The premise
Competitive analysis has always been a slog of tab-hopping and screenshot folders. AI can compress that legwork into a structured teardown, but only if you teach it what 'a real weakness' actually looks like.
What AI does well here
Pull public pricing pages, blog posts, and reviews into a single comparable grid
Surface positioning gaps between what a company says and what customers complain about
Draft a head-to-head feature matrix from messy marketing copy
Hypothesize a competitor's likely roadmap from hiring posts and changelog cadence
What AI cannot do
Verify private revenue, churn, or margin numbers it cannot see
Predict acquisition or shutdown rumors that aren't already in public reporting
Tell you whether your differentiator actually matters to *your* buyer
