Behind every entry in your finished competitor analysis sits a link to the page it came from, whether price, target group or positioning. Anyone reading can check each line for themselves, and that is what separates the analysis from a chatbot answer. Claude Cowork, the AI agent from Anthropic, opens websites and product pages and enters its findings in a comparison table. You set the criteria and spot-check the evidence yourself.
If you compare competitors by hand, the tecnovy course Competitor Analysis with AI has you plan the analysis once and hand the research to Claude Cowork. You check the evidence, and your team gets a decision paper with verifiable sources.
How the training runs
Method
One running case study: a competitor analysis, optionally of your market
Five parts follow a competitor analysis from the plan to recurring monitoring. Checking sources has a part of its own, because it decides what the analysis is worth. You work on one case study throughout, of your own market if you wish.
01Planning the research
Before Cowork searches, you decide which decision the analysis should support.
The question and the choice of competitors
Comparison criteria such as offer, price, target group and positioning
A research brief for Cowork: criteria, a source per entry, output format
02Letting Cowork research
Cowork works through the brief while you follow what it does.
Evaluating websites, product pages and public sources through web search and the browser
Capturing offers, prices, target groups and positioning per competitor
Reading interim results and sharpening the brief
03Checking sources
This is where the analysis earns the right to survive a follow-up question.
Asking for missing evidence and spot-checking against the original page
Catching outdated, invented or misattributed entries
Hidden instructions on web pages (prompt injection) and what Auto mode checks for
04Comparing and assessing
Checked entries become a picture of the market.
A comparison table
A positioning matrix of the competitors
Strengths, weaknesses and gaps in the market, with evidence kept apart from judgement
05Presenting results and keeping them current
Finally you make the analysis ready for a decision and repeatable.
A report and a slide deck for decision-makers, built from the comparison table
Competitor monitoring as a scheduled task with /schedule
Comparing each new round with the previous one

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
01How does a competitor analysis with Cowork differ from asking an AI chat?
In the tecnovy course Competitor Analysis with AI, Claude Cowork works through a research brief in several steps: it opens websites, reads product pages and writes each entry with its source into a file. Instead of a summary you get a table whose rows you can check one by one.
02How reliable is AI research on competitors?
As reliable as the check that follows: Cowork can also pick up outdated prices or invent details. That is why the research brief in the tecnovy course demands a source for every entry, and you check the decisive rows yourself against the original page.
03What access to Claude Cowork does the course need?

04Am I allowed to research competitors with AI?
The tecnovy course works only with publicly accessible sources such as websites, product pages and published price lists. It covers the limits: login areas, website terms of use and what company data you give Cowork. Whether a specific use is allowed in your company is for your legal or data protection team to decide.
05Can I analyse my own market in the course?
Yes, the case study in the tecnovy course Competitor Analysis with AI can run on your own market if you wish. Bring a concrete competitor question, and check beforehand which internal information you may use in Cowork.
