# How to Identify Competitor Strengths and Weaknesses with Copilot

Copilot builds competitor SWOT analyses from your IDE, keeping strategic intelligence close to where product decisions happen. Reference competitor strengths and weaknesses while writing product specs, architecture decisions, or go-to-market plans without context-switching to separate research tools.

## Setup

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to Copilot MCP config
2. Ask: "Research strengths and weaknesses of competing auth providers"
3. Review the analysis inline
4. Ask: "What technical weaknesses could we exploit?"
5. Use insights to differentiate your product's technical approach

## Example Prompt

```
Analyze strengths and weaknesses of Auth0, Clerk, and Supabase Auth. Focus on developer experience and technical trade-offs.
```

## Tips

- Perfect for understanding competitor technical strengths while building
- Ask Copilot to map weaknesses to specific features you could build better
