ChatGPT is great for questions. But competitive intelligence needs automated monitoring, change detection, and sourced data—not manual prompts with stale training data.
ChatGPT is powerful, but it wasn't built for CI. Here's why purpose-built tools win.
❌ ChatGPT's training data is months old
✓ 3RA crawls competitor sites daily for real-time intel
❌ ChatGPT can confidently state false information
✓ 3RA sources every claim with URL + timestamp
❌ You must remember to ask the same questions repeatedly
✓ 3RA monitors automatically and pushes changes to you
❌ ChatGPT can't tell you what changed since last week
✓ 3RA diffs every crawl and alerts on material changes

ChatGPT is a Swiss Army knife. It's great for a thousand things, but it's not purpose-built for any of them.
3RA is a scalpel for competitive intelligence. Automated monitoring, sourced data, change detection, and push delivery—built for one job, done exceptionally well.
Use ChatGPT for brainstorming and research. Use 3RA when you need reliable, automated competitive intelligence that your whole team can trust.
