Claude CoworkUser story

A Thai writer gave Claude Cowork a single Thai-language request to research five note-taking apps and got back a three-sheet Excel comparison and a Thai Word report in about eight minutes.

What they did

The request named the competitors and asked for each plan's price, five main features, target customers, key selling points and supported platforms, delivered as Excel plus a Thai summary in Word. Cowork opened each product's website, used web search where pages were hard to read, then built Overview, Pricing and a 16-feature matrix sheet, and wrote a one-page Thai analysis including market gaps, saving the files to a folder.

What happened

The poster says the whole job took about eight minutes including writing the prompt and checking, against an estimated two to four hours by hand.

Keep in mind

This was a trial run on public competitor data rather than a client project. The author warns that script-heavy websites may not be read fully, so figures should be checked before use.

Try it with your agent

Research these competitors of <my product>: <competitor list>. For each, collect plan prices, five main features, target customers, main selling point and supported platforms from their official websites. Save an Excel file with an overview sheet, a pricing sheet and a feature matrix, plus a one-page Word summary in <language> that points out gaps we could fill. Note any figure you could not confirm on the official site.

Replace the <angle brackets> with your own details.
