AI agent for competitive intelligence analysts
Competitor Partnership and Channel Tracker Agent
A verified, current list of competitor partners, resellers and integrations, with changes reported monthly.
What it does
When a competitor adds a reseller in a new region or an integration with a big platform, the first you hear of it is a prospect mentioning it. This agent scans partner directories, marketplaces, press releases and integration pages for each competitor every month. It compares what it finds with the saved partner list and notes additions and removals. Before logging a change it verifies it on a second page, because directories are often stale or wrong. It drafts a change summary with links. The analyst approves the update before the channel team is notified. Edge case: a partner vanishes from a directory but is still on the competitor's site, so it is held as unconfirmed.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Monthly scan starts
- Collect partner directory, marketplace, integration and press pages per competitor
- Extract partner names, types and regions
- Compare with the saved list to find additions and removals
- Does a second page confirm each change?If not: search press and the partner's own site; if still single-source, hold as unconfirmed. Back to step 2.
- Classify each change as reseller, integration or referral partner
- Do removals still hold after a repeat check a week later?If not: restore the partner and note the directory error. Back to step 3.
- Draft the change summary with links and deal impact
- Analyst approves the update before the channel team is notifiedThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Partner list updated and summary sent
How it decides

- Log a change only when 2 pages agree.
