building something to understand competitors better (would love feedback)

hey everyone 👋

i’ve been spending time trying to understand how people actually make sense of competitors - whether it’s before launching, refining positioning, or just figuring out where they stand.

and honestly, it still feels pretty scattered.

you can find competitors easily, but actually breaking down what they do, how they position themselves, what they’re good at, where they’re weak… that usually takes a lot of time and a thorough research.

so i with my team started building something called competitor snap.

you put in an idea or a website, and it generates structured competitor profiles - things like:

• what each competitor actually does

• their core positioning/messaging

• strengths and weaknesses

• how they’re trying to differentiate

the goal is to make it easier to compare and spot gaps quickly, without doing hours of manual research.

we are still figuring out if this is actually useful in practice or just sounds useful in theory.

would something like this be helpful in your workflow?
or do you only really understand competitors by digging in manually over time?

would really appreciate honest thoughts 🙏
happy to share it if anyone wants to try!
