  • {{competitors}}: List of top competitors (e.g., names or product names).
  • {{features}}: Specific features or benefits to compare (e.g., pricing, usability, integrations).
  • {{usp}}: (Optional) Your product's unique selling points to emphasize.

Instructions

  3. Identify areas where your product excels, where it lags, and where there are gaps or opportunities.
  4. Assess the competitive landscape and suggest ways to enhance your product's positioning.
  5. Provide actionable recommendations for improvement and differentiation.
