How this workflow was built
Internal Demo implemented this system using TinyCommand as the execution layer.
- Competitor database
TinyTables stores competitor profiles with data enrichment pulling company size, funding, tech stack, and social profiles automatically.
- Automated discovery
The workflow searches for new competitors based on keywords and industry filters, adding them to the database automatically.
- AI benchmarking
TinyGPT analyzes each competitor against your product on key dimensions: features, pricing, positioning, and market presence.
- Benchmarking report
The system generates a structured competitive report with strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for each competitor.
The Impact:
- Competitor data is always current, not quarterly
- AI analysis replaces hours of manual research
- New competitors are discovered automatically
- Structured insights ready for decision-making
The entire system was built in a single session.
This workflow also works for
- Investment teams doing market mapping
- Sales teams researching prospects
- Marketing teams analyzing competitor content
- Any team that needs structured competitive data
This is a system-first approach, not a tool-first one.
