About This Workflow
This robust n8n workflow sets up an advanced AI-powered competitor intelligence agent designed to streamline your market analysis. Starting with Exa.ai's powerful findSimilar search, it intelligently identifies key competitors based on your initial input. Once identified, the workflow orchestrates multiple AI agents, leveraging OpenAI's language models and web scraping tools like Firecrawl, to meticulously scour platforms such as Crunchbase, WellFound, LinkedIn, and general web pages. The goal is to extract detailed information on company profiles, product offerings, funding, key personnel, customer insights, and more. All collected data is then parsed into a structured format, ready for compilation into an actionable report, like a Notion table, providing invaluable insights for your strategic planning.
