The problem

Your executives don't have time to check a dashboard.

Competitive intelligence tools generate data. But if that data requires someone to log in and look, most of it never gets seen. The VP of Strategy doesn't have 30 minutes to browse a dashboard every morning. The CEO checks email.

RivalDesk solves this by generating analyst-quality briefings automatically and delivering them where executives already look - their inbox, Slack, or Teams. No login required. No analyst required.

Weekly digest

Not a list of changes.
A strategic analysis.

Most CI tools send you a list of things that happened. RivalDesk's weekly digest reads like it was written by a senior analyst - connecting events, identifying patterns, and explaining what it means for your business.

The AI synthesizes intelligence across all 8 sources and all competitors to produce a single, coherent narrative. It knows that Beacon's pricing change + their hiring spree + their new case study all point to the same strategic shift.

ELEVATED THREAT
Executive summary
This was the most active competitive week in 3 months. Beacon AI executed a major pricing restructure while Stratos shipped their most significant product update of the year. Both moves narrow your differentiation in the mid-market. Recommended: emergency pricing review + updated battle cards for active deals.

Under the hood

How AI writes an analyst-quality briefing.

Every briefing is generated through a 5-stage pipeline that turns raw intelligence into strategic narrative.

01

Collect

All intelligence events from the last 24h / 7d / 90d gathered across 8 sources.

02

Prioritize

AI scores each event by severity and strategic relevance. Low-signal items filtered out.

03

Connect

Cross-competitor patterns identified. Related events linked into strategic narratives.

04

Write

AI generates the briefing in natural language with context, implications, and actions.

05

Deliver

Formatted and sent to email, Slack, or Teams at your configured schedule.

Customization

Your briefings, your rules.

Delivery schedule

Choose delivery time for each cadence. Daily at 8am, weekly on Mondays, quarterly on the first of the month - or any custom schedule.

Audience routing

Different briefings for different teams. Sales gets battle card updates. Leadership gets the executive summary. Product gets feature comparisons.

Severity threshold

Set the minimum severity for inclusion. CEOs might only want Critical + High. Analysts might want everything down to Medium.

Competitor focus

Configure which competitors appear in which briefing. Regional teams can focus on local competitors. Global teams see everything.

Tone & length

Choose between concise (2 min read) and detailed (10 min read). Adjust formality for board reports vs. internal team updates.

Pinned sections

Always include specific sections - pricing watch, hiring trends, or review sentiment - regardless of whether there's new activity.

Source linking

Every claim in a briefing links back to the original intelligence event. Click through to the source page, screenshot, or data point.

✏️

Human review

Optionally route briefings through a human reviewer before distribution. Add commentary, adjust framing, or approve before it goes to the board.

I used to spend my first hour every morning checking competitor websites. Now I read the RivalDesk briefing over coffee in 2 minutes and know exactly what happened. It's like having a CI analyst who never sleeps.

Real-time alerts

Some things can't wait until tomorrow's briefing.

Critical events trigger instant alerts outside the normal briefing cadence. A competitor drops their pricing by 40%, launches a product in your market, or gets acquired - you know within minutes, not hours.

Alert thresholds are configurable. You decide what constitutes "drop everything" vs. "include in tomorrow's briefing."
