Recon

Competitive intelligence that runs itself. Recon monitors your competitors across the web and tells you when their claims don't match reality — so you can stop doomscrolling and start making decisions.

What it does

You tell Recon who to watch. It pulls from Hacker News, Reddit, G2, YouTube, Product Hunt, changelogs, and LinkedIn jobs — then cross-references everything to find the gap between what a competitor says and what users actually experience.

Every finding follows a structured format: Claim → Reality → Threat Level → What to do about it. Nothing surfaces unless it's backed by at least two independent sources.

How it works

An AI agent (Gemini) does the analysis humans don't have time for:

  1. Fetch — Pulls data from 7+ sources per competitor on a weekly schedule or when a changelog diff is detected
  2. Correlate — Cross-references findings across sources. A Reddit complaint alone isn't signal. A Reddit complaint + a G2 review + a job posting telling the same story is.
  3. Analyze — Evaluates each finding against your product context. Instead of generic summaries, you get specific implications: which of your users are at risk, what your product does better, and whether you need to act.
  4. Deliver — Structured briefs via email or dashboard. If a finding warrants hands-on testing, the agent tells you exactly what to test and what to look for.

Why it matters

Competitive intelligence today is either expensive (analyst teams) or shallow (Google Alerts). Recon sits in the middle — an always-on agent that reads the sources you'd read yourself, but catches what you'd miss by correlating across them. It turns a 2-hour weekly ritual into a 5-minute Monday morning read.
