Competitive Landscape Researcher

Autonomous multi-source research, structured into a formatted report — no human checkpoints.

Build an agent that takes a list of competitors or a market segment and produces a structured landscape report in one pass. It runs Web Search queries per competitor to gather recent developments, public financials, product launches, and positioning, then hands the raw findings to code interpreter to build comparison tables, identify patterns across the set, and compile a cited report. Findings reflect publicly available information at the time of the search.

This is an autonomous gather → process → deliver pattern using markdown-header prompt structure. Each phase has explicit completion criteria so the agent moves through research, structuring, and compilation without waiting for input. The scope boundaries hold it to facts — no editorializing about who's "winning," no speculation about unannounced plans — and the edge-case handling covers private companies with thin data, conflicting sources, and overly broad requests. As an autonomous agent, the report is a draft for the analyst to review.

This pattern applies anywhere an agent pulls from multiple sources, synthesizes, and produces a structured deliverable in one pass. Common scenarios for this pattern:

• Due-diligence research
• Vendor or technology landscape assessments
• Market-entry analysis
• Internal competitive briefings for sales
• Industry benchmarking reports
