You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools, they usually have pretty up-to-date stuff and some hidden gems that don't get much hype.
For free tools, I think Google Trends is underrated to see growing interest areas in AI.
Does anyone use custom web scraping for this kinda work? Wondering if it’s worth building something in-house.
Have you guys checked out Owler? It’s pretty handy for tracking what your competitors are up to, at least the bigger players.
I think combining AI news aggregators with some manual competitor tracking is the sweet spot.
For startups, I find AngelList a surprisingly good source to see who’s getting traction and investment in AI.
Don’t forget about patent databases. They’re gold mines if you wanna see where companies are focusing their R&D efforts.
Is anyone here using AI for sentiment analysis on competitor mentions? Curious how reliable it is.
Anyone got tips on filtering out the noise? Sometimes too much data just confuses me more than helps.
Sometimes I just rely on industry conferences and webinars to hear the latest straight from the horses mouth.
I mostly use LinkedIn and Twitter to follow key players and startups in AI. Feels more real-time compared to reports and tools that update slowly.
Sometimes I just subscribe to newsletters from big AI research labs and companies. Feels like a direct line to what’s new.
Been using Crunchbase plus Google Alerts for a while. Cheap and effective for tracking funding and news on AI startups.
I've been using a mix of platforms for a while now, and honestly, it’s all about combining data sources. Nothing beats getting info from industry reports plus some AI-specific trackers online.
I’m curious if anyone’s using AI-powered dashboards that integrate social, news, patents, and financial data all in one spot?
Anyone tried AI-driven competitive analysis platforms? Wondering if they're worth the investment or just hype.
