Competitive Intelligence on Autopilot

Category: dev-team Role: Product Manager / Strategy Lead Industry: SaaS / Tech Startup Task: Competitive Analysis, Market Monitoring Date: 2026-02-09


Scenario

Who: A product manager or strategy lead who needs to stay on top of competitor moves.

Problem: Tracking competitors manually is tedious and inconsistent. Analysts check competitor websites, social media, press releases, and GitHub repos — then forget for weeks. Critical updates get missed. Reports get stale.

Solution: Using Zylos AI Agent, set up a scheduled task that automatically monitors competitor activity every 8 hours. The agent searches for news, compares against its existing knowledge base (700+ line tracking document), and only reports NEW developments — like a tireless analyst who never forgets.


Demo / Walkthrough

Step 1: Set up the scheduled task

Tell your AI: "Set up a recurring task to monitor competitors every 8 hours."

The scheduler creates a periodic task with:

  • Search queries for target competitors
  • Knowledge base with existing tracking data
  • Lark/Slack notification on new findings

Step 2: Agent runs automatically

Every 8 hours, the agent:

  1. Searches the web for competitor news
  2. Reads the existing 700+ line showcase document
  3. Compares new findings against known timeline
  4. Filters out duplicates — only reports incremental updates

Step 3: You get notified

New findings are pushed to your Lark/Slack group instantly. No action required from you unless you want to dig deeper.
