Track competitor activity across the web
A daily agent that monitors competitors across the web and delivers intelligence to Slack
Use case: this cookbook shows how Nimble search sweeps the web daily for competitor mentions across news, social, developer communities, and review platforms, then feeds raw results to Claude for synthesis and delivery to Slack.
Quick Start
Inputs
- Your company Input your company name, aliases, description, and industry, set once via the interactive onboarding process.
- Competitor list Give the agent one or more competitors with their name, aliases, optional GitHub repo, and optional PyPI package name.
- Slack destination A Slack channel ID and bot token for daily digest delivery, plus optional Slack signing secret for the /competitor-digest slash command.
Outputs
- Daily Slack channel digest with an executive overview, Signal of the Day, and positioning alerts
- Top 3 findings per competitor sorted by impact score
- Personalized Slack DMs filtered by team role on request
- Weekly summary of the most important competitive themes, posted on Mondays
How it works
A 4-phase daily pipeline.
- Add your settings The onboard.py wizard writes config.json and .env with company details, competitor definitions, and API keys in about 2 minutes.
- Search the web Nimble search runs one query per competitor per source: Reddit, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Hacker News, GitHub, news, blogs, Medium, Dev.to, Substack, G2, Capterra, Product Hunt, and YouTube, plus direct web comparisons between the competitor and your company.
- Synthesize findings Claude deduplicates results against a rolling 30-day URL cache and 7-day topic cache, extracts signal from each finding, scores impact, and flags positioning alerts where competitors compare themselves to your company.
- Send output message The Slack bot posts a structured channel digest and, for subscribed team members, a personalized DM filtered to their role. GitHub Actions triggers the run at a scheduled time each day.
