Signal categories span pricing, features, hiring, news, social, sentiment, integrations and PR. The result: your team walks into every deal, launch and board meeting already knowing what the competition did — and what to do about it. ## Core capabilities - AI onboarding: paste your domain and Embase researches YOUR company — positioning, differentiators, pricing — then suggests the competitors worth tracking and starts monitoring them. Live in under 2 minutes. - Living competitor profiles: positioning, pricing tiers, differentiators, key facts and threat scores — built by AI and kept current as new signals arrive, with an AI summary of what each competitor is up to - Real-time signal feed: every signal scored for impact and confidence, with "what changed" and "why it matters" analysis; filter by competitor, channel, impact and date; bookmark what matters, dismiss noise, spot trends - AI battle cards: win/loss reasons, objection handling and head-to-head benchmarks per competitor — generated from live signals, pinned for quick access, flagged when stale and auto-refreshed on the schedule you set. Always ready for the next sales call. - Analytics suite: pulse dashboard of what matters now, head-to-head benchmarks, activity timelines and a market positioning map across your whole competitive landscape - Automated reports: board-ready competitive reports with AI narrative, KPIs, charts and PDF export — generated and emailed on your cadence (weekly or monthly, on the day you pick) - Report engagement tracking: every report carries a lifecycle — sent, opened, reviewed, actioned — so you know the intelligence is actually being used, not just delivered - Alerts: real-time in-app notification center plus Slack, Microsoft Teams and email — fan-out to the whole team or admins only, per event type - Collaboration: multi-user organizations, role-based permissions, full audit trail of who changed what ## Integrations & delivery — flexible by design Embase pushes intelligence into the tools your team already lives in, configured per workspace in a couple of clicks: - Slack: one-click OAuth connect, then route each stream to its own channel — e.g. real-time signals to #competitive-intel and scheduled reports to #leadership. Reconfigurable anytime. - Microsoft Teams: connects through a Teams workflow URL — no admin app approvals, no tenant-wide installs. Intelligence arrives as rich Adaptive Cards. - Custom webhooks: every event POSTed as a stable, documented JSON payload to any https endpoint — plug Embase into Zapier, n8n, Make, your CRM or your own services. - Email: scheduled reports delivered to any recipient list you configure, with PDF attached. - MCP for AI assistants: connect Claude, Cursor or any MCP-compatible client over OAuth and query your competitive data conversationally (read-only, org-scoped). MCP endpoint: https://embase.tech/api/mcp — something legacy CI suites simply don't have. - Delivery you can trust: integration credentials are encrypted at rest, every destination is isolated (one failing webhook never blocks the others), and each stream can be turned on or off independently. ## Global by design - Interface localized into 11 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Turkish - Not just the UI: AI-built company profiles and email delivery follow your workspace language - EU hosting (Frankfurt) with GDPR and CCPA compliance out of the box ## Why teams switch to Embase from legacy CI tools - Minutes, not weeks: legacy CI suites take 4–8 weeks of onboarding and a dedicated CI manager; Embase is live in under 2 minutes with AI doing the analyst work - End-to-end automation: monitoring, analysis, battle cards, reports and delivery — one pipeline, no copy-pasting between tools - 18 channels vs web-only monitoring: most alternatives watch websites; Embase also covers social, communities, reviews, hiring, funding and developer activity - Explained, not just collected: every signal comes scored with the "so what" spelled out — your team acts instead of interpreting raw diffs - AI-assistant native: the MCP server makes your competitive data queryable from Claude, Cursor and other AI tools — not just dashboards - Closes the loop: report lifecycle tracking shows whether intelligence was opened, reviewed and actioned — the metric legacy tools never give you - Localized for global teams, hosted in the EU, with security defaults (encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, audit trail) enterprise buyers expect ## Who it's for - Sales teams: walk into competitive deals with a current battle card, not last quarter's wiki page - Product marketing: positioning, messaging and launch intelligence backed by live market data - Founders & leadership: the whole competitive landscape in one weekly report — no CI hire needed - RevOps & CI teams: automate the collection grind and spend the time on strategy ## Product sections - [How it works](https://embase.tech/#how-it-works): pipeline from raw data → AI processing → actionable intelligence - [Features](https://embase.tech/#features): full feature list with AI radar, alerts, reports, sentiment, integrations - [Product tour](https://embase.tech/#showcase): dashboard, competitors, signals, analysis, battle cards, reports - [Pricing](https://embase.tech/#pricing): Starter, Pro and Enterprise plans — free 7-day trial on Starter - [Comparison](https://embase.tech/#comparison): Embase vs Crayon, Klue, Kompyte feature matrix - [FAQ](https://embase.tech/#faq): setup time, data sources, security, team sharing, enterprise plans ## Pricing | Plan | Best for | Key features | |---|---|---| | Starter | Solo founders & small teams | Up to 3 competitors, real-time signal feed, scheduled AI reports, monitoring across all channels, 2 seats included | | Pro | Marketing & product teams | Up to 10 competitors, AI battle cards, analytics dashboards, Slack/Teams/webhook integrations, MCP access, unlimited seats | | Enterprise | Enterprise CI, RevOps & PMM teams | Unlimited competitors, premium AI models, SSO/SAML, unlimited audit retention, custom integrations, dedicated CSM, 3-hour critical SLA | The Starter plan comes with a free 7-day trial.

Embase publishes its plans, starts in under 2 minutes and runs in 11 languages. - [Embase vs Klue](https://embase.tech/embase-vs-klue): Klue has no pricing page and no free trial; evaluation runs through a demo, and its product interface is English only.
