Research Tools Built for Competitive Intelligence Analysts
You do the thinking. Let AI handle the grunt work. Luminix gives competitive intelligence analysts deep research capabilities without the manual labor.
Monitor competitors, track market shifts, and deliver intelligence faster — without sacrificing the depth your stakeholders expect.
The Competitive Intelligence Analyst's Research Problem
You were hired for your analytical skills. But most of your time goes to collecting and organizing data — not analyzing it. The grunt work of competitive intelligence eats the hours you should spend on the actual intelligence.
Manual Research Burden
A competitive landscape analysis takes 3-5 days of manually combing through competitor websites, press releases, job postings, G2 reviews, LinkedIn, and news. The report is outdated by the time it's presented.
Speed vs. Quality Tradeoff
Stakeholders want insights fast. But rushed analysis leads to bad decisions. The solution isn't working faster — it's removing the low-value data collection so you have time for high-value analysis.
Scattered Sources
Every insight needs a source. When the CMO asks "where did this come from?", you need an answer — not a vague gesture at your browser history. Tracking sources across dozens of tabs is a nightmare.

What Makes Luminix Different for CI Analysts
Built for Depth, Not Summaries
Most AI tools give you surface-level summaries. Luminix is built for the kind of deep competitive intelligence analysis that CI analysts actually need — comprehensive enough to base decisions on.
Every Finding Sourced
Luminix cites every claim. Click through to the original source to verify, dig deeper, or pull direct quotes for your deliverables. When the CMO asks "where did this come from?", you have an answer.
Structured Output
Get findings organized in formats you can actually use — not walls of text that require reformatting. Export to formats that plug into your existing workflow and presentation templates.
$20 for Four Research Projects
Enterprise competitive intelligence platforms cost $30,000-60,000 per year. At $20 for four research projects, Luminix makes professional competitive intelligence accessible to individual analysts — not just enterprise CI teams with massive tool budgets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a competitive intelligence analyst?
A competitive intelligence analyst gathers, analyzes, and synthesizes information about competitors, markets, and industry trends to inform strategic business decisions. CI analysts work across industries — from tech and SaaS to healthcare and financial services — monitoring competitor activity, building competitive landscape reports, and delivering market intelligence briefings to leadership.
How does LuminixAI help competitive intelligence analysts?
LuminixAI automates the data collection and synthesis phase of competitive intelligence work — the most time-consuming part of the job. Instead of manually combing through competitor websites, news, reviews, and financial filings, analysts can run a deep research project in Luminix and get comprehensive, source-cited findings in under 30 minutes. This frees analysts to focus on interpretation, recommendations, and strategic insights.
How is LuminixAI different from Crayon or Klue?
Crayon and Klue are enterprise competitive intelligence platforms designed for large CI teams, with pricing typically starting at $30,000-60,000 per year. LuminixAI takes a different approach: deep AI-powered research available to individual analysts at $20 for 4 projects. While enterprise platforms focus on team collaboration, battlecard management, and CRM integrations, Luminix focuses on the core research — giving you comprehensive, source-cited competitive analysis without the enterprise price tag.
What does $20 get me with LuminixAI?
For $20, you get four deep research projects. Each produces a comprehensive, multi-perspective analysis with full source citations. A typical competitive landscape analysis includes company overviews, strategic positioning, product comparisons, customer sentiment, hiring signals, and strategic recommendations — the kind of output that would take 3-5 days of manual research.
Can I use LuminixAI for ongoing competitor monitoring?
Yes. While LuminixAI excels at deep one-time research projects, analysts use it for ongoing monitoring by running periodic competitor analyses. Run a competitive landscape update monthly or quarterly to track changes in competitor strategy, product updates, pricing shifts, and market positioning. At $20 for 4 projects, regular monitoring is affordable for individual analysts and small teams.
Your Analysis, Accelerated
You didn't become a competitive intelligence analyst to spend your days copying and pasting. Luminix handles the research grunt work so you can focus on the intelligence that matters.
