COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE OS
Signal monitoring. AI synthesis. Delivered.
Tesseract Intelligence tracks what competitors ship, price, hire, and announce — then synthesizes it into structured briefings delivered to your inbox, Slack, or Discord. Built as infrastructure, not a dashboard.
ARCHITECTURE
Built in 5 phases
Each phase is independently deployable and testable. No big-bang launches — every layer ships with its own E2E coverage before the next one starts.
- Onboarding wizard
- Competitor landscape config
- Supabase + RLS
- Clerk auth bypass for E2E
- GitHub commit monitoring
- Changelog RSS parsing
- Pricing page diffs
- Hiring signal detection
- API key generation (SHA-256)
- Rate limiting by tier
- Webhook ingestion
- Context upsert endpoint
- Resend transactional email
- Slack Block Kit messages
- Discord embed chunking
- Scheduler orchestration
- Stripe checkout + portal
- Trial gating logic
- Tier-based feature flags
- Webhook subscription sync
Knox as first user. Real competitors. Real keys. Real briefings. In queue.
SIGNAL PIPELINE
Four signal types, one pipeline
Pull fetchers run on a configurable schedule per competitor. Each fetcher is independently gated — enable only what's relevant to your landscape.
GitHub Activity
Public commit history, release tags, and repository activity. Spot when a competitor ships a feature before they announce it.
1hr in-memory cache · GitHub public APIChangelog RSS
RSS/Atom feed monitoring for product changelog pages. Parses both RSS 2.0 and Atom formats — catches the changelog-as-signal pattern most teams overlook.
RSS 2.0 + Atom · pub date sortingPricing Diffs
SHA-256 hash of the full pricing page HTML, stored in Postgres. Any change — even a minor copy edit — surfaces as a signal for review.
SHA-256 · pricing_snapshots tableHiring Signals
Greenhouse and Lever public job APIs. Headcount growth in specific departments (engineering, sales, ML) is a leading indicator of strategic direction.

AI BRIEFINGS
Synthesis, not summaries
Signals are classified by claude-haiku-4-5 for relevance scoring and tagging. The top signals from the past 7 days are then synthesized by claude-sonnet-4-6 into a structured briefing with mandatory source URLs for every claim.
The classifier returns a relevance score (0–1), a one-line summary, and tags. The briefing generator produces an executive summary, a categorized signal list, strategic implications, and a focus recommendation.
CLASSIFIER
claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
Runs on every raw signal. Returns relevance, summary, tags. Fast and cheap — designed to run at volume.
SYNTHESIZER
claude-sonnet-4-6
Runs once per landscape per scheduled cycle. Takes the top signals from the past 7 days and produces the full structured briefing. Source URLs are required per item — hallucination guardrail baked into the prompt.
PIPELINE TRIGGER
POST /api/scheduler/run
Pipeline secret-authenticated endpoint. Scheduler iterates all active landscapes, runs signal fetching, classification, and briefing generation in sequence. Designed for launchd cron or any external orchestrator.

PUSH API
Inject signals programmatically
The Pull pipeline covers public signals. The Push API covers everything else — your internal sales intel, customer calls, custom scrapers, anything that doesn't have a public feed.
Three endpoints: /signal for raw signals, /context for competitor metadata upserts, and /webhook for raw payload ingestion from any source.
DELIVERY
Briefings reach you where you work
Each channel is independently implemented and tier-gated. Email is available on all paid tiers. Slack and Discord are Pro+.
Inline HTML briefings via Resend. Structured sections — executive summary, signals, implications. No template engine — assembled in code.
Slack
Block Kit messages with dividers, markdown sections, and source links. One block per signal so threads stay navigable.
Discord
Embed-based delivery, chunked 3-per-message to stay under Discord's 10-embed limit. Color-coded by signal type.

PHASE 06 — IN QUEUE
The dogfood run
The next phase is using it. Knox as the first user — real competitors, real API keys, real briefings delivered to a real Slack channel. Tracking against Crayon, Klue, and Kompyte: the established players in the space. If the system surfaces something they miss, it ships.
