01 — Switch-Targets

Competitors' customers are the most valuable class of leads.

Whoever buys from the competition today has long since settled budget, need and buying center. You don't have to convince them they need the product — only that yours is the better one. Kodo finds these companies systematically.

1.1

Uncover competitors' customers

Reference lists, case studies, press releases, trade show reports: Kodo reads where your competitors name their own customers — with a source for every find.

1.2

Score switch likelihood

Expiring contracts, new decision-makers, expansion, complaint signals: every switch target gets a score from 0 to 10.

1.3

Ready for sales

Every switch target comes with decision-maker, rationale and pitch angle — sorted by switch likelihood.

1.4

Market gaps included

Where does no competitor offer what the market demands? The report names the gap — and the matching targets for it.

Kodo Leads

02 — The sources

Three sources. An inexhaustible lead pipeline.

No tool in the world uses patent databases and semantic website crawling to generate hidden leads. Kodo does.

2.1 — Model knowledge

AI Instant Knowledge

Kodo starts searching immediately with known competitors from its trained model knowledge — before a single search query is even made.

Direct competitors from AI knowledge
Alternative technologies identified
Product category & ICP automatically detected

2.2 — Live Web

Hundreds of data queries

Kodo automatically generates and performs hundreds of different search queries across distributed sources — direct competitors, alternative technologies, industry-specific queries, and deep web searches.

Direct product competitors
Technological substitutes
Industry directories & trade shows
Multi-language: DE, EN, and more

2.3 — Patents

EPO Patent Database

The most powerful source for technological competitors: Kodo searches the European patent database with automatically generated IPC codes and keywords.

Automatic IPC code generation
Keyword filter on title & abstract
Up to 200 patents searched
Finds hidden champions without a web presence

03 — Patent-Intelligence

The invisible competitors. Now visible.

Technological competitors patent silently — without trade show appearances, without SEO, without LinkedIn posts. They don't appear in any CRM database. But they do in the patent register.

Kodo automatically generates technology-specific IPC codes and keywords, combines them into precise CQL queries and analyzes up to 200 patent filings — for every report, fully automated.

01

Precision search via CQL. IPC codes and keywords in title/abstract combined. Instead of 95,000 useless hits — 200 highly relevant patents.

02

Bidirectional patent search. First search globally by technology, then run an additional applicant-based EPO search for every competitor found — maximum coverage.

03

Intelligent noise filtering. Individuals, universities, authorities, and private patent holders are automatically filtered out. Only real industrial competitors remain.

04 — The report

What's in the report — in detail

A Product Intelligence report is not a database export. It is a full competitor analysis — created by AI that truly reads and understands.

4.1

All Competitors

Direct competitors, alternative technologies, emerging niche providers — combined and deduplicated from three sources.

4.2

AI prospect scoring with contacts

Every prospect gets a score from 0 to 10. With LinkedIn contacts, website signals and commercial register data. The best leads on top, the weakest below.

FAQ

FAQ

Everything you need to know about Product Intelligence and competitor analysis.

What is Product Intelligence?
Product Intelligence is a fully automated competitive analysis at the product level. You enter a product URL and receive a report with all relevant competitors, their product positioning, patent portfolio and Buy Fit Score. Kodo combines AI analysis, hundreds of targeted data queries and the European patent database EPO into a single intelligence report.
How does Kodo find competitors?
Kodo first analyzes the product URL you enter to understand the product semantically. The AI then runs hundreds of targeted data queries across distributed sources and, in parallel, searches the EPO patent database Espacenet for companies with similar patent filings. The result is a comprehensive competitor list that goes beyond simple searches.
What data does a competitor report contain?
Each competitor in the report receives a full profile: company size and description, product portfolio and positioning, patent portfolio with number and type of intellectual property rights, buy-fit score (0–100), and direct contact details. Additionally, the report contains an overall assessment of competitor intensity in the market.
How are patents analyzed?
Kodo accesses the European patent database via the official EPO Espacenet OPS API. For each competitor found, the full patent portfolio is retrieved: number of patents, technical classifications (IPC codes), and filing years. This allows you to see at a glance who is actively protecting which technology areas and how innovative the competitors are.
How long does a Product Intelligence report take?
A full Product Intelligence report with 30 or more competitors is typically ready in 15 to 20 minutes. The duration depends on the number of competitors found and the depth of the analysis. You will be notified as soon as your report is ready — no manual waiting required.
Yes. You can have multiple product URLs analyzed in parallel. Each analysis runs independently and generates its own report. This allows you to examine different product lines or various market segments simultaneously and directly compare the results.
