Firecrawl Competitive Intel

Use this for monitoring competitors over time. This is not the broad competitor analysis workflow.

Onboarding Interview

Infer competitors, focus, cadence, and output format from context. If competitors are clear, proceed immediately.

Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the competitor list, focus area, or whether authenticated pages/profiles are required.

Firecrawl Collection Plan

For each competitor, use Firecrawl scrape or browser as needed:

• pricing pages, annual/monthly toggles, expanded feature tables
• feature and product pages
• changelogs, blogs, release notes, docs updates
• authenticated dashboards only when the user has legitimate access

Parallel Work

If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners. A natural split is one competitor per researcher or one focus area per researcher.

Each researcher should return pricing tiers, features, recent changes, source URLs, and confidence notes.
