Manual intelligence is outdated in today's fast-moving market
Manually monitoring competitors is a losing battle. Between the explosion of sources, digital noise, and the frequency of changes, marketing and strategy teams spend more time searching for information than actually analyzing it.
Main negative impacts:
Information overload
Too much data, not enough context. Your teams are drowning in alerts that lack real value.
Limited reactivity
By the time a report is compiled, the information is already stale. You react to market shifts instead of anticipating them.
Superficial analysis
Lack of time prevents in-depth analysis of competitive strategies, limiting your ability to differentiate.
Swiftask uses Exa's semantic search power to automate the collection and synthesis of strategic information. Your AI agents filter out the noise to deliver only weak signals and major shifts.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
The traditional method
An analyst spends their mornings manually browsing competitor sites, social media, and newsletters. They compile disparate links into a document, which is often incomplete and misses critical changes that happened during the day.
The Swiftask + Exa approach
Your AI agent, powered by Exa, continuously scans target sources. It automatically detects new products, pricing changes, or press releases, and generates a ready-to-use summary in your business tool.
Deploy your strategic sentinel in 4 steps
1
STEP 1 : Define your targets in Swiftask
List your competitors, market themes, or strategic keywords that your agent needs to monitor.
2
STEP 2 : Enable the Exa connector
Integrate Exa as a semantic search engine to allow your agent to browse the web with contextual precision.
3
STEP 3 : Configure analysis rules
Determine the output format: weekly summary, instant alerts on major changes, or deep-dive thematic reports.
4
STEP 4 : Automate distribution
Schedule the delivery of insights to your Slack, Teams, or directly into your CRM for your sales teams.
