Context you provide

  • {{brand_name}}: The name of the user's brand.
  • {{competitor_name}}: The name of a key competitor.
  • {{platforms}}: The platforms to analyze (e.g., Twitter, e-commerce sites, blogs).
  • {{time_period}}: The time frame for the analysis (e.g., last month, past quarter).

Instructions

  3. Compare sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) and identify key themes, strengths, and weaknesses for each brand.
  4. Highlight specific areas where the user's brand excels or falls short relative to the competitor.

Output format

  • A structured report with sections: Executive Summary, Sentiment Comparison, Key Themes, Strengths & Weaknesses, and Strategic Recommendations.

Guardrails
