Message a company name to our Telegram bot. A Hermes-native agency researches the live web and returns a full, sourced Battle Pack while you wait.
Just send Battle Linear — no signup, no forms.
Rival is not one prompt. It is a Hermes manager that spawns specialist subagents, runs them in parallel over live search, then writes one validated analysis.
Message the target on Telegram. Rival picks one fair market arena and its three closest competitors — asking a single question only if the target is ambiguous.
The manager spawns parallel researchers on separate axes — positioning, pricing, and recent signals — each pulling live public-web evidence through Linkup.
A writer merges structured claims into one canonical Battle Pack, keeps every claim tied to its source, and escalates instead of guessing when evidence is thin.
The same analysis becomes a Telegram brief, a public web report, a PDF, social drafts, a share image, and a voice briefing — every run logged for proof.
Rival never re-invents facts per channel. Every deliverable is rendered from the same validated Battle Pack, so the numbers stay consistent everywhere.
Executive verdict, top three findings, confidence and source count, delivered in chat.
An interactive comparison page with the full matrix, deep dives, and claim-level sources.
A print-optimized 4-6 page brief, attached in Telegram and linked publicly.
A ready-to-review 800-1,300 character post you approve before it ever ships.
A five-post thread drafted from the same verdict, kept requester-reviewed.
A branded 1200x630 comparison card built for LinkedIn and X previews.
A 20-30 second spoken executive summary generated with ElevenLabs.
Every run's success, latency, cost, and confidence — verifiable, not claimed.
A real-shaped Battle Pack: one clear verdict, a normalized comparison matrix, and a confidence badge backed by counted sources.
Linear wins decisively on speed, keyboard-first UX, and developer trust. Its sharpest exposure is enterprise portfolio reporting and granular admin controls, where Jira still leads. Best wedge against incumbents: teams frustrated by Jira setup overhead.

Rival is engineered around an evidence gate. If the public web cannot back a fair comparison, it tells you honestly instead of dressing up a guess.
Every material claim carries a citation with publisher, URL, and date. Each company needs at least two credible sources before it makes the card.
When evidence is weak or sources conflict, Rival escalates and offers you choices — narrow the arena, change rivals, or proceed at visibly low confidence.
Every run records latency, cost, confidence, and the agents it spawned to a live dashboard. If it isn't on screen, it doesn't count.
No signup. No form. Just message the bot and watch the agency go to work.
