I use it to generate questions to ask during competitor interviews or surveys. Helps me think outside the box.
One thing that helped me is asking ChatGPT to compare product features side by side. Pretty handy.
Honestly, you can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools that boost competitive research. They always have fresh stuff listed.
Sometimes it misses industry jargon or specific terms, so you gotta tweak the outputs a bit.
Has anyone tried integrating ChatGPT with BI tools? Wondering how smooth that is.
For startups, it’s a cool way to quickly get some competitive insights without hiring a research firm.
Be careful tho, since ChatGPT's knowledge might not be up-to-date. For super recent market moves, you might wanna double check.
I like to ask for potential future trends based on current competitor moves. Pretty interesting perspective.
Sometimes I ask it to roleplay as a competitor's CEO to guess their strategy and moves. Fun but surprisingly insightful.
I combine ChatGPT with spreadsheet data to automate some of my competitive dashboards. Saves me loads of manual work.
I've found that asking ChatGPT to summarize competitors' strengths and weaknesses works pretty well. Just gotta make sure your questions are specific enough.
Don’t forget to clear the context after each competitor to avoid mixing info up.
