When this pays off
Competitors shipping fast
The market is moving faster than your battle cards can keep up.
Out-of-date positioning
Battle cards exist but were last updated two quarters ago and nobody trusts them.
Losing winnable deals
Win/loss reviews keep flagging the same competitor as the reason — and the same gaps.
Weekly digests requested
Leadership wants a regular pulse on competitive activity for the GTM team.
The shape of this use case
A competitive intelligence Agent monitors a defined competitor set and surfaces what matters.Inputs
Competitor list, products to compare, market segments you operate in.
Sources
Competitor websites, news, job boards, social media, your own win/loss notes.
Output
Updated battle cards, product comparison summaries, weekly digests.
Where to start
Two ways in, depending on whether you want something running today or built to your exact spec.Clone a pre-built Agent
Open the Sales Battlecard Creator. More in the Marketplace.
Build your own
Start from scratch in the builder, or by describing it in Claude Code or Cursor with Programmatic GTM.
- “What did Acme Corp announce last quarter? They came up on a call this morning.”
- “Pull a quick comparison of our pricing vs. Globex for an exec on this deal.”
- “Summarize where we stand against Initech for a renewal conversation tomorrow.”
Where to take it
Once it’s running, deepen it in three moves:Let it improve
Feed win/loss notes back into the Agent’s evals so it tracks the signals that matter.

Reps can’t use a battle card mid-call if it’s a webpage. Write them as short objection-handling scripts the rep can read in one breath.

A weekly digest is interesting. Resurfacing the right battle card the moment a competitor shows up in a deal is useful. Wire the Agent to deal records, not just channels.

Press releases only show you what competitors want you to see. Add hiring patterns, job postings, and customer-side social signals to catch real direction.
