Competitor teardowns,not forty forgotten tabs
Competitive analysis usually dies between the browsing and the writing: you toured the rival's product two weeks ago, and all that survives is a folder of screenshots. Khint lets you capture competitor screens as text the moment you see them, collect everything in one work session, and draft the brief from that collected context, not from what you half-remember.
The evidence is on screens,
the brief is due in a doc
A competitor's real positioning lives in pixels: the pricing table, the plan-limits fine print, the changelog cadence. None of it copies cleanly, so it ends up as screenshots nobody reopens. Khint's three pillars, Agents, Capture, and Memory, close that gap: capture turns their screens into text on the spot, the session keeps every finding in one compacted context, and one saved Action drafts the brief from evidence instead of vibes.
One afternoon of touring, one brief your team trusts
From “why do we keep losing to them?” to a published page, with the evidence attached.
Open one session for the teardown
Sales lost two deals to the same rival, and now it's your job to find out why. Start a Memory session named “Teardown · Acme” before you open the first tab. From here on, every screen you capture and every note you type accumulates in one place on your machine, instead of across a screenshot folder, a scratch doc, and your memory.
Tour their product and capture as you go
Walk through the competitor's pricing page, feature grid, and changelog in your browser. Whenever something matters, run Extract text from the palette and drag over the region: the pricing tiers, the plan limits, the release dated last month. The text lands on your clipboard and in your session as a capture entry, so the teardown is built on their exact wording, not your paraphrase. How Capture works →
Interrogate the screens that don't explain themselves
Some screens need more than extraction: a pricing matrix with three asterisks, an architecture diagram in their docs. Run Capture & ask, frame the region, and ask in chat: what is actually included in the middle tier, what does this diagram say about their deployment model. Follow-up questions stay in the same conversation, about the same screenshot.
Pull in what your team already knows
The freshest intel is usually in your own Slack. With Slack connected on the MCP page, pull the thread where sales recapped the lost deal, or search for the rival's name across messages, straight from the palette. Each pull lands as an entry on the teardown session next to your captures, so field anecdotes and observed facts sit in the same context.
Draft the competitive brief with one Action
Save an Actiononce: “Write a competitive brief: their positioning, pricing and packaging, where they beat us, where we beat them, what to watch next quarter.” Run it, and because the teardown session is active, its compacted context rides along on the prompt. The draft quotes the tiers you captured and the deal feedback you pulled, instead of generic statements about “a competitive landscape”.
Publish it where decisions get made
From the palette, run Confluence's Create page or Notion's Create page: the brief lands in your team's space with the title taken from the first line. Next quarter, reopen a fresh session, capture the same screens again, and Notion's Append adds the delta to the same teardown page.
Why not just ask a chatbot about the competitor?
Ask a chatbot about a rival's pricing and you get a confident answer that was true eighteen months ago, or never. Competitive claims are exactly the kind of thing you cannot afford to hallucinate in front of leadership. Khint flips the sourcing: the facts come off the competitor's live screens the day you toured them, land as dated entries in a Memory session, and the drafting Action inherits that context automatically. When the brief says the middle tier caps at ten seats, that line traces back to a capture of their actual pricing page. And because sessions never leave your device, your candid read on where you are losing stays private until you choose to publish. For the capture-and-chat move on its own, see asking AI about your screen.
Common questions
Does Khint browse competitor websites for me?
No, and that keeps the analysis honest. Khint has no crawler and no monitoring feed: you tour the competitor's product, pricing page, or changelog in your own browser, and capture what is actually on your screen. Extract text pulls the words out of any region you frame; Capture & ask opens a chat about the screenshot when you want to interrogate a dense pricing table. The teardown is built from what you saw with your own eyes on a given day, not from a model's stale memory of a marketing site.
Where do my captures and teardown notes end up?
The screenshot region you frame is sent to the AI once, to extract the text or answer your question, and is not used to build any profile. The extracted text then lives on your machine: capture history bodies are stored in a local database and never sync to Khint's servers, and the Memory session holding your teardown is local-only by design. The only thing that leaves is the brief you explicitly publish to Confluence or Notion at the end.
Can I run several competitor teardowns in parallel?
Yes. Keep one Memory session per competitor: Teardown · Acme, Teardown · Initech. One session is active at a time, and everything you capture or pull lands on the active one, so switch the active session before you switch tabs to the other competitor. Each session compacts into its own running summary, which means the drafting Action for Acme is grounded in Acme's screens only, not a soup of every rival at once.
Our research lives in Notion, not Confluence. Does this work?
Yes. Connect Notion from the MCP page with an integration token and the palette gains Notion rows: Create page publishes your brief as a new page, and Append adds a fresh round of findings to the teardown page you already keep. The Confluence route works the same way through an Atlassian connection. Either way the publish step is explicit, from the palette, with you choosing where it lands.
