Page: 'Tasksmith — Internal Positioning Brief, Q2 2026'\n\nWhat we are: a project management tool for teams of 10–50 people who think in checklists, not Gantt charts. Built for fast-moving startups, not enterprise PMOs.\n\nTarget customer: PM or founder at a 15–40 person post-Series A startup. Buys self-serve, expands by team invitation. Common quote: 'burned by Asana's complexity, outgrew Trello'.\n\nPositioning we own:\n- 'Lightweight enough that engineers actually update it'\n- 'Setup in 10 minutes, not 10 days'\n- Native AI summary in standup view (shipped Feb 2026, 41% weekly active among Pro users)\n\nWhere we lose:\n- Teams over 60 people: complaints about lack of resource-management view\n- Customers who need Gantt: we don't have one and have refused to build one\n- Buyers comparing on price alone: ClickUp undercuts us by $5/seat\n- Sales-led enterprise deals: no field team, no SOC2 Type II yet (Q3 target)\n\nOpen strategic questions:\n- Move upmarket to 50–200 person teams, or double down on the 10–50 niche?\n- AI features free or paid add-on? Currently free, eats ~3 points of margin.\n- Q3 launch: 'AI Standup Writer' — one-click weekly recap from task updates. ETA July.

Summary  
This chapter covers how to design and implement a multi-tool conversational agent by defining its system prompt (identity), tool-routing logic, output format, and constraints to ensure both actionable guidance and traceability of information sources.

General domain of usage  
Competitive analysis

Ikke mere stillads. Ingen gennemgået eksempel. Du har lært teknikkerne – dette kapitel er din mulighed for at bevise, at de er dine.



## Scenariet

Det er søndag aften. Din CEO sender dig en besked:

><b>Hurtig tjeneste – til morgendagens lederseminar, kan du lave et overblik over, hvor vi står i forhold til de 3 største konkurrenter? Kun hovedpunkterne – hvor vi vinder, hvor vi taber, største risiko.

Du har ikke en time eller to. Du har en **Competitive Research Analyst**-agent – den, du er ved at bygge.



## Hvad ledelsesteamet har brug for

De ønsker et brief, der **tager stilling**:

| Hvad de har brug for | Hvad det betyder |
|---|---|
| En **sejr**, de ikke allerede kendte til | Nævnt med dokumentation |
| Et **tab**, de undervurderer | Nævnt med dokumentation |
| En **risiko**, de bør bekymre sig om | Nævnt på almindeligt dansk |



## Selvevalueringsrubrik

| Test | Spørg dig selv |
|---|---|
| **Specifik eller generisk?** | Peger hvert udsagn på et tal, et konkurrentnavn, en dato? |
| **Position eller opsummering?** | Er der noget agenten *mener*, eller blot en liste over eksisterende ting? |
| **Kilder eller opfundet?** | Kan du spore hvert faktum tilbage til et af værktøjerne? |
| **Kan videresendes?** | Ville du indsætte dette i Slack og tagge din CEO, eller ville du redigere det først? |



## Opgave

><b>Analysér vores konkurrencesituation i forhold til de 3 største PM SaaS-konkurrenter. Hvor vinder vi, hvor taber vi, og hvad er vores største strategiske risiko for næste kvartal?


## Hvad du faktisk har bygget

Ikke en chatbot. **En kollega.** Den samme agentstruktur – persona, værktøjer, struktureret output – fungerer til triage, metrisk oversigt, kundeemne-research, evalueringer, bestyrelsesopdateringer.

><b>**Konklusion:** du lærer ikke blot at bruge AI. Du lærer at samle det.



## Hvor dette går hen næste gang

Samme persona. Samme værktøjsrouting. Samme outputformat. **Rigtige data nedenunder** – i det øjeblik disse værktøjer forbinder til din rigtige Notion, metrics og konkurrenter.
