How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionFind each transcript / IR pageExa
  • ActionScrape located transcriptsFirecrawl
  • LogicCluster themes across companies, flag outliers
  • OutputWrite synthesized cross-competitor briefCodaCoda

What it does

Goes beyond per-company extraction to synthesis. Given a competitor set, the agent locates each company's most recent earnings transcript, reads them, then reasons across the whole set to identify shared industry narratives ("everyone is cutting capex," "three of five are repositioning around AI agents") versus company-specific bets. It produces a narrative brief, not just a grid, including which competitors are converging and which are outliers.

When to use it

When you want an analyst-style synthesis after earnings season — a brief you could hand to a strategy or exec team — rather than a deterministic cell-by-cell extraction.

How it works

  1. 1A team member kicks off the run with the competitor set and target quarter.
  2. 2The agent uses Exa to find each company's official transcript or investor-relations page.
  3. 3Firecrawl scrapes the located transcripts to clean text.
  4. 4The agent reads all transcripts, clusters themes across companies, and flags convergence and outliers, citing supporting quotes.
  5. 5The synthesized cross-competitor brief is written into a Coda doc for the strategy team.
