Overview

/vs-competitor is the fastest way to put yourself head-to-head with a competitor. It posts shareable comparison links you can drop straight into a deal or send to a prospect.

Who it's for: 🎯 Sales Rep — the person defending a deal against a named competitor.

Use case: You need a head-to-head competitor view to send to a prospect or to brief a colleague.

Prerequisites

  • A Steve project with competitors configured and shareable competitor views enabled
  • The Steve bot added to the channel, if you're running it in a channel

How to use it

/vs-competitor

In a channel, address the bot instead: /steve vs-competitor

Steve narrows to your assigned project, or posts a project picker if there's more than one candidate. Project selection is the only filter here — there's no second filter card. Steve then posts a Competitor View Links block, one row per competitor, each with an Open view link to that competitor's shareable comparison page.

If a project has no comparison links set up yet, Steve tells you so instead of returning an empty result.

Caption: One row per competitor, each with a link that opens a live, shareable comparison page.

Best ways to use it

  • Send the link, don't rebuild the pitch. Each Open view link is a live, external comparison page; paste it into the deal thread or forward it to the buyer.
  • Pull it during a competitive call. When a prospect names who else they're evaluating, /vs-competitor gets you the side-by-side in seconds.
  • Trust it's current. The comparison pages reflect the latest intel your team has curated, so you're never sending a stale deck.
