Can AI write a competitor analysis report?

Yes. Silk researches the business and its competitors on the live web, compares them on things you can check, like reviews, ratings, service pages and ads, writes up the findings and saves a designed PDF. Research is the most used task type in Silk, with an 86% success rate.

How long does a competitor report take?

Usually a few minutes, depending on how many competitors and how deep you want it. It runs in the background, so you can keep working or start the next one.

Can I put my agency's branding on it?

Yes. Tell Silk your colours, fonts and logo once and it remembers them for every report.

Can I make one for every prospect automatically?

Yes. Give Silk a list of businesses and it works through them, or save the report as a skill and run it with one line for each new prospect.

Where does the information come from?

From the public web: the company's site, review platforms, search results and ad libraries. Ask Silk to list its sources in the report so you can check anything before you send it.
