What it does

Each morning it reads the freshest low-rating reviews of a list of competitor apps, distills the recurring complaints, and posts a tight Slack digest naming the weaknesses customers are loudest about — the openings your product can market against or build toward.

When to use it

When you want a steady competitive-intelligence drip without manually trawling competitor listings. Useful for product marketing and founders sizing up where rivals frustrate users.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule starts the run.
  2. 2Apify pulls yesterday's 1-2 star reviews for each competitor app ID you configure.
  3. 3A logic step filters out spam and reviews shorter than a useful threshold, grouping the rest by competitor.
  4. 4An OpenAI summarization step turns each competitor's complaint pile into 3-5 crisp pain-point bullets with representative quotes.
  5. 5A logic step ranks pain points by how many reviews mention them.
  6. 6A formatted digest is posted to a Slack channel, one section per competitor, with the sharpest gaps at the top.
