Market research with AI: customers, competitors and prices, with sources
The Draimo team
Short answer
Good market research answers three things: who else sells what you sell, what they charge, and what their customers wish were better. With Agent Mode, Draimo searches the live web, reads competitors' pages and reviews, and cites each one, so you can open the source. It saves days of browsing. What it cannot do is ask your customers: talk to ten of them before you trust any conclusion.

What to find out
- Competitors: who sells to the same customers, including the informal ones.
- Prices: what each charges, and what is included at that price.
- Gaps: what reviews and comments say customers wish they had.
- Size: roughly how many people could buy, from official statistics where they exist.
How to run it with Draimo
Ask a specific question, name your city or market, and ask for sources. Agent Mode searches, reads the pages and puts the findings in a table with a link for each row. Keep the research in a Project next to your plan, and ask Draimo to turn it into a short report when you need to share it.
Its limits
Web research shows what businesses publish and what customers post, which leans toward the loudest voices and the businesses online. Many small competitors have no website at all. Treat the research as a map to check, then walk the market and speak to customers yourself.
Questions people ask
- Can AI do market research?
- It can gather and summarise what is published: competitors, prices and reviews, with sources. It cannot replace speaking to your own customers.
- How do I check an AI's research?
- Ask for a source for every claim, open the important ones, and confirm prices directly with the business where you can.
