# Configure Compete Agent

> Stand up your competitive enablement agent in four steps

Get your competitive enablement agent live in four steps. By the end, your reps can tag **@Hindsight** in Slack and get answers grounded in your content and tracked competitor pages — without you maintaining a single battlecard by hand.

Everything below happens in the [setup flow](https://app.usehindsight.com/competitors/setup). It saves as you go, so you can stop and come back anytime.

<Steps>
  <Step icon="crosshairs-simple" title="Add your competitors">
    Hindsight pre-fills the grid with **suggested competitors from your market**, so you usually start with a list already in front of you.

    Review the suggestions, then:

    * **Edit or remove** any that don't fit
    * **Add competitors** manually — enter a name or website and Hindsight enriches the logo and description automatically
    * **Import a CSV** (name, website, category) to add many at once
    * Optionally set a **category** so reps still get guidance for competitors without a named card

    Keep whatever's in the grid — those become your tracked competitors when you continue.
  </Step>

  <Step icon="cloud-arrow-up" title="Upload files and choose pages to track">
    For each competitor, give the agent something to ground its answers in:

    * **Upload your content** — battlecards, objection handling, one-pagers, decks. Connect **Google Drive, Notion, or Confluence**, or upload files directly. The agent draws from your library first, so the more you add, the better day-one answers are.
    * **Choose web pages to track** — pick the pages Hindsight watches for changes (pricing, changelog, blog, G2). It scrapes them into your intel library and keeps them current automatically.
    * **Add URL filters** (optional) — restrict the agent's web research to authoritative sources like their docs or pricing page, keeping answers grounded.

    Files about your own company — playbook, messaging, ICP — go under **"You"**.
  </Step>

  <Step icon="sparkle" title="Add agent instructions">
    Continue to the agent step, where you can test a real question against a **live Slack simulation** — ask exactly what a rep would mid-deal:

    > *@Hindsight how do we beat \[Competitor X] in an enterprise deal?*

    Then shape how the agent responds:

    * **Custom instructions** — tone, positioning rules, things to always (or never) say, so the agent stays on message
    * **Notifications** — route feedback and answer activity to the right Slack channel or people

    If an answer looks thin, that's signal — go back and add more content for that competitor.
  </Step>

  <Step icon="rocket" title="Deploy">
    Put the agent where your reps already work:

    * **Connect Slack** from the setup screen, then invite Hindsight to a channel like **#compete**
    * Reps tag **@Hindsight** in any channel — or DM it directly — to get an answer grounded in your library and tracked pages
    * **MCP endpoint** (optional) — use the same agent inside Claude, ChatGPT, or any other AI tool. See the [MCP docs](https://docs.usehindsight.com/integrations/mcp).

    That's it — your competitive enablement agent is live.
