Runs Apify crawls against competitor pages, extracts meaningful changes, and produces a ranked marketing intelligence brief with evidence links and recommended response actions.

How it runs

Multi-agent orchestration — here's the flow, step by step.

01

Call verslay_recall to retrieve the prior competitor site snapshot including tracked URLs, last-known pricing, feature page content, and messaging baselines from memory. Run verslay_web_search on each competitor's brand name to surface recent press releases, product updates, and any newly announced features or pricing changes. Run verslay_news_search for competitor mentions in industry media. Compile a freshness check and pass to Phase 2.

web researcher
02

Consume Phase 1 freshness check. Call verslay_exclusive_run_actor with actor 'apify/website-content-crawler' targeting each competitor's homepage, pricing page, and features page to extract current full page content. Compare extracted content against Phase 1 memory baselines to identify changes: new features announced, pricing adjustments, messaging pivots, or removed pages. Produce a competitor site delta report with change classifications.

competitive intel
02

In parallel with competitive-intel, call verslay_exclusive_meta_ads_search on each competitor brand to detect new ad creative and messaging shifts that may signal strategic pivots or campaign launches. Call verslay_exclusive_reddit_scrape on brand-adjacent subreddits to capture what the community is saying about competitor updates. Produce an advertising and community signal report.

ads scanner
03

Consume Phase 2 competitor site delta report and advertising/community signal. Score each detected change by strategic significance: pricing changes, new feature parity threats, messaging shifts that encroach on the user's positioning, and community reaction intensity. Classify changes as: High Priority (respond within 48h), Medium (monitor), or Low (note only). Pass priority-classified change log to Phase 4.

sentiment analyst
04

Consume Phase 3 priority-classified change log and all evidence. Cross-tabulate competitor changes across dimensions: pricing strategy, feature surface, target persona, and market positioning. Call verslay_chart_create to produce a competitor change heatmap showing which competitors are most actively evolving their positioning. Identify the top 3 implications for the user's own product or marketing strategy.

data analyst
05

Consume Phase 4 competitor change heatmap and strategic implications. Produce a competitor site monitor brief: change delta summary per competitor, priority-classified action items, strategic implications and recommended responses, advertising signal summary, and community reaction context. Call verslay_memorize to update competitor site content baselines, pricing snapshots, and change log in memory for next monitoring cycle.

executive briefing writer
05

Receive the competitor site monitor brief from executive-briefing-writer. Deliver it to the configured Slack channel or email recipient specified by the user. Confirm delivery and log send timestamp.
