Overview
Research, benchmark, and export insights without lifting more than a finger
Workflow
The author used ChatGPT Pro's Agent mode to automate competitor research for UK coffee subscriptions. The workflow involved inputting a specific prompt to identify top players, benchmark USPs, and generate outputs. The Agent produced a PDF slide deck and an Excel spreadsheet, which the author downloaded for review.
Reported result
The author reported that the process took 18 minutes and provided 'great initial information' and 'more detailed' insights than manual efforts. However, no quantitative metrics on accuracy or time saved were measured. The outcome is described as useful for internal decks but requires further prompting for exact research needs.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Agent mode is currently limited to ChatGPT Pro users. The author notes that outputs are initial drafts requiring human verification and potential refinement via additional prompts. There is no mention of data accuracy guarantees or handling of hallucinated competitor details.
Try it
Act as a market research analyst. I need a competitor analysis for [Industry] in [Region]. Use ChatGPT Agent mode to: 1. Identify the top [Number] competitors. 2. Extract their USPs, pricing, and positioning. 3. Generate a PDF slide deck and an Excel comparison table. First, run a dry test with just [Number] competitors to verify data quality. Show me the summary and file links. Do not finalize the full report until I confirm the initial data is accurate. If specific competitor data is missing, flag it rather than guessing. Output format: Summary text, then file download links.
