In simple English
This tool watches your competitors on the web and tells you what they do. It searches news, reads articles, and pulls out important events like product launches and funding rounds. You can run it locally with sample data or connect it to live search tools. It saves everything into a database and makes neat dashboards for you to read.
What it is
A Python-based competitive intelligence pipeline that uses AI search (Tavily), language models (OpenRouter), and a data indexing framework (CocoIndex) to track companies. It extracts structured events from news articles and exposes them through command-line tools and a Model Context Protocol server.
What it is good for
Solo founders and small teams who want automated competitor research without paying for expensive enterprise intelligence platforms.
- Runs on sample data right away without requiring any API keys or paid accounts.
- Exports findings into clean Markdown briefs, CSV files, and searchable HTML dashboards.
- Includes server tools so AI assistants can query your competitor database directly.
- Live mode requires external API keys for web search and language models, which cost money over time.
- Setting up PostgreSQL and configuring environment variables takes some technical patience.
- Relies on third-party AI models for extraction, so results can occasionally include minor hallucinations.
