

Use it when reps need an answer in seconds during a live conversation and the weekly digest is too stale or too broad. It answers the specific 'how do we compare to X right now' question without anyone leaving Slack.

How it works

The agent is triggered by a chat message naming a competitor. A logic step resolves the name to a known pricing URL from your Postgres watchlist (or asks for clarification if unknown). Firecrawl scrapes that page live, and an OpenAI step builds a side-by-side comparison against your own plans, highlighting where you win on price or value. The agent replies directly in the Slack thread with the comparison and a one-line recommended talking point the rep can use immediately.
