What you see
When you ask for external research, Riley's name and avatar appear in the CEO chat panel and a Task Card opens with her as the owner. Her finished report lands as an Asset on the card — a written report with sources linked at every claim.
How to use it
- In the CEO chat, ask for the kind of intel you want, for example:
- "Tear down our top three competitors — pricing, positioning, recent moves."
- "What are people saying about [problem we solve] on Reddit and forums?"
- "Pull pricing benchmarks for [category]."
- "Market size and who else is in it for [category]."
- "Five recent customer reviews of [competitor], summarized."
- Astra brings Riley in. Watch the Task Card for the deliverable.
What you'll see in the report
A comparison table, a short narrative, and a "what this means for us" section. Riley doesn't say "competitors charge around $50/month" — she says it and links to the pricing page. If the data isn't out there, she says so explicitly rather than guess.
How the team coordinates around this
Riley pairs naturally with Sam (internal numbers): when a question is partly external and partly internal — "are we cheap vs. competitors?" — Astra brings both in and you get one combined deliverable in the same Task Card.
