Run a Monday competitor-monitoring brief from job listings
Claude is set up as an agent that browses competitors and reads their job listings every Monday morning to infer what they may do next.
- What They Did
- The poster set Claude to run every Monday at 8am with a prompt listing competitors and asking it to check each company’s website for recent activity: pricing changes, new products or features, new content, announcements or press, and job listings that hint at strategy. Claude then summarizes what changed that week across all of them and highlights the single most important item; the person’s role was mainly supplying the competitor list and reading the finished brief.
- How It Went
- The stated result is a Monday-morning brief delivered without manual checking or a dashboard, with job listings used to infer likely moves such as a push on distribution. The post gives no measured accuracy, savings, or examples of misses.
- Worth Knowing
- The only concrete setup detail given is the schedule: it runs every Monday at 8am.
