Hey PH builder community - happy to launch RivalSense. It is a self-serve product with a 14-day free trial available to everyone. We are here for your feedback and suggestions. WHY WE BUILT RIVALSENSE How often have you heard these 2 mutually contradictory pieces of startup advice? It's a paradox. (1) Focus on your users, not on your competition (2) A great founder should have strong knowledge of the market - what everyone is building, how everyone is acquiring users, who are they partnering with I was fed up with hearing these two when building my previous startup - I think there is a grain of truth in both. Of course, users are the most important, but there is value in having good awareness of what your competitors are doing. Even following your existing B2B clients can be hard, because you do not want to spend your day Googling different companies and checking their X and Linkedin posts. We wanted to build something that resolves this paradox. Yes, I want to learn what my competitors or key accounts are doing, but I don't want to spend more than 5 minutes per week doing this. HOW RIVALSENSE WORKS RivalSense sends you a weekly AI-curated email newsletter highlighting the most important insights uncovered about the companies you are interested in. The newsletter primarily focuses on things with commercial significance - pricing changes, new product features, new partnerships, changes in tech stack, new hires, content marketing initiatives, financial filings and more. Some cool examples of insight types: 🌐 Small, important changes in company websites https://rivalsense.co/i/RPoBIOD0... 𝕏 Public Linkedin or X posts from company employees https://rivalsense.co/i/bMGMrZAW... 🗞️ Interesting mentions in media of the company, company founders or beneficial owners https://rivalsense.co/i/UFMrWj7A... 🤝🏻 Public info on employees joining or leaving the company https://rivalsense.co/i/KawrXteQ... 📄 Public job listings https://rivalsense.co/i/MKSDexyv...  Changes in company App Stores pages / Github repos / Government registers https://rivalsense.co/i/mggoUeo5... We were inspired by the Morning Brew newsletter and The Economist Espresso news briefing. A short, clean, curated newsletter that can be read by a busy founder or executive in 5 minutes or less. The core innovation behind the product is to use the possibilities of LLMs. We want to not not simply provide a long list of keyword mentions, but to filter out the noise and only show valuable, actionable insights, presented in short, readable bullet points. HOW TO GET STARTED Everyone can enjoy a 2 week long free trial of RivalSense. No card required. During this trial, you will receive 3 weekly email updates.

Comment highlights

I recommend RivalSense for those who want to track companies effectively with AI. This tool allows you to keep an eye on competitors, key accounts, or your own company by providing weekly AI-generated updates.

as someone who has worked close in competitive intel! this is exciting! Do you have plans white labeling this or open to allowing me to bring targeted users to the platform an discussing a recurring commission on the accounts I bring in? I believe this could be a great growth driver for RivalSense 👀 @martins_vaivars I messaged you on linkedin!

Do you guys offer agency access to bring clients onto the product for a piece of the recurring revenue? @martins_vaivars

Have been using it for a month or so. Very impressed with the results and summary you can get. Saves a ton of time, completely eliminates Google Alerts. A tip for users - why not add your own domain/product to RivalSense just to understand what competition sees about you?

Congrats on the launch, @martins_vaivars! It's a very powerful tool! I was impressed when I tested it out!

Great idea and elegantly deployed! I'm interested more in the current and planned capabilities in terms of identifying other alternative or competing companies to the ones that I could select as primary targets. Is this something that is/would be possible, or this is out of scope for this product?

Very cool project! Congrats on the launch! - Curious if you can give a bit more details on the "80+ data sources" you're using? - For company website monitoring, do you monitor all the pages or just the homepage? For example would it detect a pricing change?

Nice! Do you provide an API that is ingestable with certain attributes or relationships? Such as "Launch" attribute to check all companies that launched this week. Or "Acquired an enterprise customer" attribute?

good. id pay for this. is it for any company? whats the pricing? it has more of a financial focused or just any news? You metntion AI, where do you use it or is it just buzz? Pretty damn great product. Can we select the types of news and the number we want along with the frequency of the newslttter?

Congrats @martins_vaivars on launching RivalSense! This is a great tool for keeping tabs on competitors, key accounts, and even your own company. The weekly AI-curated email updates are very useful and time-saving. Good job!

Finally I can get a sense of my rivals (have I mentioned that I love the name 😜) Congrats on the launch @martins_vaivars This looks like a super convenient way on keeping tabs on the competition. Checking it out NOW!

Time to get a sense of what my rivals are doing (have I mentioned I love the name 😜). Congrats on the launch @martins_vaivars

Looks interesting! FYI, your pricing page is not loading for me on Firefox with uBlock Origin installed.

This looks insane, @martins_vaivars, congrats on the launch! 🔥 I'm trying to keep tabs on a ton of competitors and key accounts, so getting weekly AI-curated insights in one email sounds like a total game changer. Definitely keeping an eye on this.

Great job on launching RivalSense! It's awesome to see an AI-powered tool that makes monitoring companies and receiving curated updates so easy. I'm curious, how does RivalSense determine which updates are most relevant for each company being monitored? Keep up the great work!

Congrats on the launch @martins_vaivars & team 🎉 I've been using this product for some time, and it's impressive to see the scope of use cases expanding every week. Excited to see how far you’ll take this—keep up the great work!

Great product, Martins! 💪 RivalSense is a must-have tool for any fast-growing company founder! Staying ahead in today’s competitive landscape requires sharp insights and real-time competitive intelligence, and RivalSense delivers precisely that. Intuitive interface and AI touch equip you with the tools to get a clear view of the companies you are interested in. Huge kudos to the team for creating something so essential for scaling businesses!

Absolutely crazy good product, especially like in my case when I have 100+ competitors to follow. Getting a digest on the latest in a single email means I'm not missing out. Make sure you're not missing out!
