Use ChatGPT with Catalogue Scraper to extract a catalogue and produce a formatted new-product report. ChatGPT is well-suited for turning a list of new SKUs into a structured stakeholder document — categorized, prioritized, and with positioning commentary for each launch.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Catalogue Scraper tool:

  1. Provide the catalogue URL and the baseline SKU list.
  2. Ask ChatGPT to run `scrape_catalogue` and identify new SKUs not in the baseline.
  3. Have ChatGPT group new products by category and price tier.
  4. Ask for a prioritized list of launches that are most strategically relevant to your own range.

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the Catalogue Scraper tool
Use catalogue-scraper to extract products from https://competitor.com/products. Identify products not in this baseline: [paste SKU list]. Group the new products by category and price tier, then produce a prioritized report of the 5 most strategically significant launches relative to our own mid-range kitchen appliance range.

Tips

  • Ask for a prioritized top-5 rather than the full list — stakeholders respond to the few launches that matter most.
  • Include the price tier grouping — it reveals whether the competitor is trading up or down.
  • Add your own positioning context in the prompt so the prioritization is actually relative to your strategy.
