Your competitor just made a move 🔍
Build this 30 minute automation to future-proof your business
Hey Prompter Community!
It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there. With this new technological revolution with LLMs, these dogs are building complex features on tighter budgets with smaller teams in a shorter time. You best stay on your A-game. It’s vital to keep an eye on your competitor, but ensure not to get tormented by their product announcements and their seeming progress.
As Sam Altman says:
A quick word about competitors: competitors are a startup ghost story. First-time founders think they are what kill 99% of startups. But 99% of startups die from suicide, not murder. Worry instead about all of your internal problems. If you fail, it will very likely be because you failed to make a great product and/or failed to make a great company.

So, how do we keep tabs on our competitors without wasting precious time focusing on our internal issues?
Let’s automate it.
Remember: You can get a step-by-step tutorial on this project using our AI tutor, PrompterGPT. Simply choose which project you’d like to work on, follow the instructions, and tell it what you want changed!
We will build a relatively simple Flask app that allows you to upload various “competitor URLs,” whether it’s their newsroom or a site like macrumors.com. When new content is published on these sites, we will scrape, summarize, and email them to you once a week.
Application Steps:
Create a “Competitor Profile”
Add URLs of websites
Schedule Run on Google Scheduler
Receive email with a summary of changes 1 time a week (or your choice)
