Are you falling behind your competitors? HeadsUp is the first AI agent that alerts you to competitor moves and helps you respond. Get instant insights then real-time alerts. Setup in 60 secs and HeadsUp runs on autopilot.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Dru Riley, founder of HeadsUp.
I built HeadsUp because I was tired of learning about competitor moves from support messages and DMs.
Over 5 years building Trends.vc, I've seen founder-focused products launch new features and pricing models that caught me off guard.
Other competitor monitoring tools just tell you that something changed. They force you to dig through HTML and screenshots to figure out what it actually means.
HeadsUp is the first AI agent that tells you what changed, why it matters and gives you actionable insights.
To get started: 1. Add your domain 2. Pick competitors 3. Get instant insights

Would love to hear your thoughts! What competitor moves have caught you off guard?
As someone who follows the competitive-intelligence space, I’ve noticed two fresh approaches taking shape this year: HeadsUp and MonLink.
• HeadsUp focuses on on-site changes plus AI action steps—great for product and pricing teams that need fast, “what-to-do” guidance.
• MonLink leans into off-site signals like sudden backlink spikes, new sitemap URLs, and fresh domains—handy for SEO and BD teams hunting traffic or partnership openings.
A future data crossover between the two angles (on-site vs. off-site) could give growth teams a true 360° view of competitor moves. Would love to see HeadsUp eventually layer in external signals to make that picture even richer.
Big thumbs-up on bringing AI to competitive monitoring—looking forward to your next iterations! 🎉
Really loved the product, it was handy to do competitor research with just few clicks. I was planning to build one like this and you guys just saved some time and effort for me.
Congratulations HeadsUp team!
Love the framing of competitor intel as an “agent” rather than static reports, makes it actionable for GTM teams right away.
A small suggestion: what if you add a simple in-app usage meter (e.g., “competitors tracked / alerts received”)? It could help users feel in control, see instant value/progress, and even open doors for upsells.
What’s been the average time from adding a first competitor to getting the first alert? That feels like the real aha moment.
Excited to see where this goes! Competitive intel has been locked up too long in analyst decks.
HeadsUp seems like a total game-changer for keeping tabs on competitors!!!
Love Trends.vc and this looks like a fantastic addition.
Congrats on the launch Dru! Awesome milestone! Excited to see people discover and support what you’ve built.
HeadsUp is like having a competitive strategist on autopilot. Instant insights, real-time alerts, and smart responses set up in 60 seconds and stay ahead without the scramble.
As a product marketer, this has been my biggest pain point and something I've been trying to automate with AI, but I haven't been able to get agents to make this work. Excited to give HeadsUp a try!
Bruh finally! 🤯 An AI agent that actually explains why competitor moves matter instead of dumping raw screenshots. Autopilot alerts = chef's kiss 🤌 Saves me from stalking Crunchbase daily.
This looks brilliant @dru_riley! Like that you surface the insights; love that you make them actionable. Congrats and I'll be sharing this with my clients. Hope you're well, old friend :)
The content is super engaging and simple. It's clear a lot of effort has gone into it.
I did have one small suggestion regarding the user experience. When I clicked on a link to an archived page on web.archive.org, it took me away from your website. For a smoother experience, it would be great if these types of links opened in a new browser tab or window. This way, users can easily return to your content.
This is awesome, @dru_riley I’ve definitely had that “wait, how did I miss this competitor update?” moment more than once. Love that HeadsUp doesn’t just tell you something changed but actually explains why it matters. How do you see AI-driven insights shifting from reactive monitoring to proactively shaping a founder’s product roadmap?
This looks cool, I wonder how are you guys fetching the data and how accurate this is?
I was actually wondering not too long ago why there wasn't such a service like this out there now that we can extract all this information with much more ease using AI.
What are the next steps beyond launch?

Who hunted HeadsUp?
HeadsUp was hunted by Hiten Shah. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
