The Problem
Your market changes faster than your team can track it.
01
The signals are scattered
Competitor moves live across websites, ads, newsletters, LinkedIn, filings and news. There's no single surface to read them from.
02
Nobody owns the watching
You check competitors before a board meeting or a launch, then forget until the next fire drill. The effort never compounds.
03
Your AI can't see your market
ChatGPT and Claude are where you already think and write, but they have no live view of what your competitors are actually doing.
How It Works
Add sources. IntelCue reads them. Ask your AI, or get it in Slack.
No dashboard to live in, no analyst to hire, no program to run. Point it at your market once, and the context comes to you.

“We spent hours every week scanning newsletters and competitor blogs, trying to piece together what was actually happening in our market. IntelCue was born from that frustration: the insight that intelligence should come to you, not the other way around.”
“The moment AI assistants became good enough for real work, we knew competitive intelligence had to live inside them. Not another dashboard. Just ask your AI what your competitors are doing and get an answer from live data.”
