What it does

Tracks how your brand sentiment stacks up against competitors over time. Each week it scrapes mentions of you and a list of rivals, computes net sentiment for each, and watches the gap. When a competitor pulls ahead by more than your tolerance, it generates a short gap-analysis explaining what is driving the swing and routes it to the comms team.

When to use it

Use it when share-of-voice and relative perception matter more than your absolute numbers, especially in crowded categories where a competitor's win is effectively your loss.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule kicks off the run.
  2. 2Apify scrapes mentions for your brand and each tracked competitor.
  3. 3OpenAI scores net sentiment per brand and surfaces the dominant narrative behind each.
  4. 4A logic step computes the gap and exits if no competitor exceeds the threshold.
  5. 5When the gap widens, Perplexity pulls recent context on the leading competitor's moves.
  6. 6An agent writes a concise gap-analysis brief.
  7. 7The brief is delivered to the comms Discord channel.
