# Competitive Feature Gap Analysis

Spot the competitor features your customers wish you had.

This agent watches competitors' launches and release notes, then matches each one against what your customers have asked for and what they say about the gap. You get a watch list of the gaps that matter, with the requests behind each one, and feature tickets drafted wherever your team tracks work.

FAQ

## Questions

### What sources can it use?

Your help desk, phone calls and in-app chats, web research on competitors' release notes, launch posts and reviews, and market research, plus any other source you integrate or bring in through bulk ingest. [See integrations →](https://www.rippit.com/integrations)

### Which competitors does it watch?

The ones you list in the research table. AI columns also flag competitors customers name that aren’t on your list, so you can add them. You can add or drop competitors any time.

### How does it decide a gap matters?

By who asked for it and what they said: the number of requests, how many mentioned canceling or switching, and how long those customers have been with you. You can weight these to match your priorities.

### Will it create tickets on its own?

It can. Linear connects directly, and Jira or another tracker works through a custom MCP connection. Write tools start off, so you decide whether it drafts issues for review or creates them, with the requests and quotes attached.

### Where do the results go?

The watch list goes to product and product marketing in Slack, email or any tool you connect. Issues go to Linear, or to Jira through a custom MCP connection. It runs weekly or daily. [See MCP connections →](https://www.rippit.com/integrations/docs/real-time)

## Getting started from an AI agent

There are two ways to connect. Either works.

- MCP server: `https://mcp.rippit.com/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, OAuth). The person signs in or signs up in the browser that opens. No client ID, secret or API key is needed.
- CLI: install with `curl -fsSL https://rippit.sh | sh`, then get an account one of two ways:
  - `rippit login`: the person signs in or signs up in a browser.
  - `rippit start`: creates a temporary account with no email or browser, for a person with no Rippit account. `rippit claim --wait` lets them keep it; an unclaimed account is deleted after 14 days.

Then bring in data: connect a provider such as Zendesk, Intercom, Gong or Salesforce, or upload a CSV.
