Competitor research

Read competitor videos
end-to-end.

Stop scrubbing through videos to find the one quote. Paste the URL, get the full transcript with timestamps, and pull out hooks, pivots, and angles.

Faster than rewatching the video.

A research flow
that fits creators.

From a URL to a point of view, in four practical steps.

01

Pull the full transcript.

Paste a competitor video URL and read the whole thing as text — no scrubbing, no replaying.

02

Scan the structure.

See the hook, the pivot, the payoff. Use timestamps to trace the pacing.

03

Pull out the angles.

Quote lines, save phrasings, note which moments landed. Copy them into your research doc.

04

Plan your response.

Use what you learned to write a stronger hook, sharpen a script, or brief a creator on the room.

What to look for
in the transcript.

Reading a video stripped of its edit makes the argument — and the gaps — much easier to see.

Hooks that earn the watch time.

How does the opening 10 seconds land? What do they promise, and how fast?

The actual argument, not the edit.

Reading the transcript strips out b-roll and jump cuts. You see the argument as-is.

Reusable angles and phrasings.

Strong lines, good framings, clever analogies — save them with timestamps so you can find them again.

Gaps you can own.

What did they skip? What did they get wrong? That's your video.
