Add Your Competitors
Your competitors are added during setup. Hindsight sets up a default “Monitoring” workflow for each competitor, which you can customize or turn off. This workflow automatically tracks competitor changes across the web, G2, news, and job postings — so you get a steady stream of updates without lifting a finger.
Run Your First Recipe
With competitors added, the fastest way to see Hindsight’s value is to run a recipe from the chat.
- Go to Chat in Hindsight
- You’ll see the “Getting Started - Battlecard Recipe”
- Fill out the competitor name
- Run it and review the output
Upload Your Existing Content
If your team already has competitive content — battlecards, objection handling docs, one-pagers — bring it in now.Go to Assets and connect your integration (Google Drive, Notion, or Confluence), or upload files directly. Tag each file with the relevant competitor. Files about your own company — your playbook, your messaging, your ICP — go under “You”.This seeds your knowledge base immediately. The AI assistant draws from your asset library first when answering rep questions, so the more complete it is on day one, the better the answers from the start.
Connect Slack and Test Your First Question
Hindsight works best when it meets reps where they already are.To connect:
- Add the Hindsight Slack app to your workspace
- Type
