Market Radar: AI Agent for Competitor & Market Intelligence

Market Radar is an AI agent for competitor monitoring and market intelligence.

Overview

Every morning you open a dozen tabs: competitor blogs, GitHub releases, industry news, threads on X and Reddit. An hour goes to figuring out what changed overnight and what needs a response. A rival drops a price or ships a feature, and you hear about it a week later from a customer. A market analyst costs $4,000–7,000 a month and works eight hours, not around the clock.

Market Radar is a ready-made AI agent for the ASCN platform that takes monitoring off your plate:

• 🔍 Scans the market by your list — web search across your topics and competitors from the last 7 days, primary sources with links only.
• 📊 Builds a short brief — top-3 items, actions for the day, a breakdown by topic and competitor, each line tagged by importance.
• 📲 Sends it to Telegram before your first meeting — one line per item, no filler.
• 🗂 Keeps an archive in Google Docs (optional) — a searchable history of briefs across a month or a quarter.
• ✅ Never fabricates data — if there is no finding, it writes "no data," and attaches a source link to every fact.

You run it in plain chat inside ASCN or Telegram. Nothing to assemble by hand: the agent connects services on your request and works on a schedule.

How the agent works

You don't need to be a programmer. You run it in plain chat.

1. Install from the marketplace. Open the agent page, click "Use template" — the agent lands in your account in under 5 minutes.
2. Connect services in chat. Web search works out of the box. Connect Telegram in one click, add Google Docs for the archive if you want — all through an OAuth link.
3. Tune it to your niche. In a short chat you name 3–7 topics, up to 5 competitors, your timezone, and the morning brief time.
4. Start the scheduled task. The agent creates the job itself: every morning it scans the market and sends the "Top-3 of the day" to Telegram.
5. Run it from one chat. Type "add competitor X," "drop topic Y," "move the brief to 09:00" — the agent updates settings on the fly.

Why this AI agent for competitor monitoring beats hiring an analyst

• Works while you sleep. The brief is built overnight and on weekends, with no overtime or sick days.
• One subscription instead of a salary. A market analyst runs $4,000–7,000 a month. The agent covers the daily review for the price of a plan.
• Every fact carries a link. You get a verifiable source per item, not a summary from memory.
• Scale without headcount. Add a competitor or a new topic with one line in chat, not a new hire.

What users get

Across deployments the agent saves about 30–60 minutes a day on manually checking sources and removes up to 90% of routine news and release monitoring.

Results depend on your niche, the length of your watchlist, and how precisely topics and competitors are described. The agent guarantees a regular review; your setup drives its accuracy.
