A weekly competitive brief, not a 4-hour read of changelog feeds.
ChatGPT watches your competitors' blogs, changelogs, pricing pages, hiring posts, and ad spend, and synthesizes a one-page brief with the changes that actually warrant your attention.
Brief drafted — 12 sources cited. Action items pulled:

How does OpenAI (ChatGPT) work for Market Research automation?
OpenAI (ChatGPT) works for Market Research automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to OpenAI (ChatGPT) alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Market Research, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Synthesize the last 90 days of competitor blog posts
AI gathers market data from hundreds of sources and synthesizes it into actionable reports.
- 03
Pricing changes into a one-page brief for our Monday standup
Teams typically see days → Hours from scoping to report once the agent is in production.
- 04
You approve
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Governance
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What sources does it monitor?
Competitor blogs, changelogs, pricing pages, careers pages, GitHub repos (if public), G2 reviews, ad libraries (LinkedIn, Meta), and news mentions. You can add custom sources — Slack channels, podcasts, newsletters.
How does it know what's worth flagging?
It learns from what your team actually clicks and acts on. If you ignore pricing changes but care about feature shifts, the brief tilts that way over time.
Does it handle private signals — hiring intent, customer churn?
It can read public signals that imply private ones (e.g., a competitor hiring 8 EU compliance roles suggests an EU push). It doesn't scrape gated content or violate ToS on closed networks.
Can it draft response moves, not just observations?
Yes. Each flagged item comes with a suggested action — a counter-positioning post, a sales talk-track update, a product roadmap input — for your team to accept or discard.
Where does the brief land?
A Notion or Google Doc page each Monday, plus a Slack thread in #compete. Annual archive maintained for trend lookups.
