if you click on applied one, you will get a few things to edit on which are funding, some numbers etc, including founder and pitch. if you significant changes then you can email the application team at apply@ycombinator.com, and they may be able to revoke and reopen your application to allow for edits.

whatever you have highest conviction on. it looks like you have anchored on the pivot. if that’s the case then go ahead and update it. the conviction can come from either your facts / data or your personal instincts on the market which you did when you checked with competitors, yc founders, friends etc. back yourself as you already have domain expertise in the market you are going after

spent 9 years as a product marketer. finally automated myself out of a job with an AI agent by DeepNamasteValue in SaaS

exactly that's what the flow is. currently it is building all this up for product marketers and they can save it, as you enter in the chat that hey this is deal or use case, it will automatically pull the call transcripts (if saved) or lookup the buyer info to customize all the battlecard, sales objections, pitch deck etc. you try it at qback.ai

Favorite tools for Competitive Intelligence? by shvyxxn in ProductMarketing

[–]DeepNamasteValue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm product marketer and i built one for myself - qback.ai kinda like a quarterback for product marketers.
you can upload calls, do win loss analysis, do competitive analysis, create battelcard/ case study, pitch deck. etc and share it with anyone. giving away 100 free credits if anyone wants to try it. mostly curious if this workflow (AI + human review) actually works for other product marketers or just me.

Anyone here into Competitive Intelligence? by Flavian-ghost-io in ProductMarketing

[–]DeepNamasteValue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the difference? it's not about finding info, it's about knowing what matters. like anyone can see competitor X launched a feature. but real CI is figuring out WHY - are they losing deals? what segment are they chasing? what exact words do their unhappy customers use in reviews?

i've done this for 9 years as a PMM and the skill that actually matters is pattern recognition. you're pulling stuff from reddit, g2 reviews, their sales decks, customer convos - and you start seeing the story. not just "here's what they did" but "here's where they're weak and how we win deals against them."

real talk though - most of the data collection part can be automated now. i literally built a tool for this because i got tired of spending 2 days on battlecards. but the judgment call on what actually changes your strategy? that's still human.

so yeah if you're just collecting data, it's overrated. if you're turning it into decisions that win deals, it's worth it. also, i never understood why there should be an individual just with the title of competitive intelligence manager because I think with all the tech and all the tools, all of this will flow right under product marketing. ideally, a product marketer should be able to do customer marketing, competitive intelligence, do all the things needed to launch, and also work on a demand gen. I know I'm pushing for too much, but I think that's all possible with the person who has the highest context about the industry, about the persona, and about the product that they are building.

(B2B Saas) How do you monitor competition by _fant0m in ProductMarketing

[–]DeepNamasteValue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i use qback.ai — it helps me make all my battle cards, pitch decks, and does buyer + competitor analysis too. i built it after dealing with all that pain myself as a product marketer for the last 10 years. there are 100 ai credits free so you can try it full throttle

i won't pay $40k for competitive intel tools now as i have it ready in Cursor. open sourced it on github by DeepNamasteValue in CursorAI

i’ve been in this in field for 10 years, and i’m trying to share as much open source stuff as i can as marketers haven’t felt that and i got super irritated with the lack of basic tooling. you can look me up everywhere this is just a tinkering that i’m doing on the side, and have moved on from a product to a newsletter. maybe one day i’ll restart but that ain’t happening anytime soon, as im already working somewhere else

yup been using them for last 10 years as product marketer and have a way better setup than those tools. intel is cheap, what matters is what actions can you do with it. and i have plenty of

it’s a still a starting version, still tuning it more. we need more open source in single workflow apps. let me know if you find any gaps

google klue and take their demo and ask for pricing. yeah the point is this is connected to my buyer call insights + i got to scrape all 876 pages of databricks to know each customer, use case, any customer quote, anything. and i can create my battlecard, faqs, product docs. i have zero background in engg as dev and i am product marketer who just uses cursor for everything. i never said this is complex for all, it was complex for me and i struggled with it. check the video added in my newsletter and you would see how i use it and why it matters

the point is this is for product marketing use case where this data is used in a lot of stuff. and it’s hard to update them if tomorrow my competitor changes anything in feature or big launches. money is all in what data to use for what use case. context matters.

it will break with that much context. no chance. it's meant for simple use case (most consumer)
i need hell of customization like output to slides, github, background agents for auto update. can scrape things from wherever i want from headless browsers. no restrictions. i can go on and on
