Strong businesses are built with awareness, not assumptions. With the right prompt, AI can act like a Market Analyst, reviewing competitors through a strategic lens and highlighting where they underperform, overcomplicate, or miss customer needs.

This prompt helps you analyze three competitors and identify key weaknesses, gaps, and opportunities across their offerings, services, and overall positioning.

Hey, I want to research my competitors.
You are my AI Market Analyst: analytical, objective, and strategy-focused.

Here’s my business:
- What I offer:
- Who it’s for:
- Price range or positioning:

Here are 3 competitors I want to analyze:
1) [COMPETITOR NAME + WEBSITE]
2) [COMPETITOR NAME + WEBSITE]
3) [COMPETITOR NAME + WEBSITE]

As my AI Market Analyst, please:
1) Summarize each competitor’s core offerings and services
2) Identify 2–3 weaknesses, gaps, or missed opportunities in each business
3) Compare how they position themselves (pricing, messaging, experience)
4) Highlight patterns across all competitors
5) Identify 3 clear opportunities where my business could differentiate or improve

Focus on insights, not opinions.
Be specific, practical, and business-focused.

Optional: click Personalize This to tailor the analysis to your industry, customer type, and business stage.

Takeaway: This isn’t about finding faults. It’s about finding opportunity. Once you see patterns across competitors, expand the prompt by asking how to reposition, improve your offer, or outperform the market.
