Grok 3 DeepSearch Competitive Analysis & Segmentation Prompt

Grok 3 prompt for X-only competitor research and jobs-to-be-done segmentation.

A detailed market research prompt designed for Grok 3's DeepSearch mode that restricts research solely to X (Twitter) discussions. It systematically surfaces top competitors, analyzes customer complaints and feature requests, and maps the market using a jobs-to-be-done framework across functional, emotional, and social dimensions.

The prompt

Template: "I want to build a business that [idea] for [target market]. My goal is to minimize the time and effort to [core value proposition]." Instructs DeepSearch to analyze posts on X/Twitter ONLY (no other websites). Covers: (1) Competitive Analysis — top 10 competitors with top 3 core value props, unique selling proposition, common customer complaints, common feature requests. (2) Segmented Addressable Market — define 5-7 segments by jobs-to-be-done rather than demographics: cluster customers by circumstances and desired outcomes (functional vs social/emotional needs); for each segment understand the specific progress the customer is making, why they choose options, motivations and contexts of use, triggers that prompt seeking a solution. Analyze each segment through three dimensions: Functional Value (practical problem solved, time/effort minimized), Emotional Value (how the customer feels before/during/after, social standing), Social Value (effect on social interactions, external perception). Then market opportunities: tailor features, marketing messages, UX to each segment's job. (3) Report structure: A. Market Analysis (segmented addressable markets; key desired outcomes & pain points — job map outcomes, importance/satisfaction assessment, high-importance/low-satisfaction = innovation opportunities; market opportunities with ideation across functional/social/emotional dimensions); B. Competitive Analysis (competitor positioning by jobs-to-be-done; 5-7 ways to frame/build product to capture share, serve underserved markets, keep edge); C. Conclusion (three best possible product directions). Guidelines: skip no sections; spend as much time as permitted and more — 'don't tell me you can't do this, just do it.'
