Automate Competitor Research with Exa.ai, Notion and AI Agents
Try It Out! This workflow builds a competitor research agent using Exa.ai as a starting point. The HTTP Request tool is used to demonstrate how you can build powerful agents with minimal effort. Using Exa's findSimilar search, we ask it to look for similar companies ie. competitors, to our source company. This list of competitors is sent to 3 agents to scour the internet to find company overview, product offering and customer reviews. A report is then compiled from the output of all 3 agents
