The big idea

Some examples

Paste a competitor URL and ask AI to list their core promises.
Have AI summarize their 1-star reviews into top 3 complaints.
Ask AI to find 5 things they DON'T offer.
Generate a positioning line that contrasts you with them.

Try it!

Pick one competitor. Ask AI to give you their 3 weak spots and 1 way you could win on price, speed, or vibe.

Practice this safely

Try this with a school, hobby, or family example where the stakes are low. Use the AI output as a draft you can question, not as the final answer.

Ask AI to explain competitor analysis in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
Give it one detail from "AI Tools That Tear Down Your Competition" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
Check positioning against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
