What it does

Monitors Brave Search for fresh mentions of your competitors paired with frustration or evaluation language, then drops a Slack alert your sales team can act on within minutes. Each alert includes who/where the signal came from and a one-line switch pitch tailored to the complaint.

When to use it

Use it when competitive displacement is a core motion and timing matters — you want to reach an unhappy prospect while they're actively shopping, not weeks later. Best for teams that triage warm signals live in Slack.

How it works

  1. 1An hourly schedule starts the run.
  2. 2Brave Search queries competitor names combined with intent phrases like 'alternative', 'switching from', or 'too expensive'.
  3. 3A filter removes job posts, the competitor's own domains, and previously alerted URLs.
  4. 4OpenAI classifies the sentiment, extracts the specific gripe, and drafts a one-line opener.
  5. 5A branch routes only genuine switch-intent results forward.
  6. 6A formatted alert with the source link and draft opener posts to the Slack outreach channel.
