Market Intelligence Agent: Catch Competitor Moves Before Your Customers Do (2026 Guide)
Your competitor just cut prices by 50 percent. You found out from a customer who almost churned. You should have known a week ago.
The problem
Most founders find out about competitor moves from customers or Twitter, not from proactive monitoring. By the time you hear about a pricing change, a new launch, or a funding round, the competitor already has a head start. You react instead of responding.
Executive attention is scarce. You cannot read every news article, track every pricing page, and scan every job posting yourself. You need a system that filters noise and surfaces only what matters.
The pivot
You do not need more news alerts. You need a market intelligence agent that monitors competitors across public sources, grades every signal by confidence, and attaches the strategic “so what” so you can act.
Skynet does exactly that. It pulls from company sites, SEC filings, Crunchbase, news, public social, patent filings, job postings, and regulatory filings. It grades every signal as CONFIRMED, HIGH CONFIDENCE, MEDIUM CONFIDENCE, or UNCONFIRMED. It never presents rumor as fact. It assesses, you decide.
Step-by-step
Add Your Competitors
Tell Skynet which competitors to track. Paste their URLs, pricing pages, and any Google Alerts you already have. Skynet starts pulling from public sources immediately and builds a competitor profile card for each one.
Get Graded Signals
Skynet monitors daily and triages aggressively. Only material moves trigger alerts. Every signal comes with a confidence grade and a source citation so you know what to act on and what to watch.
Review Alerts and Decide
For every material signal, Skynet produces a strategic-impact assessment: what happened, why it matters to your business, and response options with tradeoffs. You pick a response. Skynet never prescribes. It assesses, you decide.
What you get
Near-real-time material alerts readable in 60 seconds. A weekly competitive brief skimmable in under 5 minutes. A confidence-graded signal log with sources. A pricing-change tracker. Competitor profile cards. A trend dashboard showing market-level shifts over four or more weeks.
Open Skynet, paste the prompt above with your competitor names, and stop finding out about moves from your customers. See what is coming and have your options ready.
