What this agent helps you do
An Exa competitor source discovery agent finds the raw web sources a team should inspect before drawing conclusions. It can locate product pages, docs, pricing examples, case studies, changelogs, or public positioning around a competitor set.
When to use this workflow
Use it before a positioning project, launch brief, feature comparison, market landscape memo, or product strategy discussion.
How Exa gives the agent context
Connect Exa and describe the competitors, source types, freshness needs, and exclusions. Ask the agent to preserve links and explain why each source is relevant.
Example starter prompt
Use Exa to find high-quality competitor and market sources for this research question. Return a curated source table with links, relevance notes, freshness, and gaps that need follow-up.Suggested workflow steps
The agent runs targeted searches, filters weak or irrelevant sources, groups results by competitor and theme, and identifies missing evidence. It should avoid presenting discovery as final analysis.
Expected handoff
The final output should include a source table, summary of themes, weak evidence warnings, and recommended next analysis. It can feed a Notion or Drive research brief.
