Monthly Competitor Social Benchmark Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Coordinators are often asked how the brand is doing against competitors and answer by scrolling feeds. This agent runs a monthly benchmark. It collects public posts from a set list of competitor accounts, counts posting frequency, formats, and engagement per post relative to follower size. It groups top posts by theme and format, then compares with the brand's own results for the same month. After calculating, it checks the data is complete for every account and platform. If an account was missing or a platform limit cut off data, it re-collects or marks the gap. It also checks that any big swing is not caused by one viral or paid post, and reports it separately. It drafts a two-page summary with three test ideas. The coordinator approves the report and any ideas taken forward. Edge case: a competitor rebranded its handle, so it updates the account list.

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.

How it decides

It compares engagement per post scaled by follower count, and treats any post more than five times the account's median as an outlier reported on its own.

  • Scale engagement by follower count before comparing accounts
  • Report posts above five times the account median as outliers
  • Back each idea with at least three posts from two or more competitors
  • Update the account list when a handle changes

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Competitor account list
  • Platforms in scope
  • Outlier threshold (default 5 times median)
  • Report length (default two pages)

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Sharing the report with the wider team
  • Which ideas get tested

Hard limits

  • Uses only public data
  • Never engages with or reports competitor posts
  • Never copies competitor content

It stops when

  • Done: report drafted with complete data or labeled gaps
  • Stop: competitor list is empty, so it asks for one

An example run

What happensFor September the agent tracked 6 competitors across 3 platforms. Data for one competitor's video platform was cut off at 50 posts; it re-collected in two batches. A rival's reel had 40 times its median engagement and was reported separately. Short how-to clips beat static images for four rivals. The coordinator approved two of three test ideas.
