# AI competitor + news monitor in Microsoft Teams

*OREN-01 watches public sources — SEC filings, press releases, exec moves, product launches — and posts a one-page brief in your strategy Teams channel when something matters.*

← Parent: [Microsoft Teams](https://fidelic.ai/integrations/microsoft-teams)

## The problem

By the time someone forwards the competitor's earnings call to the team, half the news cycle is over. Strategy and product leads want to know about competitive moves the day they happen, not the week after. The watching is real work; the synthesis to one paragraph is the part that takes time.

## Who this is for

VPs of Strategy, product leaders, marketing leads, and CEOs at growth-stage companies tracking three to ten direct competitors. Especially useful for teams operating out of Microsoft Teams who already have a strategy or competitive-intelligence channel.

## What it does weekly

- Monitors competitors' SEC filings, press releases, careers pages, and product changelogs
- Reads tier-one industry press and analyst coverage tagged to your space
- Drafts a one-page brief when something material moves — what changed, what it implies, what to watch
- Posts the brief in your strategy Teams channel with the original sources linked
- Compiles a weekly digest summarizing the cluster: which competitors moved, what the common thread is
- Logs the running watchlist as a SharePoint list the team can reference at any time

## At a glance

- First useful output: A one-page competitor brief in the strategy Teams channel when a tracked competitor moves — with the original source linked.
- Time to first output: Same day

## How it works

| Trigger | Action | Outcome |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Competitor files an 8-K, S-1, or quarterly | OREN-01 reads the filing, drafts a one-page brief: what changed, what it implies, what to watch | Strategy channel gets the brief within an hour of the filing; team reads on the same news cycle as analysts |
| Competitor ships a product update or launches a new feature | OREN-01 reads the announcement and the product changelog, drafts a brief on the gap or the threat | Product team sees the move before customers ask about it in support tickets |
| Senior hire announced at a tracked competitor | OREN-01 drafts a brief on what the hire signals — sector pivot, new market, exec churn pattern | CEO and strategy lead see the signal early, not in a Forbes article three weeks later |
| Friday afternoon | OREN-01 posts the weekly competitive digest — cluster of moves, common thread, what to watch next week | Team starts Monday with a current view, not catching up from a month ago |

## What gets wired

- [Wire Teams channels and chats](https://fidelic.ai/integrations/microsoft-teams/setup-teams-channels) — How the agent listens for @-mentions, posts threaded replies, and uses adaptive cards. Base wiring every other use case depends on.
- [Wire SharePoint and OneDrive](https://fidelic.ai/integrations/microsoft-teams/setup-sharepoint-onedrive) — How the agent reads SharePoint sites and OneDrive folders for knowledge search, contract review, and grounding answers in your team's documents.

## Recommended agent

[OREN-01](https://fidelic.ai/agents/oren) — AI Research Analyst

## What it costs

[OREN-01](/agents/oren) costs a small fraction of what a mid-market analyst or strategy associate costs. The agent does the parts of competitive intelligence that scale — the watching, the reading, the synthesis. A research analyst runs $8–12K/month fully loaded; the strategic interpretation, the board-deck framing, and the founder-level judgment calls stay with them. See the math on /pricing.

## Edges of this connection

[OREN-01](/agents/oren) currently does not:

- Make strategic recommendations. The agent surfaces what changed and what it might imply; the team decides how to respond.
- Read non-public sources. The agent reads SEC filings, press releases, public product pages, public blog posts, and licensed news APIs. Private leaks and rumor channels are out.
- Replace dedicated competitive-intelligence platforms (Crayon, Klue) for teams that want full battlecard infrastructure. OREN is the Teams-native daily-brief surface, not a battlecard CMS.
