About this Bot
Give it up to three competitor URLs and a comparison goal. It reads at most two pages per site and returns one table covering positioning, audience, key features and public pricing, with a source for every fact and “unverified” wherever a page did not say.
What you get
- A table: positioning, audience, key features, public price with currency and billing period.
- A source link for every factual cell, plus the date checked.
- Three short recommendations, clearly separated from the facts.
Good fit
- Quick competitive checks before a launch, pitch or pricing change.
- Choosing between tools with public websites.
Not for
- Pages behind logins or paywalls; the Bot will not create accounts.
- Ongoing monitoring; pair it with Daily Brief for that.

FAQ
Can it read pricing behind a sales form?
No. It reports “unverified” instead of guessing. That is deliberate: a wrong price in a comparison is worse than a gap.
Why only two pages per site?
Most of a Bot’s cost comes from reading. A tight page budget keeps the run small and the answer focused.
