What they did
1) In Claude's connector directory, search for Smacient and enable its marketing-context connector, which includes the Amazon review tools. Prepare competitor ASINs or product URLs and choose the relevant Amazon marketplace. 2) Ask Claude to retrieve reviews for those established products. Filter toward lower star ratings to find dissatisfaction, or use a keyword such as packaging or sizing to examine a particular concern. 3) Read the recurring complaints across the returned reviews and use those customer concerns to decide which product benefits the launch copy should address. 4) If selling in multiple markets, pull the same ASIN from two storefronts and compare complaints before deciding whether positioning needs localization. 5) Finish with evidence from those reviews informing the product's positioning before writing the launch copy.
How it went
The team says it ran the competitor-review workflow for its own launch and used the sentiment to shape positioning.
