What it does

This workflow mines your competitors' app-store reviews instead of your own. It pulls reviews for a list of rival apps, has an LLM separate what users love from what they hate, and produces a Notion page that maps competitor strengths and weaknesses into concrete positioning and roadmap opportunities for your product.

When to use it

Use it before a planning cycle or a launch when you want evidence-based competitive intel rather than guesswork. Useful for product marketing and strategy teams building a differentiation story.

How it works

  1. 1A monthly schedule starts the run over a configured list of competitor app IDs.
  2. 2Apify scrapes recent reviews for each competitor.
  3. 3OpenAI extracts praised features and recurring complaints per competitor and tags each as a strength or gap.
  4. 4A synthesis step compares findings across competitors to surface gaps no one solves well.
  5. 5A Notion page is created with a competitor matrix, top opportunities, and supporting quotes for the strategy team.
